Stay protected and comfortable on every adventure ride with durable all-weather performance, advanced ventilation, and premium impact protection.
The Alpinestars Borrego Drystar® Jacket is built for riders who demand durability, adaptability, and safety on every terrain. Combining a rugged waxed-canvas aesthetic with modern technical features, this jacket is designed to keep you comfortable and protected whether you’re cruising highways or tackling off-road trails.
Constructed from a stretch polyfabric canvas blend of polyester and cotton, the Borrego ensures long-lasting wear with excellent mobility. Its detachable Drystar® liner gives you unmatched versatility: wear it inside for windproof protection or over the jacket for waterproof* performance when the rain starts pouring. For warmer conditions, direct ventilation zippers along the arms and torso deliver a steady flow of cooling air.
Safety is at the core of the Borrego. The jacket comes fitted with CE Level 2 Nucleon PLASMA PRO armor at the shoulders and elbows for superior impact resistance. It’s also Tech-Air® Ready, designed to integrate seamlessly with Alpinestars’ advanced airbag systems, featuring expansion panels that accommodate deployment without restricting movement.
Practicality is another highlight: with nine functional pockets, including chest, cargo, side-entry hand, inner, and a large rear compartment, you’ll have all the storage space you need for adventure essentials. Dakar-inspired reverse hand pockets further enhance its utility both on and off the bike.
With its ergonomic fit, extended back for extra coverage, and premium protective features, the Borrego Drystar® Jacket is a go-to choice for riders looking for all-weather protection, comfort, and adventure-ready versatility.

Motorcycle gear comes in various levels of waterproofness, which is important for comfort and safety during wet rides. Most waterproof jackets, pants, gloves, and footwear have a membrane that prevents water from penetrating the outer layer. These products keep you dry, but there's a limit to how much they can penetrate. A waterproof membrane doesn't mean 100% waterproof. With prolonged exposure to rain or under high pressure, the outer layer can still let moisture through. This means you could get wet after longer rides in heavy rain, especially in areas where the fabric moves intensively or where seams are less well-protected.
Looking for 100% waterproof? Then choose a product with a Gore-Tex membrane. Gore-Tex is a specially designed membrane that is both waterproof and breathable. The membrane contains microscopic pores that are too small for water droplets to penetrate, but large enough to allow water vapor (sweat) to escape. This keeps rain and spray out, while your body heat and moisture are wicking away. You will ride dry and comfortable, even in prolonged or heavy rain.
In short: regular waterproof motorcycle clothing keeps out short(er) rainshowers, while Gore-Tex effectively protects against prolonged rain and at the same time provides breathable comfort.
