ALPINESTARS SMX AIRS, black, 2024, sized 2024. M

The Alpinestars SMX AIR motorcycle jacket is a short sports jacket designed for city and road riding on warm summer days. The construction combines technical mesh with abrasion-resistant 450D polyester fabric, which ensures a high level of breathability. Stretch panels guarantee freedom of movement and an adaptive fit. The jacket is fully compatible with TECH-AIR®5 airbag vests and includes certified shoulder and elbow protectors, making it a safe choice for the summer season.

Materials and construction for summer riding

The jacket is based on a thoughtful combination of materials to ensure optimal airflow and protection. Technical mesh in key areas, such as the torso, inner sleeves, and back, allows heat to be effectively wicked away from the body. The outer sleeves and reinforcements on the torso and shoulders are made of durable 450D polyester fabric, which increases abrasion resistance. Perforations in the chest area further enhance breathability. This design keeps you comfortable even when riding in high summer temperatures.

Advanced rider protection

The safety features of the SMX AIR jacket meet strict standards. It includes CE-certified NUCLEON FLEX PLUS protectors (level 1) that protect the elbows and shoulders. These protectors are removable and their flexibility ensures they do not restrict movement. The shoulder protection is complemented by external Alpinestars DFS lite plastic sliders, which help to distribute impact energy. The jacket is also prepared for NUCLEON series back protectors (level 1 and 2), which can be purchased as an optional accessory.

Comfort and practical customisation

For maximum riding comfort, the jacket is equipped with several practical features. Stretch panels for freedom of movement are located on the back, shoulders, and sides. They ensure the jacket adapts to your position on the motorcycle while providing enough space for a potential airbag vest deployment. The low-profile collar with a microfibre inner side is pleasant to the touch. You can easily adjust the width of the waist and sleeve cuffs using the hook-and-loop straps. For cooler mornings or evenings, you will appreciate the removable windproof liner.
