Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars Monteira Drystar XF Textile Jacket
Game changer for the summer…
13 July 2023 by Nigel S
Picked this one to replace my 4 year old Alpinestars Andies jacket (now demoted to crap weather only as still warm and keeping out the water)
The wide opening chest vents combined with the arm vents make such a difference to riding in comfort during +20 degrees. Usual comfort, fitting and style add to the package for a mid range jacket.

Description
The Monteira Drystar®XF Jacket has been engineered to ensure that adventure touring riders travel fully protected and in optimal comfort in all climates and weather conditions. With a focus on the jacket's overall practicality, the design team added a new level of detail and ergonomic designs that incorporate intuitive and functional features including closures, vents and pockets, as well as magnetic zippers, magnetic connectors, liner connection, closure systems, wrists and collar to make sure that they were thoughtfully designed with attention to ease of access and the real-life needs of the adventure touring rider. When it comes to the jacket's construction, the multi-season Monteira Drystar®XF Jacket has been engineered to deliver optimal protection, weather performance and comfort.
A new approach in advanced riding all-weather protective apparel, the 2-layer laminated Drystar®XF waterproof membrane provides superior breathability in wet and dry conditions, offering optimal vapour management, and is comfortable, light weight and fast drying. The Monteira Drystar®XF Jacket is laminated to ensure touring riders can enjoy long trips in comfort especially in bad weather conditions and preventing the gear from getting heavy and soggy. Fast drying after the rain, the laminated membrane has opening vents on the outer shell to channel the air directly through the inside of the jacket. The Monteira jacket has a collar closure with an internal strap and an adjustable self-centre snap closure for an optimized fit to allow riders to keep the collar open in warm weather conditions. Ergonomically designed adjustable cuffs and quick wrist closure and regulation system for ease of use with gloved hands. Significant research and development culminated in the creation of the Monteira, a jacket that features top performance, provides exceptional comfort, and offers rugged durability for any ride or adventure.
