FAQs
What is the warranty on the jacket?
Warranty information can be found on the Alpinestars website, but generally, there is a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Alpinestars size chart, and measure your chest and waist to find the appropriate size. It's recommended to try the jacket on if possible.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
While the jacket is made of leather, which offers some water resistance, it is not fully waterproof. It's best suited for dry conditions. Use waterproof gear for riding in the rain.
How do I care for the A-CS® Plus panels?
Clean the A-CS® Plus panels with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow it to air dry.
Can I add a back protector to this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed to accommodate an Alpinestars back protector, which is sold separately.
What is the difference between this jacket and other Alpinestars leather jackets?
The GP Plus R v4 Airflow Jacket is designed for maximum ventilation with its perforation zones and A-CS® Plus panels, making it ideal for warm weather. Other Alpinestars jackets may have different features or be designed for different riding conditions or levels of protection.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or more often if you ride frequently or live in a dry climate. Regular conditioning will help maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Check the size and ensure it's appropriate for your body type. Consider adjusting the hook and loop closures. If the issue persists, you may need a larger size.
Airflow seems insufficient.
Ensure all vents are open and unobstructed. Verify that the jacket is properly fitted to allow for optimal airflow. Riding position can also impact airflow.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a leather conditioner to moisturize the leather and prevent further damage. Clean the jacket before conditioning.
