FAQs
Is the Alpinestars Zaca Air Jacket waterproof?
The jacket includes a detachable waterproof liner for rain protection, but the primary focus is breathability, so it’s not fully waterproof without the liner.
Can I use the jacket without the armor?

What kind of riding is this jacket best suited for?
The Zaca Air Jacket is ideal for street and sport riders in warmer climates, seeking a combination of ventilation, protection, and style.
How do I clean the jacket?
Remove the armor and machine wash the jacket in cold water on a delicate cycle. Air dry it and clean the armor with a damp cloth.
Is the Tech-Air® 5 Airbag System included with the jacket?

Water is leaking through the jacket.
Make sure the waterproof liner is properly installed and zipped into the jacket. Check that the zippers are fully closed.
