Alpinestars Monteira Drystar XF Jacket

Laminated adventure touring jacket that stays light in the rain

The Monteira Drystar XF is Alpinestars' adventure touring jacket for long trips in bad weather. The 2-layer laminated Drystar XF membrane is bonded to a 450D hard shell with 600D dobby reinforcements and a DWR finish, so the outer doesn't get heavy and soggy and dries fast after rain. Wide direct vents open with one hand on the move, and a detachable 80 g full-sleeve thermal liner covers winter. Armour is Level 2 CE Nucleon Flex Pro at the shoulders and elbows, and it's Tech-Air ready. Certified to EN17092 AA class.
