The Neo Waterproof Hoodie is a complete and practical motorcycle jacket. Especially in an urban setting, this versatile and light softshell motorcycle jacket feels completely at home.
Let’s not jump to the (wrong) conclusion when you read that the exterior is made of softshell: the density of this softshell resembles the fur of a beaver, creating an outer layer that is almost completely windtight. With sufficient stretch and additional wear-resistant inserts, this unit is solid and particularly functional. An integrated waterproof membrane and a removable thermal lining qualify this Neo Waterproof as a motorcycle jacket for fall and oftentimes even winter. Don’t let that be an obstacle for the other end of the spectrum: with two long direct ventilation openings on both sides, temperatures can rise significantly before you even consider putting the Neo Waterproof Hoodie away.
The impact protection of service is made of Nucleon Flex Plus protectors on shoulders and elbows. This motorcycle jacket is Tech-Air® Ready, which means that both the Tech-Air® 5 and the Tech-Air® 3 airbag systems are a viable option. Fitting in Nucleon Flex Pro Ci chest protectors and a Nucleon Plasma back protector (level 2 certified) or Nucleon KR-CELLi back protector (level 1 certified) is no problem either.
Two slash pockets, a chest pocket and an inner pocket provide the storage space you need and maybe even a little more than that because they are pretty spacious. The hood is part of the hoodie but the hood can still be removed just as easily. It once again illustrates the urban versatility of this motorcycle jacket.
In its entirety, it exudes reliability, with solid zips and high-quality push buttons. You can adjust the fit with the drawstring in the waist. At the sleeve ends, Alpinestars went for Velcro. Besides being a stylish choice, the multipurpose Neo Waterproof Hoodie is also comfortably light and a very interesting and versatile motorcycle jacket.
Alpinestars has provided belt loops, since this Neo is probably best combined with good quality motorcycle jeans.
