The Alpinestars Andes V3 DS Jacket is engineered around an advanced reinforced polyfabric textile chassis, featuring the brand’s exclusive 100% waterproof Drystar membrane to ensure reliable protection in wet conditions. For riders requiring thermal versatility, the jacket includes a removable long-sleeve thermal liner, allowing for easy adaptation between warm and cold riding environments. This construction balances durability with weather resistance, providing a consistent foundation for all-season motorcycle touring.
Ventilation and safety are prioritized through the Direct Ventilation System (DVS), which utilizes zippered chest air intakes and back exhaust ports to facilitate high-flow cooling. The jacket is equipped with removable Nucleon Flex Plus CE Level 1 armor in the shoulders and elbows, featuring a reinforced polymer-printed texture at critical impact areas. Additionally, the design is Tech-Air 5 and Tech-Air ready, supporting integration with active airbag systems for enhanced rider protection.
