This is a great jacket with wonderful features. Airflow is very good and the liner does a decent job taking away the chill even though it is not made for really cold riding (okay in 40F weather). I bought a size 52 and ride a 2018 Ducati XDiavel.

The armor is CE1 and made of thick, heavy rubbery compound which is comfortable, but not the best choice. I replaced all armor with CE2 Scorpion SAS-TEC which is way lighter and better protection. The jacket is much lighter now.

Overall, great jacket. I do wish A-Star would reduce the number of "A*" all over the place, LOL.

4 stars due to the heavy, CE1 armor.

It is Very hot and humid in Florida. This jacket does a very good job for flowing air for being Perforated leather. Especially in this Florida HEAT????????????

Thanks to the Revzilla staff for helping me get the right size ordered. I'm 6', 190 lbs, 43-44 chest, and have a bit of a belly. I don't consider myself large, but a size 56 euro fits me perfectly. All my other jackets are 54 euro/44 US, but this one runs small. I tried it on both with the liner in and out, and it was a good sport fit with the liner in. With the liner out, there was a bit more room, but really doesn't cross into a tour fit. The adjusters at the cuff and waist will give me plenty of adjustability. Overall, a great jacket!!

My only gripes about the jacket are just that I always want things for less money. I standard back protector looks like packaging foam, but I upgraded that to the CE2 nucleon that's sold separately.

I also measured in at an exact 38in chest which the size chart puts as an EU48. That one was small enough that it held my arms up. The EU50 almost fit, but the sleeves were still short by about a half inch to an inch and it was tight (but might have broken in?). So I ordered the EU52 and I think it's the perfect size for me. I'm 38" chest, 5'11" and around 140-145lbs. This size can certain accomodate someone with a little more weight to them, but the shoulders, arms, etc. fit perfect in the EU52 -- and it's not like I'm swimming in the jacket either, I just have the two side straps pulled in so they are latched to the back of the velcro adjustment patch.

I love that the wrist zippers are outside the velcro adjustment so that the velcro doesn't have to be removed to unzip the cuff. The full length liner is nice. The waterproof chest pocket is nice. The shoulder vents I'm sure will be nice come summer. The fit for me is great, so the armor's all in the right places. Build quality seems great so far.

Had the jacket for almost a year and loved every minute of it. The removable liner was great to have in the colder months and could just take it out during the summer. Airflow wasn't the best, so it would get hot in a humid environment, but price to pay for leather. Recently had a crash and the jacket did its job. Had the added armor and walked away from a 40mph accident with a separated shoulder. Can definitely say it saved my butt. Would definitely recommend

First, let's talk about sizing. Sorry, I have to use Dainese to compare the size. I have 3 Daineses and 2 Alpinestars jackets. Size 46 in Alpinestars is roughly the same size as 44 in Dainese. In that respect, the Astars runs smaller.

Now that I got that out of the way. I own 6 jackets, and this is my new favorite. I've owned a Dainese leather for nearly 3 years and I am not particularly fond of putting it on, so I was hesitant on buying another leather jacket- but I really wanted to try a perforated one this time, so I bit the bullet. I am in love with the jacket. It isn't constraining as my Dainese EVO leathers. I can look back with no problems. It fits right, and the leather isn't stiff out of the box.

I unfortunately got it in the fall, ride in 50 degree weather, so I cannot speak for the perforated- but with the wind liner, it performs just fine in 50 f degrees. Based on how it feels, I'm sure it will handle 32 f degrees just fine with a base layer and sweater underneath. I really want to see how it feels in summer without the liner and with vents open though.

My only two nitpicks are the front collar v angle seems to go down a bit too low for my liking and the elbow pad placement seems to be the worst I've had of all the jackets I've owned- it sits too far down the sleeve. For those, I knock off one star.

Other than those two things, I feel like this jacket will see the most usage of all 6 of my jackets now. Definitely happy with the purchase.

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!

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!

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

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.
