FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Alpinestars Dusk Airflow Leather Jacket is designed for ventilation and is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry conditions.
What type of protection does it offer?
It offers Class AA protective clothing for motorcyclists (EN17092-3:2020) and includes Level 1 Nucleon PLASMA elbow and Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder protectors.
Can I wear this jacket in the winter?
While the leather offers some insulation, the jacket's primary design is for airflow. For winter riding, it is recommended to wear thermal base layers underneath and potentially a waterproof outer shell if needed.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart and measure your chest and waist according to the instructions. The UK waist size for this specific product is 46.
Can I add different armor?
Yes, the jacket is designed with pockets for the included armor, and these pockets can typically accommodate other compatible Alpinestars Nucleon protectors for enhanced protection, if desired.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 6-12 months, or more frequently if the jacket is exposed to harsh conditions, gets wet, or shows signs of dryness.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stiff, apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the teeth.
Armor feels bulky or uncomfortable
Ensure the armor is correctly positioned within its designated pockets. Try adjusting the fit of the jacket by using the adjustment straps if available. The armor may also become more comfortable after a break-in period.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Condition the leather immediately with a quality leather conditioner. Ensure the jacket is stored properly away from direct heat and sunlight.
Jacket feels too warm
This jacket is designed for airflow. For colder conditions, consider wearing thermal base layers underneath. Ensure ventilation zippers are closed if they are contributing to unwanted airflow in cool weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Alpinestars Dusk Airflow Leather Jacket comes ready to wear. The Nucleon PLASMA protectors are pre-installed in their respective pockets at the shoulders and elbows. Ensure the zippers and closures are functioning correctly before your first ride.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the jacket.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a quality leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying or cracking. Apply conditioner after cleaning and allow it to absorb fully.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a padded hanger in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid folding or storing in plastic bags, which can prevent the leather from breathing.
