A top-of-the-line, GP-style motorcycle jacket that's Tech Air® compatible. The ultimate protection for the upper body, that's how you can see this GP Pro V2. An important share also goes to comfort, and that combination is impressive.
The GP Pro V2 Tech-Air® compatible jacket is - for a good understanding - actually the top half of a thoroughbred race suit.
The sturdy 1.3 mm thick, perforated here and there cowhide exterior acts as a kind of harness. With extra Kevlar elements at the shoulders and the elbows, just to be sure. Besides a pleasant, comfortable function, the mesh lining also plays a role in the climate control. Between these two layers, you will find a removable windbreaker, which extends the range of the ALPINESTARS GP Pro V2.
A harness like this - almost a second skin - should be tight around the body. However, tight and uncomfortable are not synonyms: stretch material on the shoulders and sleeves, but also at the elbows, create enough room to move. Of course the ALPINESTARS GP Pro V2 remains a short, sporty, leather motorcycle jacket, but the Italians also integrate a lot of comfort.
This does not mean that safety is compromised. On the contrary. The ALPINESTARS GP Pro V2 is a jacket you can look at for an hour or two, before taking it on the road. There is so much to discover that we - but we are weirdos - would hang one in our living room. Above the racing motorbike that we were finally allowed to display there after a long time of insistence.
The fact is: from the safety seams to the GP-R protectors on the elbows and shoulders, from the optional Nucleon KR-2i back protector (level 2-certified) or Nucleon KR-CELLi back protector (level 1-certified) or Nucleon KR-R CELL back protector (level 2-certified, snap-on system) and/or the Nucleon Flex Pro Ci chest protectors to the ergonomic hump, this is pure world-class on just about every level.
In terms of safety, in terms of comfort and in terms of finish. Two outside pockets, one inside pocket and a napoleon pocket, the soft finish at the collar and an adjustable waist underline the fact that this is and remains Alpinestars. Down to the smallest details.
Would you like to turn this motorcycle racing jacket into a more full-fledged race outfit, then the long connecting zipper can certainly be a solution.
