Overview
The Stella 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. Anatomically designed for the female figure, this jacket is constructed from reinforced 450D poly-fabric textile for exceptional durability. The integrated Drystar® membrane ensures 100% waterproof protection and breathability, and it can be worn both over and under the jacket depending on rider preference for added versatility.
For comfort in changing climates, the jacket features a removable long-sleeve thermal liner (100g body, 80g sleeves) and extended direct ventilation openings on the chest with an overlap back closure for optimized air circulation. Mobility is enhanced through large stretch softshell panels and pre-contoured sleeves, while durable ripstop and PU reinforcements in high-abrasion areas like the shoulders, elbows, and forearms provide extra ruggedness.
The jacket offers a highly customizable fit with waist adjusters, a collar drawstring, bicep snaps, forearm straps, and wrist closures. An elongated hem provides greater coverage in the rear for riding comfort, complemented by a hydration hose loop on the chest for long-distance journeys. Storage is ample with multiple waterproof (WP) and water-resistant (WR) pockets, including cargo pockets with an integrated quick-access pocket and a large rear compartment.
Safety and protection are central to the design, featuring Level 1 Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder and elbow armor for effective impact resistance. The jacket also includes integrated chest and back compartments ready for Nucleon PLASMA or cell protectors (available as accessory upgrades). For increased visibility in low-light conditions, reflective inserts are strategically placed, while a waterproof VISLON® zipper ensures a secure and fast front closure.
