Alpinestars Andes V3 Drystar Textile Jacket - Black / Fluo Yellow

I bought this as a winter waterproof ‘over jacket’ to wear over my leather jacket.
I have a 42” chest and this Alpinestars Andes V3 Drystar Textile Jacket (size XL) with its armour and liner removed, fits nicely over my Goldtop ‘76 cafe racer leather jacket with D30 ghost protection in place.
With its armour and liner fitted, the Alpinestars Andes V3 jacket is a perfect, well fitting ‘stand alone’ waterproof touring jacket.
Highly recommended.

Lovely jacket nice length

Jacket comfortable and easy to wear, even when while touring off the bike. Found to be suitable for wet weather riding.

Early days yet, but 1st impressions are really good. The quality of this jacket is very good, fit is really good too. Only been caught in rain once since purchased but perfectly dry and very comfortable. I would normally buy a XL in T Shirts ect, but after reading other reviews I went for 2XL. Fits perfectly.

As other reviewers have said, size up. I did and very glad I did. Jacket fits really well and there are multiple adjustments and vents. Not ridden in the rain yet but I have high hopes
SBS service outstanding as usual- thanks!!

Thanks Ian in the Harlow store, a total asset to the company.
Attentive, helpful but not pushy.
Sold us the right jacket for the job.

Very warm waterproof jacket. Just be aware of size. I wear XS men size clothes, I bought this jacket in size M ant it fits perfectly. Reviews helped me with size. I love it ?

Well priced clothing , excellent staff , always go out there way to help you .

Came off my bike at 25mph. Had a short slide on the road. While the shoulder with the added abrasion resistance held up perfectly, my outer forearm which was also touring the road gave way really quickly. After such a short slide it got through all layers, to the thermal liner. A few meters more and my skin would've been kissing the road.

I never really paid attention to CE rating until that crash, but now I realise CE A is not even close to being enough, which is what this jacket is.

I’m 6’2 slim build and wear a 44-46 chest. Having previously owned Alpinestars Andes I knew they came up small. So I ordered a xxl in this jacket and the fit is absolutely perfect! Heavyweight, comfortable, quality. Superb fast delivery from SBS as per usual. Hope this sizing review helps potential buyers.

Alpinestars quality just as you'd expect, tried RST but AS has longer arms and a really good fit for me. Only one waterproof pocket but vents are a real bonus.

Tried on in store before buying. Sizing always a problem depending - anything from medium to clear depending on make. Large in Alpinestars a good fit, feels great and looks good. Bought based on other reviews but yet to put to the test as needed new kit for October European trip.

Would highly recommend this jacket it fits like a glove and very warm which is most welcomed at this time of the year. I have recently been caught in the most torrid downpour and was dry as a bone.

Have found the fit comfortable. Plenty of adjustment to tailor fit. Cannot comment on waterproof as have not yet ridden in the rain. Will probably now buy the matching trousers
