The Alpinestars Andes v3 Drystar Jacket is an adventure motorcycle riding jacket built for riders who need a versatile setup across changing conditions. Its fixed Drystar membrane uses taped seams, and the jacket includes a removable long-sleeve thermal liner to adapt comfort as the weather shifts.
For on-bike functionality, it combines a multi-zippered ventilation system with multiple storage compartments and fit adjusters. Integrated protection focuses on CE Level 1 EN1621-1:2012 Alpinestars Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder and elbow protectors, and the jacket is designed to connect to Alpinestars riding pants via an internal full circumference waist connection zipper.
Comfort
A fixed Drystar membrane with taped seams forms the jacket’s weather-focused foundation, while the included removable long-sleeve thermal liner adds flexibility for cooler rides. This combination is intended to keep the Andes v3 Drystar ready for the variable conditions common in adventure and touring use without changing jackets.
Ventilation
The jacket uses a multiple zippered ventilation system to help manage airflow as conditions warm up. In Alpinestars’ construction description, the Direct Ventilation System is described with zippered chest intakes and rear exhaust ports, giving the rider a way to tune air movement while staying in the same outer shell.
Included
Included protection comes from CE Level 1 EN1621-1:2012 Alpinestars Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder and elbow protectors. The jacket also has integrated compartments intended for optional chest and back protector upgrades (sold separately), including the option to add a CE Level 2 Alpinestars Nucleon back protector.
Construction
The Andes v3 Drystar Jacket is built with Tech-Air® 5 Ready construction, allowing integration with Alpinestars airbag technology (sold separately). This compatibility is aimed at riders who want to pair an adventure/touring jacket with an airbag system without changing their primary outer layer, while still keeping the jacket’s standard armor and adjustment features.
