Alpinestars Hyde XT Drystar XF Jacket

Alpinestars Hyde XT Drystar XF Jacket The Hyde XT Drystar XF Jacket was meticulously engineered for the rugged world of off-road and dual sport adventure touring. This jacket boasts a featherlight four-way stretch, single-layer waterproof outer shell reinforced with ripstop nylon on the arms and shoulders, ensuring exceptional durability. The laminated Drystar XF membrane is the secret to its wet-weather prowess, keeping the jacket compact and lightweight while offering waterproof, breathable protection. This technology prevents water penetration, wards off windchill, and allows the fabric to breathe. Adaptability is key, with direct ventilation ports, forearm air scoops, and a Super-airflow panel providing ample ventilation in warm weather. Internally, the Hyde XT features a detachable armored mesh jacket with CE Level 1 rated armor, designed for comfort and unrestricted movement during off-road riding. It’s also Tech-Air Ready, accommodating future upgrades to level 2 Nucleon Flex Pro armor for maximum rider safety.
