Alpinestars Leather Jackets

[monthefish]

Anyone got any experience with these?
Seems to be quite a few styles/types - any particular one that's better than the others?

I'm looking for plain black, with the 'connect to trousers' facility. Any other features you think I might need?

the " connect to trousers " facility can be one of 2 things ,

just a little strip of zip at the back sewn into the lining to help keep out the chill.


or a full wrap around zip that will hold the jacket to the trousers in the event of a spill

Try Furygan, or if you are more towards the Power Ranger image, Alen Ness.

No, not really into the power ranger image

I'm thinking along the lines of
Interceptor, Kanan, ATL, Octane, SMK
however, other than slight change in style, I'm fd if I can tell the difference betwen them...

I have an Alpinestars RC-1 jacket, it is by far the best bit of gear i have and i will be buying a set of Alpinestar trousers to go with it.

The jacket I bought has lots of little perforations across the upper chest and onto the arms which is lovely for ventilation in the summer.

Try Ride mag for product tests.
You will be surprised how well some cheaper brands perform.

What size is whatever you've got?

I've got a 44" chest alpinestars TX1, wore it half a dozen times before I realised it was too big so bought a 42. It's plain black and towards the quality end of the Astars range.

Sounds promising - what height/size are you?

PM me if you like, with how much you want for it.

A* is the best gear I have owned for leather stuff, Heiene Gerricke for waterproofs....

Got the GP Star Gloves, SMX4 boots (2 pairs), bat leather trousers, gp jacket, all in black

Great quality but if it's more commuting stuff go with HG - best waterproofs I have owned, customer service was crap for me though so make sure they fit..
