Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars Faster V2 Leather Jacket
Great jacket
28 July 2021 by Lee A
Awesome jacket. Subtle branding and I think it suits retro and modern bikes.
Vents are good. Jacket feels protective yet soft enough to bend. Leather is subtle and smooth. Smells nice as well. Very happy!

Great Jacket and Amazing Service
19 June 2021 by Chris T
Great jacket, fits very well. Good protection built in and the right mix of leather / non leather for comfort, style and safety.
The airflow zips in the arms are really effective. Neck collar is nice and comfortable. There are 2 inner pockets with room for phone and wallet. The 2 outer pockets are well zipped and waterproof, perfect for keys etc.
I think this jacket is perfect the more normal weather we get for riding, but will be a bit heavy / hot on the really scorching days.
Great service as ever from Sportsbikeshop. Arrived next day as promised, carefully packaged and exactly as described. Fitting was perfect and if it didn't, their returns service is easy and no quibble.
