The GP Plus R v4 RIDEKNIT® Leather Jacket is optimized for superior freedom of movement and rider comfort, and features extensive race-derived features and materials, including a dedicated ‘Sport’ fit with pre-curved arms for maximum riding performance, and race-proven protection on the shoulders and elbows.
Feature:
- Extensive technical stretch panels under the arms, on the inner arms, and around the neck for an optimized fit.
- Dual density DFS shoulders for superior friction control.
- Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder armor for superior impact protection.
- Tech-Air® 5 and Tech-Air® 3 Ready.

- Two zippered external side pockets for practical and secure storage.
- Cut longer on the back for greater coverage in the riding position.
- 3/4 waist zip for a secure connection with Alpinestars pants.
- Hook and Loop adjustable waist for an optimized fit.
- Mesh liner for optimized rider comfort.
Protection:
- GP Lite elbow armor for impact protection in a key area.
- Mesh interior comfort liner with pockets to accommodate a back protector or a split chest protector.
- 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.
