Leading gear and equipment manufacturer Alpinestars has one of the widest selections of gear for all types of riders. Now that we’re at the tailend of the winter riding season, the brand has launched its latest jacket for the cold months called the Proton. Equipped with thermal lining and touring amenities, the Proton is designed as a winter jacket that you can wear even when spring comes along. Let’s take a closer look.
The Alpinestars Proton jacket is a combination of mesh and leather, and is made out of stretchable polyamide panels and leather inserts. The polyamide fabric offers comfort and range of motion, while the leather panels provide abrasion resistance, as well as a degree of protection against wind chill. The Proton’s weather-proofing capabilities, however, are provided first and foremost by its internal lining that features a two-layer construction.
