Alpinestars Ketchum Gore-Tex Jacket Black

Lightweight Gore-Tex road jacket for all-weather riding

The Ketchum Gore-Tex is Alpinestars' road-orientated all-weather jacket, built light: a fixed Gore-Tex waterproof and breathable liner, a removable thermal jacket for the cold months, and direct ventilation ports front and back (the rear ones open with a shock cord) for summer. The fabric is chosen for abrasion resistance without bulk, with a GP Lite shoulder cup over CE Level 2 Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder and elbow protectors. The garment is certified to EN17092 AA class.

Sizing and fit

Sizes S to 4XL in Black. The rear is cut to an elongated touring length for coverage on the bike, stretch panels around the armpits keep it mobile, and arm and waist adjusters tune the fit once the thermal liner is out. The main zip is a large-tooth magnetic-engagement type that's easy to start with gloves on, and there are reflective details for low light.

Complete the set

Pair it with Road Tech Gore-Tex Pants or Road Pro Gore-Tex Pants for a fully Gore-Tex outfit, with Crestone Gore-Tex Gloves. A back protector is an upgrade; add a Nucleon Plasma back insert.
