The successor and second version of the Alpinestars T-SPS Air ventilated motorcycle jacket is simply named the Alpinestars T-SPS Air V2. This technically well-crafted summer motorcycle jacket is designed for summer.
T-SPS still stands for ‘textile-sport’ and it shows. This lightweight ventilated motorcycle jacket has a distinctly sporty style and a design inspired by motorcycle racing. However, don’t be misled – the T-SPS Air V2 is more versatile than it appears. Strategically placed ventilation openings and large mesh panels on the chest, back, and arms ensure an optimal airflow in all conditions.
The T-SPS Air V2 is constructed using 600D fabric to create an wear and tear-resistant outer shell. The back is slightly extended to provide better coverage of the lower back when seated in a typical riding position.
Wear-resistant 600D fabric is a solid foundation, which is why Alpinestars has reinforced the elbows and shoulders with an additional internal layer of 600 Denier material. You can never have too much durability, and this design results in a stylish yet still lightweight motorcycle jacket. The extensive mesh panelling plays a big role in keeping it light while ensuring constant airflow through large panels on the chest, back, and arms, complemented by perforations in other areas.
There aren’t many individual adjustment options. The sporty fit is the focus, with only minor adjustability at the waist and sleeve ends.
Alpinestars’ own Level 1 Nucleon Flex Plus protectors on the shoulders and elbows provide solid impact protection. In this version, they are flexible and soft, significantly enhancing comfort. Additionally, the Alpinestars T-SPS Air V2 motorcycle jacket is Tech-Air Ready, allowing for the integration of an airbag jacket. This is optional, as is the choice to add an optional Nucleon Plasma Level 2 back protector or Nucleon KR-CELLi Level 1 back protector.
Two zippered slash pockets and a couple of internal pockets provide ample storage. The reflective elements blend seamlessly into the design during the day.
The Alpinestars T-SPS Air V2 ventilated motorcycle jacket also features connection loops, allowing it to be securely attached to motorcycle jeans.
