The GP Plus R v4 RIDEKNIT® Leather Jacket is optimized for superior freedom of movement and rider comfort, and features extensive race-derived features and materials including a dedicated ‘Sport’ fit with pre curved arms for maximum riding performance, and race-proven protection on the shoulders and elbows.
1.Alpinestars composite stretch technology, A-CS® Plus, stretch panels on the torso for exceptional breathability, comfort,
and freedom of movement, as well as delivering a lighter weight and a lower profile than a traditional leather accordion
panel (the A-CS® Plus panels are about 9% lighter than leather panels). Another key advantage of using A-CS® Plus
is its superior stretch performance; A-CS® Plus has about 30% elongation, and offers an increase in tear resistance
of 300% compared to HRSF (Hyper Resistant Stretch Fiber), and an increase in cut resistance by 600% versus leather.
2.1.3mm ‘Race’ grade leather construction for the optimum blend of abrasion resistance and comfort.

and mechanical stretch while still delivering superior comfort and high levels of breathability.
