  • According to European statutory law the CE mark is a conformity requirement for the marketing of this product. The following standards apply: Fully CE-certified riding garment to CE – Category II EN17092-3: 2020 standard – AA Class.
Construction
  • Alpinestars composite stretch technology, A-CS® Plus, stretch panels on the torso for exceptional breathability, comfort, and freedom of movement, as well as delivering a lighter weight and a lower profile than a traditional leather accordion panel (the A-CS® Plus panels are about 9% lighter than leather panels). Another key advantage of using A-CS® Plus is its superior stretch performance; A-CS® Plus has about 30% elongation, and offers an increase in tear resistance of 300% compared to HRSF (Hyper Resistant Stretch Fiber), and an increase in cut resistance by 600% versus leather.
  • 1.3mm ‘Race’ grade leather construction for the optimum blend of abrasion resistance and comfort.
  • RIDEKNIT® engineered inner arms; RIDEKNIT® combines high abrasion and tear resistance with high flexibility, comfort and mechanical stretch while still delivering superior comfort and high levels of breathability.

Frequently asked questions Hide FAQs
How should the GP Plus R V4 RIDEKNIT Leather Jacket fit, and which size should I choose?

The GP Plus R V4 RIDEKNIT® Leather Jacket has a dedicated Sport fit with pre-curved arms. A-CS® Plus torso panels and RIDEKNIT® inner arms provide stretch for movement in the riding position, while the adjustable waist helps refine the fit.

The Black White version is listed in sizes 48–60. Compare your measurements with the Alpinestars size guide and check that the shoulder and elbow armor stays correctly positioned without restricting movement.

What CE rating and armor does the GP Plus R V4 RIDEKNIT Leather Jacket have?

The jacket is CE-certified to Category II EN 17092-3:2020, Class AA. Its construction combines 1.3 mm race-grade leather with Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder armor, GP Lite elbow armor, and dual-density DFS external shoulder protection.

The mesh interior liner also has pockets to accommodate a back protector or split chest protector. The AA classification applies to the garment and is not an impact-armor level.

Which Tech-Air systems are compatible with the GP Plus R V4 RIDEKNIT Leather Jacket?

The GP Plus R V4 RIDEKNIT® Leather Jacket is listed as compatible with the Tech-Air® 5 Plasma System, Tech-Air® 5 System, and Tech-Air® 3 V2 System.

When choosing your jacket size, follow the selected airbag system's fit and clearance instructions. Tech-Air® compatibility does not mean an airbag system is included with the jacket.

Is the GP Plus R V4 RIDEKNIT Leather Jacket waterproof or ventilated?

This model is designed for ventilation, with localized perforations on the chest and sides, breathable RIDEKNIT® inner arms, A-CS® Plus torso panels, and a mesh comfort liner.

No waterproof membrane or thermal liner is specified for this jacket. Do not rely on it as waterproof rain protection; its documented weather-related features focus on airflow and breathability.

Can I connect the GP Plus R V4 RIDEKNIT Leather Jacket to motorcycle pants?

Yes. The jacket includes a three-quarter waist zipper for connection to compatible Alpinestars riding pants. Check that your chosen pants have a matching connection zipper.

The longer back provides additional coverage in the riding position, and the hook-and-loop waist adjustment helps refine the fit around the waist.
