The Rhod Windstopper hoodie by Alpinestars is a real wind stopper, that may be clear. And this softshell jacket also looks great. Ideal for an urban environment or the occasional commuter. Or for the style-conscious motorcyclist. Or the person who wants to stay light and practical on the road. Or a short trip. Or for...
No one will blame you if you don't immediately mistake this hoodie for a full-blown jacket. But the Rhod Windstopper definitely is one. Fully CE-certified, it is made from a soft and supple 'Technical Softshell' reinforced with aramid. Hardwearing, fitted with an integrated windbreaker membrane and a fair amount of stretch fabric, this is a comfortable garment above all else. And you can also safely mount a motorcycle with it.
The short cut, the elastic sleeve ends and waist, the stretch ... the Rhod Windstopper motorcycle hoodie by Alpinestars doesn't need to depict a wind vane. Keep it tight. That's what makes it so sporty. Although as a motorcycle hoodie, this actually comes into its own everywhere, it remains a casual motorcycle garment. Not bad at all, especially when your main area of action is the secondary roads. Waiting at traffic lights is a hundred times more comfortable in the Rhod Windstopper than in any other jacket. Just like navigating through the big city.
Suppose you do want to take the motorway - and with the windstopper in mind - you simply unbutton the hood and you're left with a smart and trendy jacket. That it's not a waterproof winter jacket, we don't have to emphasize, right? It's multi-purpose, that's for sure, with common sense.
You will wear the Rhod Windstopper hoodie more often than you thought. Practical, easy, smooth, convenient, pleasant, safe too ... the list of assets is practically endless. It makes sure that you don't have to think long which jacket to pick in the morning: as soon as the weather allows it, you’re off.
With CE-certified, level 1 Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder and elbow protectors and the GP Lite shoulder protection (which is imported from the racing scene) this is vintage Alpinestars at its best. The Nucleon Plasma back protector (level 2 certified) or Nucleon KR-CELLi back protector (level 1 certified) is optional, just like the Nucleon KR-CELL CiR chest protector that you can fit.
Two side pockets, one napoleon pocket and two additional inner pockets provide the necessary storage space. It's all finished to the known level, with details that reflect, good zip pulls, thumb loops on the sleeves and a wrap-around hem that hides the hood's snaps.
That you might wear a good pair of motorcycle jeans underneath, seems obvious. There can only be one conclusion: excellent motorcycle jacket. Pardon: motorcycle hoodie.
