rvz.la/3bkl1hR
Race-inspired protection, textile comfort. The Alpinestars T-GP Plus R v3 jacket brings the latest update to Alpinestars’ T-GP line. Featuring a 600D poly shell, shoulder/elbow reinforcements, and GP Lite shoulders with dynamic friction shield. Armor is Nucleon Flex Plus CE Level 1 at the shoulders and elbows. (Optional Nucleon KR-Ci chest and back protectors sold separately.) Additional features include a removable thermal liner, stretch panels, vents, and reflective detailing. Meets CE Category II PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 - A class for protective riding garments.
Will never understand why they make summer jackets 95% black.
Black doesn't show dirt like white does
Mine just came in today. Got the camo. Looks great. Never used a riding jacket so we will see how that goes.
How’s it going so far? How’s the comfort and protection feel?
I just received my v3, the thinner armour in the arms is way more comfortable than the v2. The added stretch fits an athletic body very well.
I dont understand why they make sportbike focused jackest that aren't even AA rated.
Meredith Palmer was wearing pelvic CE-Level 1 armor. If only she sprung for the CE-Level 2, she never would have had that fracture, she really should pay more attention to her safety.
Also that's what she said @ 6:33
Didn’t realize it’s level 1. This thing feels like 0 protection.
That’s what it looks like honestly and I’m a new rider looking for jackets and after seeing the video it looks unprotected af
@@HONEYBOICHAPO I ended up putting in the level 2 armor. The jacket was pretty good. I would wear it with a water vest underneath.
Adding the level 2 and having the best didn’t make it feel bulky?
@@HONEYBOICHAPO no, it felt like it’s suppose to. I think it’s pretty much the same thickness.
In the review you say that Pat is wearing size XL. Looking on the chart there is 54 and 56 for XL? Which of the is the XL? I got similar body type and would be helpful for me
Black/Camo/Red looks fck awesome
Not interested in this jacket, have the regular GP plus R v2 perf, but I clicked to watch for Pat, more product reviews with him please! Most of the time your guys are all fairly small and/or slim. More guys with a lil gut like me please :)
Th... Thank ... Thank you ...?
Does it have compartment to add chest protection?
Yeah, it's designed to take the Nucleon KR-Ci Chest Protector.
That's fucking wack. Less protection all around and they call it an update?
Which is better for hot days? This or alpinestars Viper v2 air
What is the difffrence
The overall cut, design and armor included are the main differences between the Viper and T-GP. Both AIR versions however, will ventilate just about the same on those hotter days. We like the new T-GP Plus R v3 Air Jacket though because of the newer/slimmer armor Alps is using. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or cs@revzilla.com. Ride safe, -Pat
How much ventilation does it offer? Will it function well in 25 degrees Celsius or should I buy the air-version?
Get the Air.
Revzilla - I posted a review of my purchase almost a week ago, and hasnt posted to your site yet? Why's this?
Just bought one today and added nucleon kr - 2i back insert protector level 2
Will a level 2 shoulder pads and arm pads fit into this jacket also?
Yeah I bought this jacket and replaced it with all level 2
Can you insert chest protectors?
@@Dr.SauceBoss yes
How about in the rain?
Its V3 Does it support TechAir???
When the jacket is sized appropriately it can support a Tech-Air vest such as the Tech-Air 5 System.
I just bought this yesterday and it fits amazing and looks great as well……
Which is the jacket that you mention that has a liner for colder months. What is the model of that so I can look it up?
a bit late of a response but probably referring to the T-GP R v2 "drystar" as alpinestar calls them have removable liners..
What would be the pants for this jacket?
Is the non air version waterproof?
Does the camo/red also have mesh on the upper arms?
Does it have a windbreaker?
Inside?
The guy with the jacket on I wouldn't like him babysitting my kids. He looks a bit creepy 😳
5’9 and 175lb, should I go for medium for large. I heard this jacket run small
The biggest factor will be your chest measurement, we find if you line that up, everything else will fall into place nicely based on the size chart.
That said, this jacket does run a bit tight, so if you are between sizes I would suggest the larger option.
I hope that helps!

RevZilla thank you. I order a medium and it fits perfect
what chest size is the 2xl?
This or the GP version?
Is the shoulder and elbow armor removable?
Yes, it just sits in a pocket that you would need to remove. Keep in mind, Alpinestars hides these armor pockets under their mesh liner so you need to go through the zippered hole on the inside of the lower/back of the jacket to access it. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
RevZilla Thank you so much for replying to my comment, this helped alot because I couldn’t find this answer ANYWHERE and trust me I looked everywhere! You guys have a really good support team and that shows from how quick you got back to me. Thank you 💯
Judging from this video alone, this jacket seems like a step backwards from v2.
I agree
I agree as well. Less protection all around
I have V2 Air and I was wondering how to wash the damn thing?!
The washing instruction for each jacket is going to be unique for each material. If you check the tags inside the jacket they should show the washing pictograms specific to your jacket and how to proceed. Outside of that, there is no real harm in a light hand washing with damp cloth or baby shampoo and hanging it to dry if you can't find the specific instructions from Alps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
Great review
Is the Alpinestars T-GP Plus R V3 Air Jacket Tech-Air 5 compatible?
Yes, the Tech Air 5 doesn't need to integrate with the jacket so you can wear whatever riding jacket you would like, including the T-GP Plus R v3 Air. You just need to make sure it has enough room for the deployment to take place from either a sizing perspective, or from the jacket's built in stretch panels.
@@RevZilla what's the difference then between this jacket and the ones that Alpinestars designates as Tech Air Compatible?
@@Uglykidcid808 That indicates that the jacket came out after the Tech Air 5 and has enough stretch built in to factor in the deployment. Its not a requirement for using the TA5 system with a jacket, just a marketing touch point Astars adds in.
@@RevZilla Sweet, you rock, I ❤️ U Revzilla!
