Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars Andes Air Drystar Textile Jacket
Fantastic jacket for hot weather
04 Aug 2026 by JB
Bought this along with the matching trousers and they have been a godsend in the recent heatwave, genuinely cool enough that on some mornings (about 18c) I'm actually shivering and having to put the waterproof liner back in. I've tested it up to 32c and it's held up excellently.
Shed loads of cinch and adjustment points on the arms and waist etc, only downside is rear pocket it a bit awkward to access when wearing
