The Stella Alya Sport Waterproof motorcycle jacket is a softshell with a sporty cut and laminated two-layer waterproof properties. Yet everything stays remarkably light, even with the removable thermal lining at hand.
Obviously, the softshell has a lot to do with that. Every Stella Alya Sport motorbike jacket is composed of 600D poly fabric and a technical stretch softshell. This results in the highest possible combination of wear-resistance, a light weight and plenty of comfort. Included is the intelligently placed stretch fabric and a couple of ventilation openings under the arms to ensure a continued air stream. So don’t forget the integrated, waterproof membrane and remember to consider the removable thermal lining.
The distinct female cut (‘Stella’) ensures a sufficiently centred composition of the unit, to protect the upper body in a very pleasant way. Add the elongated back to cover the typical riding position of the motorbike rider and know that the preformed sleeves and the sporty, low collar create an edgy unit.
There are Level 1 Nucleon Flex Plus protectors on the shoulders and elbows that are so thin and non-hindering that you’ll need to feel twice to convince yourself that they are in fact present. They are. The Tech-Air® 5- or Stella Tech-Air® 3-airbag system is perfectly compatible with this sporty motorbike jacket and lifts the protective level to an even higher degree. If you want to complete the picture, you can integrate the optional Nucleon back protector.
The fact that this total package comes close to an advanced sporty motorbike jacket is highlighted by the presence of the (external) DFS Lite-Dynamic Friction Shield on the shoulders. Regardless of all these assets, the Stella Alya Sport Waterproof motorbike jacket is still a light, urban, pleasant, versatile touring motorbike jacket; not a lap-time crusher on the circuit.
The latter is proven by the presence of two slash pockets (zips) and two chest pockets. An inner pocket (or three, with the thermal lining in) guarantees that there is enough storage space to never have to arrive anywhere empty-handed.
Apart from stylish and comfortably light-weight, the Stella Alya Sport Waterproof motorcycle jacket is also a very interesting and versatile motorbike jacket for all-round use.
