The Ares Jacket is a jacket that combines excellent protection with superior comfort. Perfect for the demanding adventure touring rider. The ultra-light GORE-TEX® membrane guarantees the best possible waterproofing. The removable thermal liner keeps you warm on colder riders and the new ventilation on chest and back provides excellent airflow even when the jacket is closed. Storing your valuables is no problem either, with plenty of pockets available on the chest and even waterproof pcokets on the forearm and a waterproof document pocket on the inside of the jacket. This jacket can be matched perfectly with and securely attached to any textile pant model in the Alpinestars touring range. Twin slider YKK zipper opens from the top or bottom for versatility. Adjustable straps around the waist and arms allow a tailored fit and help keep protectors in position and close to the body while poly-textile stretch panels on back and elbows make sure you have enough freedom of movement on the bike. Extra safety can be added by installing an Alpinestars Nucleon back and/or chest protector as an accessory.
