A HYBRID SPORT JACKET.

This is the newer version of the same name, so whats changed? Not much, but in a good way. The material has been updated and is more supple out of the box. Very little break-in time is needed and it'll conform to your body over time. The venting provided by the perforated holes are not the little laser-cut holes you see on a lot of high-end jackets these days; these are legitimate holes punched into the leather which means venting is excellent even at low speeds. The stretch fabric under the arms and along the sides of the jacket is updated with a more durable moisture wicking material that's breathable. It's reminiscent of what you would find on an arcteryx soft-shell jacket, very durable stuff.The fit is generous but not loose. This has a lot to do with the fact ... MoreThis is the newer version of the same name, so whats changed? Not much, but in a good way. The material has been updated and is more supple out of the box.

The stretch fabric under the arms and along the sides of the jacket is updated with a more durable moisture wicking material that's breathable. It's reminiscent of what you would find on an arcteryx soft-shell jacket, very durable stuff.The fit is generous but not loose. This has a lot to do with the fact that they've strategically placed that stretchy soft-shell fabric at stress points where you'll be reaching for the bars or positioning into a tuck.One of the nice upgrades to this jacket that will undoubtedly go unnoticed by novice bikers is the interior. Alpinestars is starting to use this silky double layered mesh with a floating backer. WHAT THIS MEANS is that it's constructed very similarly to what you would find in a well tailored suit coat. Believe me when I say this, it is something not seen in any other high-end jacket right now and I believe it will become the next marketing point for many brands moving into the future. This floating backer allows the jacket to maintain its shape around the user over time, conforming to a custom fit. So, not only will the leather conform to your shape, but jacket interior will follow those contours which means the entire system overall will last many years longer without pinched spots of fabric loosing strength or stitch. Make sense?CONS: Weight. One of the drawbacks of the new liner is the added overall weight to the jacket. It's not more than what you'll find anywhere else; it's just a personal gripe. However keep this in mind, the weight is a sign that the manufacturer is mindful of the cut of leather used to create the jacket. No doubt, they're using a high grade leather of even thickness throughout.OVERALL SHORT STORY: It's worth the money invested, will keep you cool and vented at low and high speed, it will last decades with minimal care (it's chrome tanned leather, and honestly doesn't need anything). I would classify this is an All Around jacket for Sport, Naked, Touring and Fast Cruising.Fit is inline with the sizing chart with a HYBRID cut. Sport fit in the shoulders and arms, Relaxed fit in the torso.

Excellent Alpinestars Model

They hit a home run with this one. The sleeve zippers are perfect with no extra Velcro or flaps in the way?. Just a simple tough zipper. The air flow is exceptional. Use a base wind stopper under 60 degrees or so. This is a great CA jacket. Build quality is perfect too; stitching, colors, leather, it all looks and feels great. Sizing?. I am 6'1" 210 lbs athletic and a 56 was perfect. Chart might have suggested 54, but a 56 is plenty snug, nothing flapping.

Excellent product!

Purchased this product about a week ago, I am ?6,?3 240lbs, fits perfectly with plenty of room, but not too much. definitely much cooler than any other jacket considering I?m a Texas rider, but I believe you can also block off the perforated areas for cold weather. Protection is out of this world and it?s got convenient pockets inside and outside with areas to install back protection, way better than any other jacket I?ve gotten a chance to mess with. only thing I would recommend is definitely measure yourself according to size chart or have someone measure you before you purchase any of these jackets and it?ll come out great!!

Great jacket

I love it! Fits great and great looking. Would definitely recommend it. The only downside is I wish it had level 2 armor.

Great quality and good fit

This is my first Alpinestars jacket and so far I’m impressed with the quality and fit. The sizing chart recommended a size 54 based on my chest and arms but a 58 for my stomach measurement, I went with the 54 and everything fits good. At that size it’s snug but not uncomfortably so, nothing feels tight anywhere just secure like a well fitted glove. I wear an under armour compression shirt underneath and it makes it easier to take on and off especially after riding on a hotter day. Airflow is good not mesh jacket good but it definitely lets the air flow through. The air flows through the body well but not really on the arms I noticed they get pretty warm when it’s hot out. So far it feels good for anything except maybe the hottest part of summer or coldest of winter. ... MoreThis is my first Alpinestars jacket and so far I’m impressed with the quality and fit.

So far it feels good for anything except maybe the hottest part of summer or coldest of winter. I’ve ridden up to about 86 degrees and felt pretty comfortable. I’d say over 90 degrees I’d probably switch to mesh personally. Armor in the elbows and shoulders are comfortable and fit great.

Great quality jacket.

Fits well, more comfortable than previous jacket. Wish the collar protected the neck a little higher but overall great jacket. I don't know if I left room for the air vest if I want it though, maybe go up a size if that's the plan. Wish the back plate came with it, but glad it's an add on option.

Perfect daily jacket!

The jacket is awesome I love it and daily wear it. The pockets are very large and can easily fit my S23 Ultra phone 2 times the size. It has a neat little inside chest pocket which is rather large and could also fit my phone. It does come with ce rated Alpinestars flex protection in shoulder and elbows which is very free moving and protective, it has slots for chest and back protectors however does not come with it. Pair this jacket with the Alpinestars missle v3 pants and it's a perfect set. I would highly recommend this jacket for anyone who wants the protection, looks, and large pockets.

Perfect fit over Tech Air 5 vest

Absolutely love this jacket. I wanted something that comfortably fit over the tech air 5 vest and this does exactly that. Thick leather, great ventilation, looks sleek?all in all just outstanding quality. Highly recommend!

Worth every penny.

Alpinestar has always been my favorite brand and I always wondered if it was worth close to 500 dollars for just a jacket. It is 1000%. Low sided and landed on going about 45 MPH and slid 40-50 feet. other than some surface level scratches on the shoulder and minor scratches on the back, it held up like a champ. Will still be wearing this on the daily. Kachow!
