Alpinestars Andes V3 Drystar Textile Jacket - Forest Military Green

Good quality jacket, stylish and functional with removable winter liner.

Jacket is very lightweight and comfortable, reasonably priced, doesn’t come with back protection and standard armour is only A rated, other than that the jacket is perfect for me.

Great jacket that is comfortable to wear, has plenty of pockets and above all the protection that you need. It is also quite light and comes with a detachable inner liner. Only downside of this jacket is that it is not easy to swap out the elbow protection. All in all very good textile jacket

Love it but had to order XL as L tight. Warm and keeps the wind out.

Comfortable, adjustable and excellent water proofing. My favourite jacket brand.

I went for the next size up in order to fit a fleece underneath during the winter. It is big and probably could have had a large but knowing Alpinestar I didn't want to take the risk.

A bit light on the armour and the jacket feels thinner than my Rst but combined with the nucleon back protector this is a great jacket. Yet to test in the rain but as an all year commuter it's been great for winter

This looks and feels like an Alpinestars jacket should. Not tested in rain conditions yet, but very comfortable and warm. I had to choose the next size up to get the right fit

I needed a new textile jacket and this fits perfectly and is warm. Its well made and looks good.

Comfortable true to size jacket. With very fat delivery .

Pockets are good and the overlap on the main zip keeps the wind and water out
Used for 3 hours in heavy rain and stayed nice and dry but started to feel a bit of cold when the temperature dropped under 7 degrees

Great service & delivery, exceeding my expections. Split delivery of multiple items but everything arrived ahead of schedule.. Really pleased.

I love this jacket, which I bought to replace my old Andes V2 when the main zip broke after many years' use. It looks great and the darker colours should hide the road grime and insect marks that have made my previous light grey V2 look a bit mucky at times. SportsBikeShop Harlow provided both my normal M size and an L for me to try and, like other reviewers, I found going up a size was a much better fit for me this time. The Alpinestars quality and style is outstanding as usual and the range of adjustment and number and size of pockets is superb. The SportsBikeShop service at Harlow was really great, as always, with the lovely young lady who served me arranging for a brand new jacket to be sent to me from the warehouse after I noticed a couple of minor things on the L jacket in stock (I was being a bit fussy!). That arrived promptly the next day and after my first ride in the new jacket I am very happy with the improved warmth compared with the Alpinestars ST-1 jacket I used recently. It's good to know, from experience with the V2, that the zipped vents also work well to provide cooling in the Summer. I am delighted with the Andes V3, especially after benefitting from the SportsBikeShop Black Friday offer which made the price even better than usual there for such a good jacket. Thank you SportsBikeShop!

Excellent jacket and service from SBS

Considering the cost of this jacket you would expect to be paying a considerable premium for the comfort level. I found this jacket warm, windproof, waterproof & movable with zero restrictions. The jacket size was larger than my normal size yet it did not swamp me or feel over baggy with substantial adjustment at the waist and arms if needed, fits like a glove. The body armour is not immediately obvious or annoying when pressed against your elbows unlike some jackets I tried on at a similar price point. The pockets are easily accessible when needed. The fit at the neck for me was perfect with enough clearance to allow head movement without clashing with the collar yet at the same time protecting me from the wind. The included liner is easy to remove and refit also.
All in all a fantastic jacket. Great service from the lads in the Glasgow branch.

The jacket was an upgrade from a RST pro jacket, its so much better made. The zip feels sturdy, all the velcro is super strong and the inner warm lining has kept me nice and toasty. Would highly recommend, especially if its on sale! Pairs well with trousers and both have kept me warm and dry on 100+ mile wet rides, the wrists on the jacket are big enough to go over my large winter gloves but adjust small enough to also work with my smaller summer gloves too.
Sportsbikeshop always perform well and 5* to them too!
