If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
Customers appreciate the Alpinestars jacket for its comfort, warmth, and stylish look. Many mention the fit improves with a size larger than usual. The jacket zips well into compatible trousers and works effectively in cold and wet conditions. Some noted issues include the inner thermal liner riding up and wrist straps being bulky. Overall, the jacket's quality, numerous pockets, and ventilation options received high praise. The addition of back protectors may slightly alter the fit.
I always saw Alpinestars as a bit expensive for my budget, however since discovering SBS, top quality brands are extremely affordable with up to 60% off in their clearance sale!
I now have 2 Alpinestars jackets that anre next level comfort and fit, and their boot fit like a comfy pair of slippers that are built to last!
Thank you SBS…
Comfortable to wear with the liner in or out. Perfectly adequate sleeve length. The pockets are of a good size and include internal and waterproof ones too. I ordered a size up and it fits well. Not restrictive at all like some leather jackets and the included elbow and shoulder protection makes this jacket even better value for money. I would recommend 100%.
First time having AStar gear. I’m glad I went one size up because they come up a size smaller.
Love the fact it has a liner that can come out for those hotter days. Also plenty of pockets for all your little bits.
This is a lovely jacket, fits well and seems well made. The only reason I have deducted a star is because the zips are the fine teeth type and in my experience these are not very strong. My Richa leathers use the big tooth zips and inspire a lot more confidence.
I was after an all rounder at a reasonable price point, with the splash of colour for added visibility. The Alpinestars T-Jaws V3 fits the bill perfectly. Warm enough in deepest winter to wear a single base layer underneath, and with being able to remove the thermal and waterproof layers inside, makes suitable for warmer weather. Only note is go a size larger, I am usually a M in some brands, usually a L in Alpinestars, but for this one had to go with XL as L was a bit too snug and short.
A nice versatile jacket, nicely styled and fits well - definitely size up as recommended. Usually a large and went with XL fits great with enough space for an extra layer if needed. Liner is nice quality, reflective detailing on outer is useful. Feels good quality as expected from Alpinestars.
It looks and the quality was amazing. I am already using alpinestars gloves and boots, which I bought recently purchased from sportsbikeshop. Both products are amazing comfort to use it. I am planning to purchase one riding pants and one agv helmet as soon as possible.
Superb quality and details. Fits and looks more like a leather jacket than a touring one. Nice and flexible too. I'm usually a L/XL and over 6 foot and it fits well. Arm length is right for taller riders.
Only issue. Outside pockets not waterproof
Read all the other reviews on this jacket and agree with most it's a smart looking jacket with comfort that doesn't flap around at speed, but remember if you're going to purchase one go for the next size up to what you normally wear. As to sportsbikeshop probably the best service, second to none
Comfy warm and looks good , I've not used in the rain yet but been great so far
Couldn't have bought a better jacket for my needs
Good jacket
A birthday present for my hubby to replace his over loved Alpinestar jacket - the bar was high but the look and fit leaped over that bar and it's already his NEW over loved Alpinestar jacket….zipped onto his Alpinestar trousers perfectly…he is size M on normal clothes but he always orders the next size up on bike clothes which gives you a bit more room for stretching and adding a few more layers on chilly days.
With my limited time wearing this jacket, it seems to be very good.
It is warm, comfortable, and looks good. It zipped into my Alpinestars leather track pants with no problems. I am 6' tall and about 12 stones, I needed to go for XL.
Overall, this is a very good jacket.
This is the second t-jaws v3 ive bought.its a really nice jacket as you'd expect from alpinestars.
I'm between 2 sizes hence having 2 jackets. There's a fair difference between the sizes, one is slightly too big, and the other is slightly too small.
The removable thermal layer is a pain, as it gets stuck and you have to pull it down so it doesn't ruck up.
Bear in mind with sizing, when you put the back protector in it makes the jacket a touch smaller as well.
Great jacket though, loads of pockets and ventilation zips etc.
I would buy it again with no worries.
Purchased to replace old jacket which was too baggy.
This jacket is comfy and feels secure and does not feel cheap.
Does well keeping the wind / cold out.
Front pockets aren't waterproof and belly and back get wet anyway, likely due to it being a short jacket.
