The Tech-Air® Ready, GP Plus v4 Leather Suit features a blend of Flex Plus Racing bovine leather, A-CS® Tech, Matryx®, HRSF, and GP DFS sliders. The GP Plus v4 Leather Suit provides unrivalled comfort, feel, freedom of movement, and precise fitment.
Features:
- Kangaroo leather construction
- Dual kangaroo leather layers in all the highest abrasion-prone areas like the elbows, forearms, seat, hips, and back
- Features Kevlar® reinforced stretch inserts at the crotch, inner arms, and armpit areas. The bonded Kevlar® Grid provides increased cut, tear, and abrasion resistance, as well as highly reduced heat transfer
- to the rider’s body generated from any friction during a slide on the asphalt.
- Use of Alpinestars Composite Stretch technology, A-CS®Tech. Incorporated throughout the suit, A-CS®Tech is found in the suit’s, side torso, shoulder blades, and upper knee areas, replacing the original
- leather accordion panels. A-CS®Tech material provides increased breathability, comfort, and freedom of
- movement, and offers lower weight and a lower profile than accordion leather (the A-CS®Tech panels are about 9% lighter than leather panels). In addition, the suit has leather accordion panels in the lower back and main flexion zones of the suit.
- A-CS®Tech has about 30% elongation and offers an increase in tear resistance of 248% compared to standard racing stretch fibre and an increase in tear resistance of 570% versus leather. The technologically advanced Racing Absolute v2 Suit offers comparable performance to kangaroo leather, with even higher impact abrasion test results.
- Matryx® material on the lower leg for even further weight reduction and breathability.
- Construction has Schoeller®-protect seam reinforcements at the elbows and knees, GP DFS external sliders on the shoulders, knees, and elbows, all-new race-grade GP-R PRO CE Level 2 shoulder, elbow, forearm, and knee armour, and CE Level 1 Bioflex racing version hip protectors.
