@@realman88cheerleader Thats pretty hot man, I don’t really reckon you would go leather in that heat. I’d look for a textile jacket with lots of ventilation.

[@gsxrfrank8787]

I have the rideknit of this model jacket but I’m definitely going to buy this one as well I tried it on at a local cycle gear and loved the way it fit….

[@ilu51vLRS]

Just had to upgrade/downsize jackets, had this exact one and colour scheme last. Cannot beat that nucleons flex armor. Upgraded to the atem v4 and it comes with the hard armor. Will definitely change the internal armor over to the nucleon flex again. Any1 that is considering the comfort department with this jacket DONT THINK TWICE!.

Does anyone know the difference between the missile and this?

[@troypagan7131]

what about the two piece riding suit? Is it the same jacket with just a hump?

[@RevZilla]

Essentially yes, but they also add the stretch at the lower drop seat of the jacket to connect with the pants similar to the stretch found on most 1-piece suits. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or [e-mail]. Ride safe, Pat

How does this compare to the Dainese Racing 3?

[@Tariq.K]

wanna know too.

[@TimStJohn-xp8rv]

How does the back protector insert attach? I just purchased this jacket and noticed some snaps on the inside of the mesh towards the back on top. Is this where the pad would attach?

[@Treizez34]

So if I was a 54 in the previous version, and my measurements haven't changed, should I consider downsizing to a 52?

[@petervu9773]

whats a good casual leather jacket thats not so aggressive something more relaxed .. thanks in advance

[@RevZilla]

For a casual leather jacket in Alpinestars line, you can't go wrong with checking out the Brera Airflow Jacket. One of our most popular.

[@Justins1877]

What pants did you guys pair with this jacket?

[@Acesmoto]

I just tried this jacket on in a Us46/56euro it fit good, thing is I didn’t count for the added back protector, should I go up a size to have room for me and the back protector? Thanks!

[@RevZilla]

Keep in mind: leather will break in around 10-15% after a month or so of riding. So you should be OK with the 56.

[@alfredlkfambawl1041]

What in the price.?

[@impact0r]

Is this a good cut for tall (6'4", 42" chest), long slim torso? I have Dainese Racing 3 size 104 and would want something at least as long, with maybe a bit more room in chest area. If not that, what else do you propose?

[@RevZilla]

As far as brand comparison's go - almost all Alpinestars sport jackets will be better for taller figures than their Dainese counterparts in the market. Dainese tends to keep the torso length shorter in most of their sport jackets to keep it out of the way of the rider's waist line in the full tuck position. However, for those taller riders that does make it look a bit shorter on their frames. So essentially the TL:DR explanation; yes this will give you a bit more length in the Torso for your height, but only a bit. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or [e-mail]. Ride safe, -Pat

[@impact0r]

​@@RevZilla Thanks for the reply. Size 104 in Dainese is actually size 52 with extra torso and sleeve length for taller riders. Hence, based on what you said, I conclude I should not expect A* 54 to be longer than Dainese 104. What I wonder is if they'd be comparable.

[@alexleier]

Is there a chance you will review the alpinestars caliber ? Thanks

[@RevZilla]

Possibly, although considering we are not able to shoot videos in our studio at the moment, it is hard to say. If you have any other questions or concerns about the Caliber though, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or [e-mail]. Ride safe, -Pat

[@radicalkonrad765]

Could you wear the air 5 with this?

[@RevZilla]

Yes, you'd still need to size it appropriately with the Tech Air 5 underneath, but the GP Plus R line is designed to be compatible.

[@bobbybuffet692]

hi, great video!im having trouble with choosing what size for this jacket. im 5'7, 165lbs, 22 inch long arms,41 inch chest,37 inch waist...the size chart has me all over the place lol what would you suggest?thanks!

[@RevZilla]

You are likely going to be best fit in the size 52 since your chest measurement has you right there and that is the key to a great fitting jacket. The 50 might be a better option for some of your other measurements, but if you can't breath in it than it wouldn't be the best of choices. If the 52 doesn't fit, you may fit better in a Dainese or REV'IT! jacket to best fit your overall sizing.

[@RevZilla]

The old GP Plus R v2 Jacket didn't come with chest protection, it had the pockets to add it which were filled with a foam place holder. This jacket has the same pockets, but new CE regulation makes companies leave the foam out of it on newer models.

[@RevZilla]

Yes, as long as you have enough space under the jacket for the airbag / deployment.

[@windyrun7979]

@@RevZilla So its not designed for Tech Air 5 - will work just like any jacket that happens to be big enough? It looks like same design as the one with Ride Knit fabric that says its designed to work with Tech Air 5 so why isn't this designed to work with Tech Air 5?

[@windyrun7979]

@@RevZilla How do I determine if there is enough space under the jacket tfvor the airbag deployment?

[@RevZilla]

Astars calls out having about 4cm of space at the chest circumference for their measurement. We usually say - if you can wear a thick hoody underneath the jacket comfortably, you should be just fine. The jacket has enough stretch built in for the deployment, but you want some extra space than you usually would when it comes to sizing.

[@windyrun7979]

@@RevZilla Thanks for the update. I'm still confused though since the Tech Air 5 manual I just read says " width of garment when laid flat (B) must be greater than 1/2 of the rider's chest size plus 12 (or A). Specifically: B > 0.5 x A + 12. Is that 12 cm or inches?
