Alpinestars Tech ST GTX jacket
ALPINESTARS have added the Tech ST GTX range to their 2013 collection. Featured here is the jacket, but there are matching trousers available too. Billed as a premium all-weather road-touring jacket, it is constructed with a 100% waterproof GORE-TEX outer shell.
It also features sealed waterproof seams, CE-certified shoulder and elbow armour, detachable windstopper high collar with fleece lining and a removable thermal lining.
Here's what Alpinestars have to say about it:

• GORE-TEX® outer shell structure provides impenetrable barrier against rain and wind while maintaining breathability.
