The Nazca GORE-TEX PRO motorcycle jacket from Alpinestars is built for extreme adventure riding. This top model in the All Terra line is designed for motorcycle riders who push the limits of on- and off-road travel. If you are looking for an Alpinestars motorcycle jacket that can cope with just about anything that happens along the way, this is it.
The Nazca GORE-TEX PRO combines wear and tear-resistance, scuff-resistance, protection and climate control in a construction that adapts to the most demanding riding conditions. This clearly sits at the very top of what is possible with textile motorcycle gear. Nazca – known for its animal figures, lines and harsh conditions – is half a world away for most motorcycle riders; with this motorcycle jacket, however, Peru feels just around the corner.
The 3-layer laminated GORE-TEX PRO construction provides 100% waterproofing, windproofing and breathability. The combined density of the three laminated layers is impressive, especially given how light and relatively thin the overall package feels. The PFAS-free GORE-TEX PRO 3-layer laminated membrane keeps rain out while allowing sweat to escape, making the jacket comfortable in highly variable climates. You can use it without issue in heavy showers, harsh conditions and even snow. Stretch GORE-TEX 3-layer panels add flexibility and riding comfort without compromising waterproofing or breathability.
Superfabric reinforcements on key impact zones – shoulders, biceps and elbows – deliver superior wear- and cut-resistance. Superfabric is a quality mark in itself, guaranteeing flexibility, protection and long service life of this motorcycle jacket. This is not symbolic reinforcement; it can be the real difference between sustaining damage and having to stop or being able to continue.
The advanced ventilation system consists of six zippered intake vents at the front (arms and biceps) and four exhaust vents at the rear for optimal airflow in both seated and standing riding positions. The Superairflow Front Panel with magnetic flap creates a full-length vertical ventilation option behind the main zip, almost like a chimney. On most motorcycle jackets, a flap like that would be in the way for the other 360 days of the year. Not here. The magnets guide it neatly into its parking position without flapping or fuss. It turns the Nazca GORE-TEX PRO into the motorcycle jacket equivalent of a Swiss army knife: every element has a function and a place.
The ergonomic design integrates an innovative 4-point volume adjustment system and expanding shoulder panels at the back. This improves freedom of movement and relieves tension across the back for superior on-bike comfort. The minimalist internal construction gives a lightweight feel and increased mobility, ideal for use with Tech-Air Off-Road and for adding your own thermal mid-layers in cold conditions. The ‘absence’ of a removable thermal liner is deliberate: with a light, fully featured motorcycle jacket like this, the rider chooses the base and mid-layers.
Nucleon PLASMA Pro Level 2 shoulder and elbow protectors are ultra-flexible, ventilated and deliver effective impact protection in line with EN 1621-1:2012. A back protector is available as an option. The Nazca GORE-TEX PRO is compatible with Tech-Air airbag systems for full upper-body protection.
Two water-resistant front/side cargo pockets, two water-resistant chest pockets and two internal pockets provide secure storage for essentials. Reflective details improve visibility in low-light conditions.
