Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars GP Plus R V3 Leather Jacket
Really good low-profile jacket
22 Oct 2025 by Anonymous
If you want an Alpinestars jacket, but don't want to the whole Power Rangers thing, give this a try. Don't get me wrong, I have some fairly "loud" Astars jackets but for the days you want to fly under the radar, this is the one. Good levels of protection on elbows and shoulders, plus space for a back protector. Good thick hide. Well worth a try.

Good fit

Good jacket. Waterproof inside zip pocket. Comfy, not to bulky or heavy. Wouldn’t recommend for track days as bought with the matching trousers and the zip doesn’t go all the way around. When stretching up, under layers are visible.

Perfect Fitment

I tried on lots of jackets on the day and none of them fitted like GP Plus R V3.
Fits like a glove....
