Alpinestars Hyde XT Drystar XF Adventure Jacket Sand / Black
Description
The Hyde XT Drystar®XF Jacket is engineered for heavy off-road and/or dual sport side of the adventure touring category. Featuring an extremely lightweight four-way stretch, single layer waterproof outer shell main construction, the Hyde XT Drystar®XF Jacket is reinforced with ripstop nylon on the external arms and shoulders for high levels of durability.

The advantage of Drystar®XF is that it doesn’t allow any water to penetrate or soak into or through the shell, as the membrane keep the jacket from getting waterlogged and heavy and protects the rider from the elements as well as prevents windchill, all while simultaneously allowing the fabric to breathe. The Hyde XT is adaptable to the climate, with its long direct ventilation ports on each side at the front and back, zippered air scoops on the forearms, and the Super-airflow panel on the front zipper opening which provides lots of ventilation and breathability when the weather gets warm. Internally, the Hyde XT has a detachable armored inner mesh jacket which is zippered in with Nucleon Flex Plus CE Level 1 rated armor. Since the Hyde XT has a heavier focus and potential for off-road riding, the inner mesh jacket is designed to keep the armor close to the rider’s body for ultimate comfort and protection, eliminating any movement restriction linked to the outer shell and armor interaction when muscling a bike off-road. The inner armored mesh jacket is also completely upgradeable to level 2 Nucleon Flex Pro armor and is Tech-Air® Ready to accommodate the Tech-Air® 5 or in the future, the Tech-Air® OFF-ROAD System (when the product becomes available) for the ultimate in
