Great jacket
Slightly tight fit but that's because of the tough leather, so it's good protection, hopefully will wear in a bit.

Best Jacket EVER!
I am 6 feet and weigh 220 pounds. I was recently told that I was built like Wolverine. Broad shoulders, barrel chested and big arms. I like to lift Kettlebells... Heavy Kettlebells! I went with a 58 and feel like I have room for add on protection, but its not sloppy without. After I put it on for the first time, I was like... Woah, did they make this just for me?
It's snug, yet roomy and provides the most insane feeling of Ahhhhh when you slide it on. This is some serious quality, and have had friends mention that they didn't know leather could feel like this. When you buy your jacket, you want four things; comfort, Check! fit, Check! protection, Check! and style, Check! speaking of armor... I was a bit disappointed at this price point it is NOT included, but not the end of the world.. it does have forearm, elbow and shoulder protection built in but is removeable.
Quality throughout, the 3d bubble liner is fantastic and the attention to detail is unmatched!
I could go on and on, but instead of you reading this review, click the "order" button and see for yourself.

Alien
Great jacket, features and fit are great. Had to get a 54 because of my shoulders, only thing that I dislike is the forearm size down by the wrists. Wish that it could tapper down a little sharper, using gauntlet gloves makes it a little uncomfortable. But over all feel of the leather is great and comfort levels are what you pay for. Great jacket.

Great Jacket
This is a high quality jacket that offers great protection and looks awesome. I am 5'11", 175# and ordered a size 54. Little large, but I want to be able to put a couple of layers underneath it. Highly recommend all Dainese products!

You get what you pay for... enough said
I will start out by saying that worry came over me spending $700 on a jacket without trying it on. There aren't any shop around me that have a decent selection much less any jackets except for a local ducati dealership (RedlineMotors) but there all ducati branded. The jacket fits like a glove, I'm 6' 225 lbs and purchased a size 58. When opening the box you'll first get a smell of high grade leather which is equal to new corvette seats but a lot thicker leather. The bubble liner inside the jacket is just perfect, everything about the jackets screams high quality protection.

Great overall jacket. Consider it.
Great styling, excellent materials, what else is there?
I bought the perf version, and mine has the cool red collar (black/red/white). It vents air very well. I initially wanted to use it 3-season (Spring, Summer, Fall), but I love it so much, that I wanted to use it during the winter too. So I add a liner, either Gore-tex Performance Shell or a windproof-only one (Windstopper-like), and a down jacket with a thin base layer, and voila, 4-season functionality.
I lost a little weight, wasn't fat to begin with, so now it's about one size too large. But that makes it perfect for layering, bonus!
I have a 42" chest now, but I bought a size 56. It's a bit large, a bit squarish. I probably should be in a 54 but if I wanted a tighter fit maybe a 52. Revzilla(?) says that the 56, 58, and 60 are a more comfortable cut, i.e. beer-belly? Maybe the smaller sizes are more athletic?
I use the thorax pocket as a general pocket. I wish it had a chest pocket. I'm buying a Wave back protecter, but I can't comment on that yet.
I use an Arai XD-3 helmet, but when I do a traffic check, I bang the shoulder area and it limits my view. Either the helmet is too long, or the exposed armor plates are too large, or both. Slight nick for that. It's probably the helmet I chose. The exposed aluminum skid plates are just my style.
Overall, a great jacket. Highly recommended.
The Avro also suits my style. Check it out too.

Awsome looks, fantastic features,excellent fit, perfect color combination
Have been a Dainese fan since d 90's. Had so many of their leather jacket collections. Alien is one heck of a jacket as far as style,fit , comfort and color combination. I'm 5'6 1/2" weighs 143 pounds and wear a 44.Perfect fit !!. Tried it on my Ducati 748 the day i got it, oh ' felt like a dream. Very comfortabe in a race position and perforation worked well at cruising speed.....

This product is the best out of all the Dainese's I've ever had. I wouldn't settle for any brand..
Had so many Dainese's for the last 12 yrs.( 1pc Tatoo in two different colors, 2 pc. Rock in 2 different colors,Classic 200 jackets in 4 different colors,Tatoo jackets in two different colors. Lately i got rid of all of them simply because they don't fit me anymore . I lost 12 pounds. I started looking for a replacement and i saw Alien by Dainese. First i thought i wouldn't like the fit nor the style because sometimes pictures are so misleading. I took d chance and ordered it through Revzilla. I 've never ordered anything this big on line so iwas a little bit nervous. I called them and their customer service was awsome. They knew exactly what they were talking about.I place my order on Monday and got my Red Black Alien d ff. Monday.Tried it on and the fit was incredibly fantastic and d style blew my away. Called Revzilla the ff. day (today) and ordered a Dainese Racing jacket in the same size 44. I was gonna order another Alien in a different color but I thought maybe i'll try a different style.
