FAQs
Is the Alpinestars GP Plus V4 Sprint Leather Suit waterproof?
No, as a leather racing suit, it is not designed to be waterproof. Leather can offer some water resistance, but prolonged exposure to rain should be avoided. We recommend using waterproof oversuits for wet weather conditions.
Can I wear this suit without a Tech-Air® airbag system?
Yes, you can wear the Alpinestars GP Plus V4 Sprint Leather Suit without a Tech-Air® airbag system. It provides substantial protection on its own with its Class AAA rating, GP-R protectors, and DFS sliders. The Tech-Air® compatibility offers an additional layer of active safety if chosen.
How do I clean and maintain the leather?
For general cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner, following its instructions. Regularly apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What protection standards does this suit meet?
The suit is certified as protective clothing for motorcyclists, meeting Class AAA (EN17092) standards. It includes GP-R protectors on elbows, knees, and shins, as well as GP DFS sliders for advanced impact and abrasion protection.
How often should I replace the sliders?
The frequency of slider replacement depends on your riding style and how often they contact the ground. Inspect them regularly for signs of significant wear, such as thinning or deep grooves. Replace them when they no longer provide adequate surface area or friction control.
What does 'Tech-Air® Ready' mean?
'Tech-Air® Ready' means the suit is specifically designed with internal channels and attachment points to seamlessly integrate Alpinestars Tech-Air® airbag systems, such as the Tech-Air® 7x. This allows for quick and easy installation of the airbag vest, enhancing your overall protection.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have the correct size; leather suits are designed to fit snugly. Allow for a break-in period, as the leather will stretch and conform to your body with use. If discomfort persists, reassess sizing.
Tech-Air® Airbag System not activating or connecting
Verify that the airbag system is fully charged and correctly installed within the suit according to its specific user manual. Check all connection points and ensure the system is properly armed before riding. Consult the Tech-Air® system's troubleshooting guide.
Knee or elbow sliders wearing down quickly
Slider wear is normal with aggressive riding. Regularly inspect the GP DFS sliders. Replace them with new Alpinestars compatible sliders when they show significant wear to maintain effective friction control and protection.
Leather becoming stiff or dry
This is often due to lack of conditioning or improper drying. Clean the suit and then apply a generous amount of high-quality leather conditioner. Allow it to soak in, then buff any excess. Avoid drying the suit in direct sunlight or with artificial heat.

The suit features internal routing and attachment points for seamless integration. Ensure the system is properly seated and connected.

Care
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe down the exterior with a damp, soft cloth. For stubborn dirt or grime, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Drying: If the suit gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
- Conditioning: Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important after heavy use or cleaning.
- Storage: Store the suit on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid folding the suit tightly for extended periods to prevent creasing.
