Verified Customer Reviews for Alpinestars Headlands Drystar Textile Jacket
Excellent Jacket Excellent value.
10 October 2023 by Anonymous
Wearing 1pc leathers on a sports-bike, I wanted an all round jacket that was compatible with an Air-bag vest. My leathers are 44" chest and I ended up with the AlpineStar Headlands Jacket 2XL, which fits perfectly over my leathers and Air-bag vest. The jacket has a long back and is relatively light and of excellent quality.
Sportsbikeshop customer service have been excellent in helping me get the correct size.

Not great
30 August 2021 by Dom
Jacket looks nice, quality seems ok but 2 major things let it down, 1. There isn't enough room to bend your arms and the armour crashes your elbow, even taking the pads out didn't make much difference. And 2. The front neck line cuts and rubs against your neck. Needs soon flexibility in the elbows and soon soft fabric around the neck.

Good jacket with Techair 5
10 July 2021 by KH
Wanted a short textile jacket to go over Techair 5 airbag, and this is ideal. Techair 5 is L, and went for XL jacket which fits well. Great quality and very comfortable to wear. Only venting is at top of arms, which so far has worked well. Also has kept me dry when caught in rain.
