Alpinestars A-Dura Race Jersey - Short Sleeve - Black

Alpinestars A-Dura Race Jersey Short Sleeve – Black

The Alpinestars A-Dura Race Short Sleeve MTB jersey in black pairs a raglan cut built for backpack straps with a knit of 90% recycled polyester and 10% Spandex. Built for trail, all-mountain, enduro and MTB riding — the stretch construction moves with your body, and laser-cut chest perforations keep your torso dry on hot climbs.

Recycled poly/Spandex construction and thermoregulation

The jersey is built from a Jacquard knit of 90% recycled polyester and 10% Spandex. This combination gives the fabric a low weight and high elasticity that moves freely with your body on the bike. The material wicks sweat away from the skin and spreads it across the outer surface, where it evaporates quickly. Using recycled fibers reduces environmental impact without compromising the fabric's technical performance or durability.

Laser-cut perforation and vented Closed Mesh Knit

To keep body temperature stable on exposed climbs, the jersey uses a Closed Mesh Knit — a densely knitted mesh that provides strong airflow while staying resistant to abrasion and snagging on trailside branches. The chest is finished with precisely placed laser-cut perforations that direct airflow straight to the skin while riding, keeping you cool during the hottest summer sessions.

Raglan sleeve ergonomics and an armor-friendly cut

The A-Dura Race cut draws on Alpinestars' years of World Cup racing experience. Raglan sleeves move the shoulder seams away from the top of the shoulder, removing chafing from backpack or hydration pack straps. The extended Drop Tail back keeps the jersey in place and covers your lower back even in an aggressive downhill stance. The looser Regular Fit cut lets you pull the jersey over a lightweight protective vest (such as the Alpinestars Paragon Lite or A-Motion / A-Impact Plasma range) without restriction.

FAQ

Will body armor fit under the A-Dura Race jersey?

Yes. The jersey is cut in a comfortable Regular Fit and the fabric contains 10% elastic Spandex, so it stretches enough to fit over a lightweight protective vest or shirt (such as the Alpinestars Paragon Lite or A-Motion Plasma). If you plan to wear a bulkier or plastic chest/back protector, consider sizing up.

How do I care for the jersey without losing its performance?

Wash on a gentle sportswear cycle at up to 30°C. Never use fabric softener — it clogs the polyester's microfibers and permanently reduces moisture-wicking and breathability. Don't tumble dry or iron; the fabric air-dries quickly on a hanger.
