Cool jacket
11 February 2024 by Harry F
It's a tight / snug fit, the protection fits perfectly, there's no movement due to the fit. Lots of pockets, main waterproof one can easily take a large phone. & it looks great, there are lots of jackets out there but this one is just cool.

A nice jacket
13 December 2022 by Anonymous
Firstly if you're looking at buying this jacket, go up a size. I'm 6'1" 14.5 stone wide shoulders and I'm normally a L but I went XL and it's a perfect fit. I've considered it might "stretch" with use but I like the fit.
Nice little features at the cuff in the zip and hook and loop closure. I like the neck line, it's a nice height and comfortable.
Plenty of reflective features and some adjustability that helps with fitment. I bought the white and black colour and it's nice and clear and bright and I like the overall style of the jacket. Shame about the lack of back protector hence 4 stars because it this price it should include it.

Great piece of kit, extremely comfortable and it does what it says on the tin, the delivery from sbs well what can I say, the jacket was at my door probably quicker than the money was out my account. I've bought several items from sbs and have never been let down

Alpinestars T-GP R V2 Jacket
12 July 2020 by Rupert P
This jacket is perfect! I've been after a nice Alpinestars jacket for a while now. Great protection in arms and shoulders. But I had to buy the back protector. Great colours and a nice reflective Alpinestars logo on chest. I tried next door to see if they could beat the price of jacket. No harm in trying eh! They was unable to beat price so I just bought it from Sports bike shop! Goes perfect with my bike and has great ventilation too! Nice all round jacket! 2 thumbs up!

Great value and quality!
07 June 2020 by Jas S
During covid i decided to buy a motorcycle. My first one! So i spent hours and hours thinking of what size i needed?! Baffled, i looked at the reviews on this website - everyone recommended a size or two bigger. I usually wear medium t shirts and my chest is about a 40". So i went for the xl. Nervous it arrived and fitted perfectly - i am slightly broad at the shoulders. Quality is awesome very waterproof and warm! Would recommend. Doesnt need to be skin tight either its not leathers. Allow room to a jumper underneath. Hope this helps people as much as the reviews helped me. Ringing the customer service line i was advised perfectly! Thanks for the amazing service and products at a good discount rate!

Great Jacket - Snug, go up a size!
26 May 2020 by Peerapon
Great Jacket. Lovely sports fit and not too short. Rear covers quite low which is great unlike most jackets. Waterproof, caught out on a downpour and remained dry. Jacket does come up quite snug so go up a size. As usual great service from SBS, used their returns service as quick as you expect.

Excellent Mid-range Wp Jacket
10 March 2019 by Garry R
I've always been a big fan of Alpinestars product range but this is the best textile jacket I've owned in a long time. The fit is very snug and had to go up 2 sizes. Jacket is 100% waterproof (held up through some pretty heavy down pours). With the added chest and back protectors this jacket feels very secure. Looks wise this jacket is great and looks much more expensive than it was. As always excellent service from SBS.

I haven't had a chance to test this product properly yet, but I would say that the standard of this product looks and feels awesome, premium material feel, great fit. Order 2 sizes bigger the jacket is a snug fit even at 2 sizes above for me but is very comfortable. As always fantastic service from sbs.
