Alpinestars has built a reputation of manufacturing products that scream both style, protection and performance; these qualities are exemplified in the Alpinestars P1 Drystar Jacket. This jacket is one of Alpinestars best jackets yet when it comes to touring and sport riding. The P1 is primarily meant to be worn during warm and cool temperatures, namely during the spring, summer, and fall.
Lets check out the Alpinestars P1 Drystar Jacket Review:
The main feature of the P1 Drystar Jacket is its Alpinestars exclusive waterproof and breathable Drystar internal lining construction which is Alpinestars prime waterproof lining material to keep you dry while riding your bike in wet conditions. Protection-wise, the jacket is multiple-stitched in the main seams for maximum tear resistance, Alpinestars removable CE certified soft protectors are in the shoulders in elbows, and there are foam chest pads that can be upgraded to the Alpinestars Bionic Chest Pad. The foam back pad can also be upgraded to the CE rated Alpinestars RC Back Protector.
For your comfort, Alpinestars has loaded the P1 Drystar with multiple features to keep you comfortable while cruising. First off, they have constructed the jacket with a 500D Cordura Texland Airguard fabric which is lightweight, highly abrasion resistant and highly breathable. Along with the breathable Drystar membrane, this provides comfort in both warm and cool conditions. There is also a removable thermal full sleeve liner, with three pockets mimicking the internal jacket pockets. There are snap-operated arm adjustment tabs, zip-open intake and exhaust vents, and a soft, neoprene flap at the neck closure for additional comfort. Other features include a front center dual flap closure system for waterproofing, 360º zip for attachment to your favorite leather or textile pants, and 3M reflective panels for night time visibility.
All in all, we believe this is one of Alpinestars premium touring and sport jackets and should be a serious consideration for the casual riders.
