The Atem v5 Leather Jacket is a premium racing jacket engineered and optimized for sports bike riders, featuring race-derived technology and materials for maximum track and street performance. Designed with a dedicated ‘Race’ fit and pre-curved arms, this jacket utilizes Alpinestars Flex Plus bovine ‘Race’ leather. This specialized leather is 10% lighter than regular bovine leather while providing 80% more adaptability, ensuring superior freedom of movement and enhanced abrasion and tear resistance.
For advanced protection and comfort, the jacket incorporates Alpinestars composite stretch technology, A-CS® Plus. These torso stretch panels are approximately 9% lighter than traditional leather accordion panels, offering 30% elongation, 300% more tear resistance than HRSF, and 600% more cut resistance than leather. RIDEKNIT® engineered inner arms further enhance the experience by combining high flexibility and mechanical stretch with superior breathability.
Safety is paramount with dual-density DFS RR shoulder and elbow protectors for friction control, GP elbow armor for impact protection, and Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder armor. The jacket is also Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 ready, allowing for seamless integration of advanced airbag systems.
