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:
Construction
• Innovative, 3-layer textile and leather construction with sealed waterproof seams and ventilation openings, which is fully compliant with GORE-TEX® motorcycle rain test requirements.
• GORE-TEX® outer shell structure provides impenetrable barrier against rain and wind while maintaining breathability.
• Alpinestars exclusive Climate Control System (CCS) with GORE-TEX® approved waterproof air intakes and rear exhaust zippers, which offer greater regulation of internal airflow for enhanced riding comfort.

• GORE-TEX® Armacor seat panel for high levels of abrasion resistance and durability.
• CE-certified advanced soft polymer shoulder and elbow protectors are light and breathable.
• Chest and back pad compartments with PE protective padding (CE certified Bio Armor back protector insert available as accessory).

• Double Velcro sleeve fastening system helps prevent protection displacement during impact slide.
Comfort
