Alpinestars AMT-8 Stretch Drystar Jacket

Stretch adventure jacket with a liner that goes over or under

The AMT-8 Stretch Drystar is the touring jacket in Alpinestars' AMT line: a fully stretch shell with an active touring fit for long days on an adventure bike. The Drystar XF stretch liner is separate from the shell, so it works as a windproof layer underneath or a waterproof layer over the top, and it packs into its own bag in the rear utility pocket. Long chest and arm vents scoop air in and a back exhaust lets it out. Armour is Level 2 Nucleon Plasma Pro at the shoulders and elbows, the liner has pockets for a divided chest protector and a back protector, and it's Tech-Air ready. Certified to EN17092 AA class.

Sizing and fit

Sizes M to 3XL in two colourways: Black and Brown. Pre-curved arms and a contoured hem keep it comfortable on the bike, with a storm collar, forearm adjusters that hold the armour in place, slim Hypalon cuffs that suit short or long gloves, and a drawstring waist.

Complete the set

The waist zip connects to the AMT-8 Stretch Drystar XF Pants. Add Bogota Drystar XF Gloves, a Nucleon Plasma back insert for the back pocket, and the Tech-Air 5 Plasma if you want airbag protection.

A new addition to the AMT (Alpinestars Motion Technology) line, the AMT-8 Stretch Drystar®XF Jacket is engineered to deliver the ultimate level of comfort during long range adventure riding activities. Like the other AMT jackets in the range, the AMT-8 has an ACTIVE fit, ergonomically designed to provide maximum range of motion and freedom of movement, guaranteeing premium comfort and protection, while at the same time offering a high level of ventilation and breathability. With its strategically positioned hyperflow ventilation ports and its Drystar®XF waterproof stretch liner, the AMT-8 Jacket is designed to provide riders cooling ventilation in the areas that need it most and keep them dry in harsh weather conditions.

• Highly breathable, 100% stretch performance jacket for unbeatable flexibility and premium rider comfort.
• ACTIVE touring fit, with pre-curved arms, ergonomic elbows and a contoured bottom edge for superior rider comfort.
• Long zippered, ventilation ports on the chest and arms provide a high level of cooling airflow when open, as they act as scoops to capture air from the incoming airstream. The AMT-8 Jacket’s hyperflow venting system provides an increased surface area of air exchange, with the side vents on the chest held open via their internal shock cord retention system.
• Back exhaust has a shingle design with the back vent always remaining open to exhaust the incoming air from the front ventilation ports, allowing for a constant cross flow of air, with airflow in on the front and out through the back exhaust.
• The waterproof Drystar®XF stretch liner is highly versatile and may be used as an inner windproof layer if worn under the jacket or as a WP layer to protect from the rain when worn over the jacket. When not in use, the liner can be easily packed up in its built-in bag, and conveniently stored in the AMT-8’s rear utility pocket.
• New 3D ergonomic pattern designed for improved flexibility and freedom of movement.
• Featuring pre-curved arms, ergonomic elbows, the AMT-8 has an ACTIVE touring fit, with a shortened, centre front zipper to minimise zipper bowing and a contoured bottom edge for superior comfort when riding on the bike.
• Versatile Drystar®XF stretch liner can be used as an inner windproof layer or an outer waterproof layer, and easily packs into its built-in bag for storage in the rear utility pocket.
• Minimalistic liner for enhanced rider comfort with internal pockets for a divided chest protector and a back protector pocket with 3D mesh channelling for improved breathability and comfort, CE level chest and back protectors are available as an optional accessory.
• New storm collar design with bungie adjuster to prevent water ingress, with integrated chin guard for unbeatable fit and comfort.
• Adjustment on forearms is designed to keep the sleeves adjusted and the protectors securely in place.
