Alpinestars Jaws Perforated Leather Jacket

Before I give my review, I want to give my size because I wish someone would have done that for me.

I am 6' 3" 250 lbs, 42in waist.

I'm a bigger guy for sure, so I went with the largest size they had: 64

I've had the jacket for around a month now and I felt it was time that I could give out a review. I chose this jacket because I live in the Mojave desert where the weather in the winter months is often close to freezing and in the summer the temps on average are around 105'. Next time you complain about bad riding weather please keep me in mind. Anyways, I wanted a kickass jacket that fit well, could be an all season jacket, something I could wear everyday, and most importantly protect me if I ever go down. Particularly if I ever go down while going well over the speed limit (that happens when you ride a 1000 cc rocket). This Jacket exceeds all of theses needs.

The Jacket comes from A*'s which in my opinion is the best manufacture in moto gear and a company I am willing to put my life in their hands.

The Jacket is awesome quality, so don't be afraid of the 500$ price tag.

The liner in the jacket is superb, blocks out all the wind except for the middle zipper. You tend to feel any air that slips through the liner when you are ring to work and it's 20 degrees out.

With the liner out, the inside mesh is a bit scratchy but tends to brake in the more you wear it.

THE AIRFLOW IS THE BEST that I have ever worn on a leather jacket. Sure the perf holes let through a mild breeze but if you open the shoulder vent, which act like hood scoops, the jacket is basically a balloon of fresh air if you don't have the waistband tight. The vents are awesome and like I said before the best on a leather jacket.

The protection on this Jacket is pretty good as well. Yes you have shoulder and elbow protectors but I HIGHLY RECOMEND BUYING A NUCLEON BACK PROTECTOR IN.

The reason why I gave this jacket 4 stars instead of 5:

Cons:

-You need to buy a nucleon back protector if you want top notch armor.

-Some of the stitching is semi faulty, tends to be strings here and there.

-From a big guy with a big build and especially broad shoulders, I would recommend getting the next size up because it is a euro fit and lets be honest, If u wanted a tight jacket than get a jacket with a hump for racing. Having room in a Jacket is MUCH more comfortable than having no room.

10/10 will buy again!

I ride early spring through late fall and wanted one jacket that I could wear for all seasons. This jacket is just that, one of the few jackets where you can get a perforated version with a thermal liner. Fit is pretty spot on with size chart. Overall a great quality jacket that is worth the investment for the price.

This was my first motorcycle jacket being that I'm a new rider. I was hesitant to pay that much for a jacket. But I wasn't going to go cheap on safety. So I got it and man am I glad I did. jacket is amazing, I got the red white and black to match my red cbr.it looks great and It feels like it would do well in a slide. Hopefully I'll never find out. It doesn't flow a lot of air specially with the liner, but that's perfect cause I wanna use it for late fall early spring. Come summer I'll get me an air jacket from revzilla. Thanks to Their return policy, fast shipping and great products they've got my business.

I had the original Jaws perf and now the new model. The airflow in the new model is much better than the old as their are more perf holes around the arms in the back which really opens up the airflow quite a bit. If the new one holds up to be as tough as the old one, you'll be happy in its performance if you go down. Mine held up great and saved my skin! My only disappointment with the new model is that it doesn't have the snap for the Nucleon KR-R back protector built in.

S soon as I touched the jacket I noticed the awesome soft leather and it's surprisingly light weight with the new features it fits perfectly! Most jackets feel lil weird at first but the soft leather on this one and the stretch panels make it well worth the extra money you pay. After several jackets I found the one! And thanks to the team at the store in Philly for helping me out!. When I visited Philadelphia I had to stop by! -nashville

This jacket is absolutely killer! Excellent customer service. I returned my original order (size 58). It runs a little small but fits like a glove. You won't be sorry. Alpinestar hit this one out of the park, son. Revzillia knows how to treat customers. I was a first-time shopper, and now I am a lifetime customer. I am 6', 220# and a 60 fit perfect. Hope this helps! Spend the extra $$$ you won't be sorry!

I think this is a sweet jacket and looks awesome wearing it. The only downside is it came pretty tight, I should've ordered a size up for the price I paid because I'm afraid I won't fit into it in the spring. I could've returned it for a different size but it was too sweet looking to not try it out on the road.

The smaller size was very tight through the shoulders and chest, so that I felt almost constricted, and was next to impossible to wear with the liner. The bottom and arms were fine, however. Returned that; Went a size up. This one is the right size through the chest and upper back, but baggy everywhere else. Total rubbish cut. It will probably fit you perfect if you don't work out and have a big beer gut.
