Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars C-1 Air Textile Jacket
Perfect for hot days.
15 July 2025 by bernard
light and well vented.... perfect for warm weather ride. Shame no back protector is included, but you can ad one in.
Fit well. Would have prefer zip instead of velcro on sleeve, but so far so good.
Style: Blue

Brilliant summer jacket
10 July 2025 by Jay
This works perfectly for me. I have a black Knox mesh jacket, but still get far too hot on that during peak summer weather. This on the other hand, is lighter, doesn’t absorb the heat and has excellent airflow. Also feel there’s enough protection for city commuting.
Style: Silver
