The Andes v4 Drystar® Jacket blends advanced functionality with a sleek, modern style that adventure riders and commuters alike will appreciate for its practicality and all-weather performance. Engineered with Alpinestars' proprietary Drystar® construction, this jacket ensures 100% waterproof protection and exceptional breathability, making it a reliable companion for any journey, regardless of the conditions.
Constructed from a robust mix of reinforced 450D polyfabric and rip-stop textiles, the jacket is built for long-lasting durability. It incorporates large stretch softshell panels to enhance mobility and features PU reinforcements in high-abrasion areas like the shoulders, elbows, and forearms. For versatile climate control, the jacket includes a detachable full-sleeve thermal lining (100g body, 80g sleeves) and extended direct ventilation openings on the chest for optimal airflow during warmer rides.
Impact protection is a priority, featuring Level 1 Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder and elbow armor. The jacket also includes integrated chest and back compartments ready for Nucleon PLASMA or cell protectors (available as an accessory upgrade). A customizable fit is achieved through waist adjusters, a collar drawstring, bicep snaps, and forearm straps, while the elongated rear hem provides extra coverage and comfort in the riding position.
Storage is ample and practical, with multiple waterproof and water-resistant pockets, including a large rear compartment and cargo pockets with integrated quick-access points. Additional features include a hydration hose loop on the chest, a waterproof VISLON® front zipper, and reflective inserts to increase rider visibility in low-light conditions.
