Alpinestars Cape Town Air Drystar Jacket
It’s four o’clock on an August day. You and your bike are in stop-and-go traffic on southbound 101, and it’s a bit hot. Ok, it’s a LOT hot, and there’s a devil inside you that would rather be in a t-shirt than a heavy motorcycle jacket. Don’t give in to the devil, because protecting yourself from the road and other motorists is a must. But do consider the versatile Alpinestars Cape Town Air Drystar Jacket.
You’ll find the Cape Town to be one of the most ventilated, cool, and lightweight jackets available, even compared to some other mesh jackets, and it comes in the unlikely form of a 3/4 length touring jacket. The hip coverage gives safety from the elements that waist cut jackets just don’t give. Further, the Cape Town is armed with CE-rated shoulder and elbow armor and a foam back pad that can be upgraded. But it also has upgradeable chest padding, which also isn’t typical but gives a huge boost to the protective value of this jacket.
The Cape Town can also carry you through other seasons. The removable Drystar waterproof and breathable liner blocks the wind and rain and is lightly insulated for added warmth. When worn over a heated jacket liner or fleece sweater, the Cape Town turns into a highly versatile Fall or Winter jacket. When worn over your t-shirt on a hot summer’s day, it’s cool, comfortable, and extremely lightweight.
