Alternate protection to full riding gear.

I was looking for some way to get away from the normal ADV outfit without sacrifice. As my trails include on and off road, being able move more freely and without overheating is a real bonus. Warm with abrasion resistant overshirt provides a reasonable alternative.

Got this for the missis , she absolutely loves it.
Good to put under textile jacket with removed pads, very much improved ventilation and pads are sitting exactly where they should be. True to size as well. It will do well hopefully on little bikes doing green lanes - which what it was intended for.

Amazing!

I love this. I prefer to have one of these and layer up on colder days. This fits perfectly and is not as heavy as a jacket. Would recommend trying different sizes but they're amazing to wear!

Great value great product

Great for a mix of on road and off road adventures breathe able for them sunny warm summer days.
Large enough to fit an under layer or two to keep warm in low temps and small enough to wear under a top layer for example a waterproof layer.
Over rate the product, good quality, fits well, protects and looks the part

Great piece of kit

I hate riding with a textile or leather jacket so I purchased this to ride with under my hoodie and it does not disappoint, Very comfortable and like how it also keeps you cool at the same time, very good fit would highly recommend this product, again it's Alpinestars doing what they do best.. big thumbs up.

Comfortable and well fitting

This is perfect for what I need this for. It fits well, although, it's best to order a size larger than you normally would to ensure it fits properly.
Plenty of protection and able to wear underneath a jumper/ hoodie.

Really pleased with this jacket
13 Dec 2024 by Conrad A
After a bit of confusion with the slightly random sizing (normally a large in jackets but their XL is a better fit for me) which was sorted out with usual speed and efficiency by Sportsbikeshop, I was really pleased with this protection jacket. Not bad for the price, looks great and fits like the proverbial glove, adapting easily to all your contortions. The mesh should allow a good airflow for cooling and it's got plenty of armour to protect your vulnerable bits.

Excellent protection
22 Oct 2023 by Rosco
I chose this V2 jacket so I can wear any other jumper/jacket over the top of it.
I wear a t-shirt or long sleeve under it.
Im 5'8" 39" chest so got a medium and it fits perfectly.
These need to be a tight fit and I have fallen off my bike while wearing it and the armour did it's job.
I highly recommend this jacket for its excellent design and protection.
