Alpinestars Andes v4 Drystar Jacket

The all-year adventure and commuting jacket

The Andes v4 Drystar is Alpinestars' workhorse textile jacket: a Drystar membrane for 100% waterproofing, a removable full-sleeve thermal liner (100 g body, 80 g sleeves) for winter, and long direct-vent intakes on the chest for summer. The shell is 450D polyfabric with ripstop and PU reinforcement at the shoulders, elbows and forearms, with stretch softshell panels so it moves with you. CE Level 1 Nucleon Flex Plus armour is fitted at the shoulders and elbows, and it's Tech-Air ready.

Sizing and fit

Nine sizes from S to 6XL in three colourways. Waist adjusters, a collar drawstring, bicep snaps, forearm straps and wrist closures take up the slack once the liner comes out, and the hem runs longer at the back for coverage in the riding position. There's a hydration hose loop on the chest for longer days. Women's version: the Stella Andes v4 Drystar Jacket.
