The Alpinestars Stella Valparaiso V3 Drystar Textile Jacket is the perfect choice for female riders who want to stay comfortable, safe and stylish on their rides. The jacket features an abrasion-resistant multi-fabric shell construction that ensures durability and longevity. It also comes with a removable waterproof and breathable Drystar liner that will keep you dry in any weather condition.

For colder rides, the jacket has a detachable thermal quilted liner that provides extra warmth when needed. Additionally, it comes with CE certified level 2 shoulder and elbow armour that offers superior protection against impacts. There’s even accommodation for chest and back protection if you require it.

The jacket is designed with long-range comfort in mind, featuring an anatomically profiled design that fits perfectly to your body shape. It also has reinforced elbow and shoulder areas for added durability, as well as multiple arm adjusters for optimal comfort.

Other features include two cargo pockets at the front chest area, one large rear pocket, zipped front vents with large rear exhausts for airflow control throughout the garment, vented sleeves for even more ventilation options while riding through warmer climates or during high-intensity activities such as racing or off-road adventures.

There are adjustable waist belts with buckles to ensure a snug fit no matter what size or shape you are – this can be especially useful if you’re thinner or have broader shoulders than most people – combined with quick-collar buckle closure system which allows easy access when putting on/off your helmet without having to remove anything from the collar itself.

You’ll appreciate how soft inner collar helps prevent neck chafing during longer journeys too! The reflective details make sure other road users see you at night-time hours making your journey safer overall! Finally – don’t forget about its removable collar extension – ideal lengthened coverage of neck area during those extra-long trips where wind chill may play a role!
