Features

• Its fixed Drystar waterproof-breathable construction, 450D polyfabric with ripstop reinforcements, direct chest ventilation, and a detachable thermal liner work together to manage weather, airflow, and impact protection while you focus on the road
• Here are the key features and how they translate into practical results for you:Drystar waterproof-breathable membrane: A fixed Alpinestars Drystar construction blocks external water ingress while allowing internal moisture vapour to escape, which keeps you dry and reduces clamminess in prolonged rain, resulting in consistent comfort and concentration during wet rides
• Ergonomic fit system: Waist adjusters, bicep snaps, forearm straps, wrist closures, a collar drawcord, and an elongated rear hem allow precise sizing over base layers and mid-layers, which stabilises armour placement and limits flapping at speed, resulting in a quieter, more settled ride
• Waterproof and water-resistant storage system: A large waterproof rear compartment, water-resistant cargo pockets with an integrated quick-access pocket, and two internal pockets organise essentials, which keeps items separated from rain and easy to find with gloved hands, resulting in practical stowage for documents, tools, or small electronics
• Waterproof VISLON front zip: A robust, smooth-running front closure with water-blocking construction minimises ingress at the main opening, which helps preserve warmth and dryness in persistent rain, resulting in less need for mid-ride adjustments
• Reflective inserts: Strategically placed reflective elements return light toward its source, which improves your visibility to other road users in low light, resulting in clearer presence at dusk, dawn, and in poor weather
• You stay dry, manage heat, and maintain protection across daily commutes and weekend rides thanks to the sealed Drystar construction, adjustable ventilation, and certified armour working in a single system

Specifications

• The Alpinestars Andes V4 Drystar Textile Motorcycle Jacket helps you ride comfortably and confidently through wet, cold, and changeable conditions
• PU-reinforced impact zones: Polyurethane overlays at the shoulders, elbows, and forearms add a tough outer layer over the textile base, which improves surface scuff resistance and helps the jacket maintain its structure during slides, resulting in added resilience where you need it most
• Removable thermal liner (100 g body / 80 g sleeves): A full-sleeve liner with specified insulation values adds targeted warmth to your core and arms, which helps you set the right level of insulation for cold starts and evening returns, resulting in flexible comfort across spring, autumn, and winter miles
• Nucleon Flex Plus armour (CE Level 1, EN 1621-1:2012): Low-profile shoulder and elbow protectors use flexible, ventilated construction to absorb impact energy, which maintains comfort and range of motion through varied riding positions, resulting in protection that you can wear all day
• CE certification (EN 17092-3:2020, Class A): The jacket meets a recognised protective clothing standard for motorcycling, which verifies abrasion, seam, and burst performance, resulting in independently assessed peace of mind on the road
