The Idol Jacket from Alpinestars takes cues from classic bomber jackets with raglan shoulders and ribbed cuffs, hem, and varsity collar. But the material, trim, functionality and details all are fully from the future.

The shell is made with a polyamide material blended into the cotton shell, which makes it both water and asphalt resistant. Water resistant zippers help boost wind and water repellency.

An internal waterproof chest pocket ensures your phone and valuables stay dry even in a deluge. Meanwhile a fixed quilted thermal liner adds valuable warmth for riding deep into the fall, or starting early in the spring. (Or if you live in California—this is your 3-season winter city jacket)

Nucleon Flex Plus shoulder and elbow armor are included, and the jacket can be outfitted with an Alpinestars Nucleon back protector (Level 1 or Level 2; not included) for added insurance against the street. Shoulder and elbows are reinforced with 600D polyester, and the overall feel of the jacket is reassuringly durable.

This is a great jacket for shoulder-season urban riding, and we’re predicting it’ll be hard to keep in stock this fall.
