Alpinestars Andes V4 Drystar Jacket
Black

The Alpinestars Andes V4 Drystar® Jacket represents the next evolution of one of the most popular adventure-touring jackets on the market. Designed to perform in every climate and across every terrain, it offers the perfect combination of rugged durability, waterproof versatility, and premium comfort. Whether you’re carving through wet mountain passes, tackling dusty off-road trails, or navigating your daily commute, the Andes V4 ensures you’re protected, dry, and comfortable throughout the journey.


Constructed from a highly durable 450-denier poly-fabric reinforced with abrasion-resistant ripstop panels in critical impact zones, the Andes V4 is built to withstand the harshest conditions. Beneath the tough outer shell lies Alpinestars’ proprietary Drystar® waterproof and breathable membrane, providing complete weatherproofing without sacrificing ventilation. The result is a jacket that keeps out rain and wind while allowing internal moisture to escape, maintaining a consistently comfortable microclimate for the rider.


Comfort and climate control are key focuses of the Andes V4’s design. The jacket features a full-sleeve, removable thermal liner that adds warmth during colder rides and can be easily detached when temperatures rise. In warmer weather, direct ventilation is handled by extended zippered intake vents on the chest and efficient exhaust ports at the back, creating effective airflow across the torso. This combination of ventilation and insulation makes the Andes V4 a genuine four-season solution for serious riders.


Ergonomics have been refined with stretch soft-shell inserts on key areas such as the shoulders and elbows, allowing for unrestricted movement in the saddle. Pre-curved sleeves promote a natural riding posture, while multiple adjusters at the waist, forearms, and cuffs ensure a secure, personalised fit. An elongated rear profile adds coverage in a forward-leaning riding position, keeping the elements out even in heavy rain or wind.


Protection is integral to Alpinestars’ DNA, and the Andes V4 reflects that commitment. The jacket comes equipped with CE Level 1 Nucleon Flex Plus armour in the shoulders and elbows, offering flexible yet highly effective impact absorption. It’s also fully compatible with Alpinestars’ Tech-Air® airbag system, providing riders the option to upgrade to industry-leading active protection technology. For additional safety, the jacket features reflective detailing strategically placed for enhanced visibility during night rides or low-light conditions.


Storage has been thoughtfully designed for real-world practicality. Riders benefit from multiple waterproof and water-resistant pockets, including two large front cargo compartments, internal storage for valuables, and a generous rear utility pocket perfect for carrying gloves, maps, or other essentials. A connecting zipper allows easy integration with matching Andes V4 Drystar® pants, creating a seamless full-body touring setup.


Certified to CE Category II EN 17092 A-class standards, the Andes V4 Drystar® jacket meets the latest European safety regulations while maintaining the lightweight flexibility and comfort that adventure riders demand.


Ultimately, the Alpinestars Andes V4 Drystar® Jacket isn’t just another adventure jacket — it’s a reliable companion for riders who refuse to let the weather dictate their rides. Its balance of comfort, protection, and adaptability makes it a perfect choice for long-distance touring, weekend adventures, or year-round commuting. With this fourth-generation design, Alpinestars once again proves why the Andes line remains a benchmark in the world of adventure motorcycling gear.
