Great Riding Jacket
I bought this looking for a new jacket with a more track focused style. The jacket looks great and it feels very well put together. When riding the jacket is most comfortable in an arms bent, chest close to the tank, racing body position. I upgraded the chest and back armor, and both feel great, not intrusive. I am very happy I bought this jacket, makes me feel very solid when riding and riding hard.

My new favorite jacket
This jacket has quickly become my favorite riding jacket! While offering great protection and having the options to increase protection levels if your looking protection this is top notch. As far as air flow goes this jacket breaths! While riding at highway speeds with vents closed at 60 ferinhite I was cold. After having the beginning of summer hit I was able to take this jacket out at 90 ferinhite and found it very nice at speed as with all jackets red lights are rough as far as heat goes but with the air flow the celer jacket provides it is very comfortable at speeds above 30 or 40 mph. Styling of this jacket is great it offers the race for while being very nice on the eyes! All buyers looking at this jacket get a measuring tape and measure yourself with the chart revzilla offers for alpinestar jackets it fits very true to that chart! Over all I give this jacket a 5 star rating with all features in mind this jacket offers you everything that a street or track rider would want! You will not be disappointed with this jacket!

Great jacket
I have been waiting so long for the red celer to come out and ordered it the day Rev got it in. Received it today and took it out for a ride. Great fit, very comfortable. Big improvement from my GP Plus. Softer leather, fixed the zippers so that I can actually open them. I can't even notice the hump when riding. One thing about the red celer though is that the color shown here is slightly different from the actual jacket. Look below for a more accurate photo. Overall very satisfied.

Great jacket - too pricey for design features
Let me start off by saying that this jacket looks amazing and it feels great. I'm definitely pleased with the armor protection as well. I feel confident that it will hold up well in the event of an accident. Although I clicked that I recommend the jacket, it's very close to the edge so read on and make your own decision.
As for the cons: the prices on the higher level sportbike gear(aStars, Dianese, RS Taichi, etc) is, in my opinion, outpacing most customers' purchasing power. This jacket was given to me as a gift but i would never pay this price knowing what i know now. aStars definitely cut some corners in the design - several important jacket features are similar to those commonly found in jackets of lower quality, not what you expect when you pay for an aStars product. The mesh liner seems to move around too loosely and needs more anchor points within the leather shell of the jacket. Also, the pockets are closed with short Velcro strips that don't cover all the way across the opening of the pocket. So you place items into the loose liner pocket that SHOULD be zippered and hope that none of my stuff falls out. Another issue: the liner contains a pocket that holds the back protector in place but this pocket too is only secured by a few short and poorly placed strips of Velcro. After wearing the jacket a couple of times, the Velcro came loose and the back protector moved out of position.

Alpinestars Celer Leather Jacket Review
Overall the jacket exceeded my expectations like usual, especially when purchasing from Alpinestars product line. Owned another Alpinestars jacket, with the same size and was surprised that the jacket was smaller when I put it on and even after breaking it in, but realized that the back hump caused the jacket to feel smaller. Material is thin enough to wear during hot, summer days, especially in the high desert regions of Arizona, but with the great protection that Alpinestars has. Great airflow and does keep you fairly cool.
Funny part about the jacket was the zipper that closes the chest area is flipped compared to the standard zippers that I am used to on all the clothing I buy.
Only downside I do not like about the jacket is that because it is smaller because of the hump, I can't wear a thin hoody underneath during the colder days and nights.
The protection that you get from the padding for the shoulders and elbows are excellent. Enough room where the elbows and shoulders fit firmly and comfortably. The jacket has a reflective patch in certain areas, but I highly doubt that it will be enough for other motorists to see it.
The price is a little excessive in my opinion, but you do get amazing quality and the sense of security with the perfect amount protection Alpinestars has to offer to their customers when riding spirited and city.

Superior protection along with comfort!
Have not had a chance to ride in this jacket yet but I can't imagine there will be any issues. Quality, style, and comfort is unreal! I have a muscular build with a 45" chest and size 58 fits perfect. And agian Revzilla delivers without any issues. Thanks guys..
