Alpinestars AMT-8 Stretch Drystar XF Jacket

A new addition to the AMT (Alpinestars Motion Technology) line, the AMT-8 Stretch Drystar®XF Jacket is engineered to deliver the ultimate level of comfort during long range adventure riding activities. Like the other AMT jackets in the range, the AMT-8 has an ACTIVE fit, ergonomically designed to provide maximum range of motion and freedom of movement, guaranteeing premium comfort and protection, while at the same time offering a high level of ventilation, and breathability. With its strategically positioned hyperflow ventilation ports and its Drystar®XF waterproof stretch liner, the AMT-8 Jacket is designed to provide riders cooling ventilation in the areas that need it most and keep them dry in harsh weather conditions.

  • Highly breathable, 100% stretch performance jacket for unbeatable flexibility and premium rider comfort.
  • ACTIVE touring fit, with pre-curved arms, ergonomic elbows, and a contoured bottom edge for superior rider comfort.
  • Long zippered, ventilation ports on the chest and arms provide a high level of cooling airflow when open, as they act as scoops to capture air from the incoming airstream. The AMT-8 Jacket’s hyperflow venting system provides an increased surface area of air exchange, with the side vents on the chest held open via their internal shock cord retention system.
  • Back exhaust has a shingle design with the back vent always remaining open to exhaust the incoming air from the front ventilation ports, allowing for a constant cross flow of air, with airflow in on the front and out through the back exhaust.
  • The waterproof Drystar®XF stretch liner is highly versatile and may be used as an inner windproof layer if worn under the jacket or as a WP layer to protect from the rain when worn over the jacket. When not in use, the liner can be easily packed up in its built-in bag, and conveniently stored in the AMT-8’s rear utility pocket.

Sizing Information

These jackets are sold in US based “alpha” sizes, so selecting a size is basically pretty easy. The size Medium and XL jackets fit Huey and Dewey, our Fit Check mannequins very nicely! Also, we checked several sizes with a tape. We found the sizing to be comparable to standard men’s clothing sizes. So our primary advice would be to choose the size you normally wear in men’s clothing.

Alpinestars publishes a super-complicated size chart which can be used to pick a size based upon your chest and waist. We’ve condensed their chart down to make it easy to read (see below). You can use this size chart to check your own measurements against the size chart to make sure the size you select will work. Choose a size that is big enough for both your chest and belly.

Jacket Size Chest Range Waist/Belly Range
Small 38 36
Medium 41 39
Large 43 41
XL 46 44
XXL 49 47
XXXL 51 49
XXXXL 53 51
