A new addition to the AMT (Alpinestars Motion Technology) line, the AMT-8 Stretch Drystar®XF Jacket is engineered to deliver the ultimate level of comfort during long range adventure riding activities. Like the other AMT jackets in the range, the AMT-8 has an ACTIVE fit, ergonomically designed to provide maximum range of motion and freedom of movement, guaranteeing premium comfort and protection, while at the same time offering a high level of ventilation and breathability. With its strategically positioned hyperflow ventilation ports and its Drystar®XF waterproof stretch liner, the AMT-8 Jacket is designed to provide riders cooling ventilation in the areas that need it most and keep them dry in harsh weather conditions.
- Highly breathable, 100% stretch performance jacket for unbeatable flexibility and premium rider comfort.
- ACTIVE touring fit, with pre-curved arms, ergonomic elbows and a contoured bottom edge for superior rider comfort.
- Long zippered, ventilation ports on the chest and arms provide a high level of cooling airflow when open, as they act as scoops to capture air from the incoming airstream. The AMT-8 Jacket?s hyperflow venting system provides an increased surface area of air exchange, with the side vents on the chest held open via their internal shock cord retention system.
- Back exhaust has a shingle design with the back vent always remaining open to exhaust the incoming air from the front ventilation ports, allowing for a constant cross flow of air, with airflow in on the front and out through the back exhaust.
- The waterproof Drystar®XF stretch liner is highly versatile and may be used as an inner windproof layer if worn under the jacket or as a WP layer to protect from the rain when worn over the jacket. When not in use, the liner can be easily packed up in its built-in bag, and conveniently stored in the AMT-8?s rear utility pocket.
- New 3D ergonomic pattern designed for improved flexibility and freedom of movement.
- Featuring pre-curved arms, ergonomic elbows, the AMT-8 has an ACTIVE touring fit, with a shortened, centre front zipper to minimise zipper bowing and a contoured bottom edge for superior comfort when riding on the bike.
- Versatile Drystar®XF stretch liner can be used as an inner windproof layer or an outer waterproof layer, and easily packs into its built-in bag for storage in the rear utility pocket.
- Minimalistic liner for enhanced rider comfort with internal pockets for a divided chest protector and a back protector pocket with 3D mesh channelling for improved breathability and comfort, CE level chest and back protectors are available as an optional accessory.
- New storm collar design with bungie adjuster to prevent water ingress, with integrated chin guard for unbeatable fit and comfort.
- Adjustment on forearms is designed to keep the sleeves adjusted and the protectors securely in place.
- Outdoors-inspired cuffs with slim design offer increased coverage and a good fit with both short and long gloves, wrist regulation provided by hook and loop Hypalon cuff adjusters.
- Drawstring adjustable waist for an optimised fit.
- Waterproof inner pocket for the safe and secure storage of valuables.
- Ergonomic front cargo pockets with a reverse Rally-inspired design allows for fast and comfortable access to the pockets for enhanced utility and practicality.
- Rear utility cargo pocket with double entry and double capacity on lower back ideal for storing the WP Drystar®XF liner (which is self-packable into a small built-in bag for easy storage), and other personal items.
- Zippered waist connector for a secure connection with Alpinestars AMT-8 Drystar®XF Pants.
- Tech-Air® Ready and compatible with Tech-Air® 7x.
- Category II EN 1621-1:2012 Level 2 Nucleon Plasma Pro armour on the shoulders and elbows for effective impact protection.
