Frequently asked questions Hide FAQs
Is the AMT-8 Stretch Drystar® XF Jacket waterproof, and how does the removable liner work?
The AMT-8 Stretch Drystar® XF Jacket provides rain protection through its detachable Drystar® XF stretch liner, rated to 15,000 mm waterproofing. The liner can be worn over the jacket as a waterproof outer layer or underneath as a windproof layer.
When not needed, the liner packs into its built-in bag for storage in the jacket’s rear utility pocket. This lets you switch between rain coverage and the breathable stretch shell as conditions change.
How does the AMT-8 Stretch Drystar® XF Jacket ventilate during warm-weather touring?
The AMT-8 uses Hyperflow ventilation with long zippered chest and arm vents that capture incoming air. Internal shock cords hold the side chest vents open, while an always-open, shingle-style rear exhaust allows air to escape for continuous crossflow.
The detachable Drystar® XF liner can be removed and packed away when weather permits, allowing you to use the breathable stretch shell without the additional weather-protection layer.
How should the AMT-8 Stretch Drystar® XF Jacket fit, and which size should I choose?
The AMT-8 has an ACTIVE touring fit with total-stretch construction, pre-curved arms and ergonomic elbows to support movement in the riding position. Forearm adjusters help keep the armor positioned, while the drawstring waist and adjustable cuffs refine the fit.
The Dark Brown/Dark Khaki variant is offered in men’s sizes S–4XL. Compare your measurements with the Alpinestars size guide and check the fit with your intended riding layers, ensuring the shoulder and elbow protectors remain correctly positioned without restricting movement.
What CE rating does the AMT-8 Stretch Drystar® XF Jacket have, and is a back protector included?
The AMT-8 Stretch Drystar® XF Jacket is CE-certified to EN 17092-3:2020, AA Class. It includes Level 2 Nucleon PLASMA Pro shoulder and elbow armor certified to EN 1621-1:2012.
Chest and back protectors are optional accessories, not included. The jacket has internal pockets for a divided chest protector and a zippered back protector pocket with 3D mesh channeling for breathability and comfort.
Can I wear the AMT-8 Stretch Drystar® XF Jacket with Tech-Air® 7x?
Yes. The AMT-8 Stretch Drystar® XF Jacket is Tech-Air® Ready and specifically listed as compatible with the Tech-Air® 7x airbag system. Tech-Air® Ready indicates compatibility; it does not mean an airbag system is included with the jacket.
When choosing your size and setting up the jacket, follow the airbag system’s fit and compatibility instructions to ensure the required deployment space is maintained.
