Nice jacket
15 Nov 2025 by Mike
This is definitely race fit so more for a weekend blast rather than a commuter jacket. The quality seems good and fits my plasma airbag underneath with no problems
Style: Black / Red Fluo

Good Jacket

I had a previous version of this jacket but that one wasn't "tech air ready"'and I couldn't fit my tech air 5 on underneath it.
I decided to buy this but went up 1 size despite it being "tech air ready" and I'm glad I did or if wouldn't have fit.
The jacket is the usual alpinestars quality and standard, the styling is nice. The cuffs fit nicely around a pair of gloves to give a non bulky streamlined fit and look. Feels good on the bike, no restrictions and feels secure. It is only A rated and for the price I'd expect more but it's the same with everything now.
Style: Black / White
