Alpinestars Missile V3 Ignition Leather Jacket Review 2026

The Missile V3 Ignition Leather Jacket is Alpinestars at the pinnacle of their road-going leather jacket range. Derived directly from MotoGP, it incorporates the highest levels of racing technology available in a road jacket, including a new 7cm slim sport Aero-hump engineered specifically to complement the Alpinestars S-R10 road racing helmet for optimised aerodynamic performance at speed. Premium bovine race leather forms the primary chassis for superior abrasion resistance, and extended technical stretch panels on the chest, upper back, inner arms, armpits, and waist with PU reinforcements on the back panels provide both coverage and freedom of movement.

DFS seamless phantom TPU external shoulder protectors handle friction control alongside Nucleon PLASMA Pro Level 2 armor on the shoulders and elbows — a step up from Level 1 that reflects the jacket’s MotoGP-derived intent. The layered upper arm design delivers an optimised aerodynamic shape. Tech-Air Ready and Tech-Air 7x Compatible allows the most advanced airbag integration available. A detachable thermal liner (80g body/60g sleeves) handles cooler conditions, and localized perforations on the lower front, back, and sleeves manage airflow on warmer days. A waterproof inner compartment, fixed mesh liner, and pant connection zipper complete the practical spec. CE certified to Category II EN17092-3:2020 AA Class.
