The Alpinestars T-GP R V3 Drystar motorcycle jacket is a race-derived waterproof sport textile jacket made with advanced stretch materials and features a 3D tailored sport silhouette and refined detailing.
The silhouette of the T-GP R V3 Drystar Jacket is made with a new pattern giving the jacket a real leather jacket look, supported by the race derived extended elbow armor. The jacket provides unrivaled comfort and freedom of movement through the extensive use of stretch.
More than half of the jacket is made with strategically placed tech stretch and stretch softshell materials, while the remainder is constructed from a blend of 450D and 600D polyfabric for reinforcement. When it comes to protection, DFS external sliders and Nucleon Flex Plus Level 1 protectors protect the shoulders with GP-R Lite extended armor on the elbows and forearms.
The lightweight and waterproof T-GP R V3 Drystar jacket provides breathable performance with versatile climate management. For additional climate management, the jacket has a removable stretch thermal liner featuring a mix of 100g PrimaLoft® insulation on the torso and 80g insulation on the arms, which works in combination with the zippered direct opening vents on the rider’s sides and hidden laser perforation on the rider’s back. The detachable thermal jacket also features an optimal new tech layer wrist attachment with a 360-degree Velcro system and soft velour on the inner wrist.

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.
