New: Alpinestars Tech ST GTX jacket

ALPINESTARS have added the Tech ST GTX range to their 2013 collection. Featured here is the jacket, but there are matching trousers available too. Billed as a premium all-weather road-touring jacket, it is constructed with a 100% waterproof GORE-TEX outer shell.

It also features sealed waterproof seams, CE-certified shoulder and elbow armour, detachable windstopper high collar with fleece lining and a removable thermal lining.

Here's what Alpinestars have to say about it:

Construction
• Innovative, 3-layer textile and leather construction with sealed waterproof seams and ventilation openings, which is fully compliant with GORE-TEX® motorcycle rain test requirements.
• GORE-TEX® outer shell structure provides impenetrable barrier against rain and wind while maintaining breathability.
• Alpinestars exclusive Climate Control System (CCS) with GORE-TEX® approved waterproof air intakes and rear exhaust zippers, which offer greater regulation of internal airflow for enhanced riding comfort.

Safety features
• GORE-TEX® Armacor seat panel for high levels of abrasion resistance and durability.
• CE-certified advanced soft polymer shoulder and elbow protectors are light and breathable.
• Chest and back pad compartments with PE protective padding (CE certified Bio Armor back protector insert available as accessory).
• Durable outer leather shoulders and elbow protection panels improve abrasion resistance.
• Double Velcro sleeve fastening system helps prevent protection displacement during impact slide.

Comfort
• Rear shoulder stretch panels and elbow accordion stretch panels for greater maneuverability.
• YKK waterproof zippers on all external openings and semi-auto lock zippers on cuffs to ensure sleeve openings remain secure.
• Elongated rear profile and raised front profile for improved comfort in riding position.
• Width adjustment on jacket sleeves and waist.
• Year-round climate control with removable thermal lining and fit to allow Alpinestars Touring Mid Layer Top to be worn underneath.
