Shop Alpinestars textile motorcycle jackets at Moto Central, from ventilated summer shells and riding hoodies to waterproof touring and adventure jackets. The live range covers men's and women's fits, several riding styles and different approaches to weather protection.
A textile jacket is not one fixed type of garment. Mesh and air-panel designs prioritise airflow, Drystar and Gore-Tex models manage wet-weather riding, while urban jackets and technical hoodies offer a more casual shape. Compare the intended use, garment certification, included armour, waterproof construction and compatible upgrades on the individual product page.
Choose airflow for regular summer use, a waterproof membrane for frequent rain, or a removable thermal layer and adjustable vents when temperatures vary.
Included shoulder and elbow armour, garment certification, back-protector compatibility and Tech-Air readiness differ. Use the specification for the exact jacket.
A jacket should hold its protectors in position without restricting reach to the handlebars. Try it in a riding posture and allow room for the layers you genuinely use.
Check how the collar, cuffs and waist overlap gloves and trousers. Where a connection zip is important, confirm compatibility rather than assuming every Alpinestars garment connects.
Waterproof does not mean identical: fixed membranes, removable liners and laminated constructions behave differently. Ventilation, warmth and wet-weather performance should be compared alongside the jacket's protective role.
Moto Central keeps one of the broadest Alpinestars jacket selections together, making it easier to compare sport, touring, adventure, urban and women's-specific options. At the Wolvey showroom, the team can help assess riding fit, armour position, layering, glove overlap and matching trousers rather than judging a jacket only by its label size.
No. Some prioritise ventilation or urban comfort. Look for the stated Drystar, Gore-Tex or other waterproof construction on the exact model.
It depends on the jacket. Many provide a compatible pocket or upgrade route, but the included protection must be checked on the product page.
Allow for intended layers, but do not oversize the jacket so far that its armour can move away from the correct position.
Yes. The team can check fit, overlap and the stated connection options for the particular garments.
