Great price and airflow
This is a very basic summer jacket (70-100 degrees) that flows has great airflow. However, being a black jacket, it does absorb quite a bit of the sun's heat so anything over 90 and it's pretty brutal unless you are moving along. The armor in the shoulders are also less comfortable than my other alpinestars and dainese jackets.
This jacket gives you the option to install a back and chest protector, which I would definitely recommend. The sleeves also could have been a little longer. I am 5' 9" 150lbs and wear a Medium.

Great summer jacket
I'm 5' 7" 175 medium build and I got the jacket in large. Fits me perfectly. I would definitely recommend this for summer riding or Places like San Diego where the riding is year round!! I miss that place!!

Great light weight around town jacket
I was tired of looking like a superhero when walking around town. This jacket has a very subdued style and the armor doesnt make you look like a football player either. Like all alpinestars gear the sizing is "european" so you need to get a size larger than normal. I do wish the zippers had pull tabs on them to ease using them with gloves on. Also the jacket should have come with a wind blocking layer like most other mesh jackets for early morning or evening rides.
Good: Mellow style that works off the bike. quality Alpinestars construction. fantastic airflow.
Bad: some corner cutting, i.e. no pull tabs on zippers, no wind blocking liner, no back protector.

Looks good
This is a good looking jacket. I hate wearing clothing with tacky logos emblazoned all over it. I am not your waling billboard.
This Alpinestars jacket has almost no branding. There is only a small black on black star logo on the chest.
The mesh is high quality allowing for a lot of chest airflow.
There is a solid material on the outside of your arms and upper shoulders/chest area. This reduces the potential airflow, but it is also the area of your body that would suffer the most damage in an accident and could use more protection.
The armor fits in allt he right places without a large number of straps and buckles.
My wife heartily gave this jacket her fashion approval for the cut and style.

Cool riding
I bought this jacket after sweating through the early days of the July heat wave in the NE. When I'm moving, I've been comfortable with the temperature in the mid- to upper-90's. Humidity is more of an issue than the temperature.
The large fits me fine - I'm 5'10 185. It felt small when I first put it on, but I like the fit now. I wouldn't be able to wear anything substantial beneath it, but shouldn't need to in the summer. It fits well when riding; a little awkward when standing. It provides a lot of protection without looking like an armored jacket. For some reason it has a left-hand zipper which took a little getting used to. Overall I'm very happy with the jacket.

Overall great summer jacket
Only negative is that the zipper is too small and the slider is on the wrong side.

Good warm weather jacket
Jacket looks good and has good protection options. Air flow is very good when you're moving.
Fits small, I recommend you buy one size larger than you would normally.
