MTB Jackets & Vests

This collection features a range of MTB jackets designed for different riding conditions and weather scenarios. You'll find lightweight trail jackets with breathable fabrics for warmer conditions, insulated options for cold-weather riding, and waterproof shells for wet terrain. Each jacket incorporates technical materials and ergonomic cuts optimized for the dynamic movements of mountain biking, with features like extended rear coverage, articulated sleeves, and ventilation systems to regulate body temperature during intense rides.

Yes, the jackets in this collection are designed to accommodate body armor and protective equipment. Most styles feature a cut that allows layering over MTB protection such as chest protectors, back protectors, and elbow guards without restricting movement. The ergonomic design ensures proper fit whether worn alone or over protective layers, maintaining both comfort and safety during aggressive trail riding and downhill descents.

To maintain the technical performance of your MTB jacket, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can damage the water-repellent treatments and breathable membranes. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat if the care label permits. For jackets with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coatings, periodic reapplication of water-repellent spray will help restore weather protection after multiple washes.

The collection covers the full spectrum of mountain biking weather conditions. Lightweight, breathable jackets with ventilation panels are ideal for spring and summer trail riding, while insulated models provide warmth for autumn and winter sessions. Waterproof and water-resistant options feature sealed seams and storm flaps to keep you dry during wet rides. Many jackets incorporate packable designs that compress into jersey pockets or hydration packs, allowing you to adapt quickly to changing mountain weather conditions.

Alpinestars MTB jackets are specifically engineered for the unique demands of off-road cycling, drawing from decades of motorsports protection expertise. Unlike standard cycling jackets, these feature MTB-specific cuts with extended rear coverage for riding position, reinforced high-wear zones for durability against trail debris, and strategic ventilation systems designed for variable-intensity riding. The integration of advanced technical fabrics, superior abrasion resistance, and compatibility with protective armor reflects Alpinestars' racing heritage adapted for mountain bike performance and safety.
