A new waterproof sporting-style jacket, the Proton is made from a combination of leather and stretch textile which Alpinestars says creates an optimal blend of abrasion resistance, light weight and comfort. The double layer membrane construction keeps water out, while a detachable 100g thermal liner keeps warmth in when needed. Nucleon Flex Pro armour is fitted at the shoulders and elbows, with provision for optional chest and back protectors, and there are GP Lite friction shields externally fitted on the shoulders for added impact protection. Features to improve fit and comfort include a longer-length rear panel to keep the lower back warm when hunched over, strategically-placed stretch panels, and pre-curved sleeves. It comes in black with red logo detailing in sizes S to 4XL, for an SRP of £389.99.
