Racing & Sport Motorcycle Jackets

This collection brings together Alpinestars racing and sport motorcycle jackets designed for aggressive road riding, canyon riding, track days, and performance-focused street use. The range typically includes leather sport jackets, textile sport jackets, airflow-focused summer jackets, and some waterproof or cooler-weather options.

Across the collection, riders can compare jackets by construction, ventilation, weather coverage, and protection package. For broader category browsing, see our leather jackets and textile jackets.

The right choice depends on how and where you ride. Leather racing jackets are generally preferred for a close, sport-focused fit and strong abrasion resistance, while textile sport jackets usually offer lower weight, more airflow options, and greater day-to-day versatility.

If you want a more track-influenced fit, start with leather jackets. If airflow and everyday flexibility matter more, compare the options in textile jackets.

Many racing and sport motorcycle jackets are certified as protective garments under EN 17092. The exact class can vary by style, so the product page is the right place to confirm whether a jacket is rated for the level of protection you want.

Impact protectors are rated separately from the garment. Shoulder and elbow armor typically reference EN 1621-1, while compatible back protectors generally reference EN 1621-2. When comparing jackets, check both the garment certification and the armor specification.

Many jackets in this collection are Tech-Air® Ready, but compatibility is not universal across every style. Some jackets are designed around specific Alpinestars airbag systems, while others are intended for standard protector setups only.

Before ordering, always confirm compatibility on the product page or by using the Tech-Air® compatibility checker. This is the best way to verify whether a jacket supports a particular Tech-Air® system and the space requirements needed for safe deployment.

A racing or sport jacket should fit close to the body so the armor stays correctly positioned at the shoulders and elbows, but it should not restrict movement in the riding position. Sport-focused jackets often feel more pre-curved and snug than touring or urban styles, especially in leather construction.

Use the Alpinestars size chart and measure your chest, waist, and sleeve length before ordering. When trying a jacket on, reach to the bars or simulate a tuck position to check mobility, sleeve length, and armor placement. If you plan to wear a back protector, base layer, or a compatible Tech-Air® system, account for that before selecting your size.
