Designed for riders looking for the premium benefits of the GORE-TEX laminated construction, and Alpinestars engineered ergonomic mobility, the Alpinestars Stella ST-7 2L GTX women's jacket is a lighter weight jacket, targeting less intensive use, in terms of hard off-road adventure. The ST-7 has a pattern with a specifically tailored fit designed for natural mobility on the bike.
The Stella ST-7 motorcycle jacket features a fully waterproof and breathable laminated GORE-TEX main shell which is durable, lightweight, and flexible. The chassis provides a comfort fit with a pre-curved pattern and large stretch panels on the chest, back, and underarms for excellent freedom of movement. The outer shell has ergonomic and waterproof cargo pockets providing comfort even when in the riding position. In addition, the shell sports a straight collar with direct closure and shock cord adjustment to seal the area around the neck in case of rain or colder weather, as well as direct ventilation panels on the chest, and zippered openings on the arms to provide increased ventilation.
Internally, the Tech-Air® Ready, ST-7 2L Gore-Tex ladies jacket has CE Level 2 rated Nucleon Flex Pro elbow and shoulder protectors, plus a removable thermal liner consisting of 100g torso insulation with 60g insulation on the arms – the appropriate amount for year-round climate control.

Removable GTX Liner
In garments with a removable GTX liner, the waterproof membrane is separate from the jacket or pants. This offers flexibility, as the liner can be removed in warmer conditions. In the rain, the rider stays dry, but the outer fabric can absorb water, making the garment heavier and colder, and increasing drying time.
Z-Liner GTX
With a fixed Z-liner, the GTX membrane is permanently placed between the inner lining and the outer shell. This system offers greater convenience since nothing needs to be removed. However, similar to a removable liner, the outer fabric can still become saturated during rain.
Laminated GTX
With laminated GTX, the membrane is directly bonded to the outer fabric. This prevents the material from absorbing water, causing rain to bead off the surface. The result is a lighter garment that dries faster and cools less in wet conditions. Laminated GORE-TEX is often chosen by riders who commute daily or frequently ride in changing weather conditions. Because this construction is less flexible, effective ventilation is essential for comfort on warm days.
Laminated 2-Layer and 3-Layer
Within laminated GTX, a distinction is made between 2-layer (2L) and 3-layer (3L) constructions. In 2-layer GTX, the membrane is laminated to the outer fabric and protected by a separate inner lining. In 3-layer GTX, the membrane is permanently bonded to both the outer fabric and the inner lining. This prevents layer movement, reduces wear, and increases durability, especially during intensive use.
