Advice & Guides 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 consistently praise the Alpinestars jacket for its comfort, fit, and quality. The leather is described as soft, supple, and flexible with excellent protection features, although some wish a back protector was included. Stretch panels enhance comfort, and the jacket pairs well with compatible trousers. A removable liner offers added warmth. Customers find it stylish, well-made, and durable, with ample pockets. Despite minor zipper tab issues and snug forearms, the overall impression is highly positive.
After seeing this jacket online and ordering in 3 sizes into the Southampton store to try on to get the size perfect size for myself, I'm 6,3 but a thin build and either gears just hangs off me or is too big, but after trying on the I got the 46 and it fits perfectly, I needed another jacket due to my other one being a one piece suit which is just a fav to get on and off for just short rides.
The best part to this jacket Is it for summer and winter and has quilted liner that can be removed in summer as well as great protection in the elbows, shoulders as well as being able to insert a back protector and chest plates and if you really want to fork out some cash you can buy the alpinestars airbag system for the best protection against unwanted accidents.
I also really like the style and colour of this jacket as well as being alpinestars it doesn't break the bank as much as it's competitive brands. But by no less not skimping out on quality, it has two external pockets as wells as zip up sleeves and velcro straps to it tight and the a zip to allow for the addition of leather or other trouser protection. I have only warn the jacket a handful of times so far but it hasn't disappointed me in my winter rides at all, can't wait to rest in summer time as well. All in all a great jacket at a descent price.
Jacket arrived within 2 days, packaged well and item as expected.
Great quality jacket from Alpinestars. Fit is very good over my Tec air5 and very comfortable. Quality service as always from SBS.
Quality is great feels well made the leather is soft and flexible, Fits great and sizing as described, full thermal liner makes jacket useable in colder temps,
Great jacket with some cool styling, very comfortable with and without the removal liner in.
quite lightweight feeling for a leather jacket even with all the amour in and adding a back plate.
Cuffs, pockets & main zip feel good and all have a weather stripping to keep waterproof, inside waterproof pocket for phones etc is a nice touch.
Plenty of internal pockets for phone, keys, wallet etc.
Came with Shoulder and Elbow/ Forearm amour but no back protector so had to put one in from another jacket I had.
Only downside i found was the collar at the zip rubs on my neck a bit but can easily get around that by wearing a snood to prevent this.
Overall great jacket!
Bought to accommodate an airbag vest. Nicely made, fits where it should and I should my airbag deploy, then the expansion panels will allow it to do its job.
Lovely jacket, bought to zip together with my Missile V3 leather trousers.
They are a slightly different shade of black but it's virtually unnoticeable.
Great quality leather and plenty of stretch panels ensures a comfortable fit.
Bought in store and the staff were all extremely helpful and gave really good advice.
A very good customer experience all round.
I tried RST , Dainese , Held and Alpinestars my final choice and the best fit around the shoulders when over the back protector and Techair 5 airbag best.. It also has the best arm width so I can wear my watch underneath my suit, has the best waste adjuster for my body shape and it also has the most pockets , 5 in total which is 3 more than some other jackets … as it's Alpine stars it's premium quality and looks fantastic.
Fantastic Alpinestars quality. The fit is really good. Much more comfortable around the neck than my older Astars model. Good protection and ventilation.
I'm 6ft 3 and 18st I ordered the largest size they do and it fits perfectly great Quality and looks amazing would highly recommend and super fast delivery from the sportsbikeshop I also ordered the trousers to match I had to send them back and get 2 sizes bigger in the waist than my normal size but it was hassle free and received them the following day
Great Jacket, despite being different lines, these match my new V3 Missle leather trousers perfectly,
Im about a 40-42 chest, medium, this fitted perctly
Nice tight fit for me (I'm a 38" chest and ordered a 36). super supple and flexible with the additional stretch panels. Protection feels comfortable and great. I also included an Astars back protector (small) which fits perfect. Really comfortable around the neck, wrists and waist. Internal pocket is also great.
Great protection, but the more flexible sections keep it supremely comfortable on the bike.
The removable liner adds a bit of warmth. With a rainproof jacket over the top it's comfortable enough for me in winter.
It's definitely styled, and armoured, to be a motorcycle jacket for riding. In the proper size it's not going to be that comfortable for walking around town.
Does not come with a back protector. I bought the full size back protector separately. Finding the right size back protector that fits the pocket in your size jacket is a challenge, because the info is hard to find online. Adding back protector doesn't change the size jacket you need.
fantastic alpinestars quality, fits really well and looks great. Should really come with a back protector included for the price
Fantastic jacket. Tried a few from Alpinestars to find a jacket that was comfortable, compatible with my tech-air 5 airbag, and styled perfectly to match the missile v3 leather pants I've paired it with. The jacket ticks all the boxes. It fits really well, feels well made and durable, and has the usual top class styling I expect from Alpinestars. Definitely buy this jacket
Great product, nice fit and great looks it fits me fine apart from bit too snug on my forearms
After much deliberation and research I settled on the Alpinestar GP force jacket. Ordered on a Sunday evening, delivered on Wednesday. Top class service once again from Sportsbike shop. Kept informed at all time during delivery regarding progress. Top quality jacket. Soft supple leather, went one size up, fits perfect. Went for all black which looks very classy, yet understated. Beautiful quality jacket at very competitive price delivered in super quick time, considering I live in Northern Ireland. Can't fault Sportsbikeshop for service, would definitely recommend.
Love alpinestars. Needed to get a slightly bigger one and chose this. Very happy. Good fit. Better colour in real life. Internal insulation is good. Would recommend
