Alpinestars Atem v5 Leather Jackets

Engineered for the modern sports bike rider, this racing jacket is the epitome of performance and protection. Crafted with a dedicated *Race* fit and pre-curved arms, it ensures maximum riding efficiency while delivering optimum levels of rider comfort. The use of Alpinestars Flex Plus *Race* leather throughout not only enhances durability but also provides race-proven protection on the shoulders and elbows.

Experience exceptional breathability and freedom of movement with Alpinestars composite stretch technology and A-CS Plus stretch panels. These panels are lighter and have a lower profile than traditional leather accordion panels, making them about nine percent lighter while offering superior stretch performance, with an elongation of approximately 30%. This innovative material also boasts impressive tear resistance—300% greater than Hyper Resistant Stretch Fiber—and cut resistance that surpasses leather by 600%.

The jacket features RIDEKNIT engineered inner arms that combine high abrasion resistance with flexibility and comfort. Flex Plus bovine *Race* leather construction is 10% lighter than standard bovine leather, providing 80% more adaptability for superior freedom of movement. Extensive technical stretch panels are strategically placed under the arms, on the inner arms, and around the neck for an optimized fit, supported by 3D pattern body mapping for an enhanced race fit.

Safety is paramount with dual density DFS RR shoulder and elbow protectors for superior friction control, GP elbow armor for added impact protection, and Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder armor. The jacket is also Tech-Air 5 and Tech-Air 3 ready, ensuring you are equipped for the latest in airbag technology.

Designed with comfort in mind, the low profile sports collar enhances aerodynamic performance, while the ergonomic hook and loop cuffs and a zippered sleeve on the forearm facilitate ease of use. The streamlined speed hump not only improves aerodynamics but also features a chamber for a hydration pouch. A waterproof inner compartment securely stores your valuables, complemented by two zippered external side pockets for practical storage solutions.

The mesh interior comfort liner accommodates a back protector or a split chest protector, and a 3/4 waist zip ensures a secure connection with Alpinestars pants. With a longer cut on the back, this jacket offers greater coverage in the riding position, making it a must-have for any serious rider.
