This collection includes textile jackets, leather jackets, and hybrid designs engineered for different riding disciplines. You'll find options for street riding, sport/track use, adventure touring, and urban commuting. Each jacket category offers specific protection features, ventilation systems, and weather resistance tailored to its intended use. The collection spans from race-derived sport jackets with aerodynamic fits to versatile touring jackets with removable liners for multi-season riding.
Many jackets in this collection are designed with Tech-Air® compatibility, featuring integrated pockets and connection points for Alpinestars' electronic airbag system. Tech-Air® compatible jackets are specifically marked in their product descriptions. The system provides AI-powered crash detection and deployment across chest, back, and shoulder areas. For riders seeking maximum protection, we recommend reviewing individual product specifications or exploring our dedicated Tech-Air® products collection to understand compatibility options.
Jackets in this collection meet various CE certification standards depending on their design and intended use. Most feature CE-certified armor in shoulders and elbows, with provisions for optional back protectors. Sport and racing jackets may include FIM homologation for professional competition use. The protective materials used—including Nomex, Kevlar, and advanced synthetic fabrics—are selected based on abrasion resistance testing and impact protection requirements. Specific certification levels (CE Level 1 or Level 2) vary by model and are detailed in individual product specifications.
The choice between leather and textile depends on your riding style, climate, and protection priorities:
| Feature | Leather Jackets | Textile Jackets |
|---|---|---|
| Abrasion Resistance | Superior, especially premium kangaroo leather | Excellent with modern technical fabrics |
| Weather Versatility | Limited, best in dry conditions | Multi-layer systems for all conditions |
| Ventilation | Minimal airflow | Advanced ventilation systems |
| Best For | Sport/track riding, dry climates | Touring, adventure, variable weather |

Seasonal versatility varies across the collection. Many jackets feature removable thermal liners and waterproof membranes that adapt to changing conditions, making them suitable for spring through fall riding. Sport-focused jackets typically offer fixed-season performance with enhanced ventilation for warm weather or insulated construction for cold conditions. Adventure and touring jackets generally provide the most seasonal flexibility through modular liner systems. For year-round riding, consider jackets with multiple removable layers, adjustable ventilation, and weatherproof outer shells that can be configured for temperatures ranging from cold mornings to hot afternoons.
