The Alpinestars AST v2 Air: a mesh jacket with Nucleon Flex armor and Tech-Air 5 compatibility.
What the features mean on the road
- 600D poly-fabric with mesh on front, back and arms: airflow for hot rides.
- Removable Nucleon Flex elbow and shoulder protectors: lightweight, sleek impact protection.
- GP Lite shoulders: abrasion resistance in a key area.
- Pre-curved sleeves and hook-and-loop volume adjusters: a personal fit that holds elbow armor in place.
- Stretch panels built for the Alpinestars airbag: expansion room, and a better fit when riding without it.
- Chest and back pad compartments (Nucleon back and chest protectors are an optional upgrade).
