Alpinestars GP Plus R V3 Rideknit - Rider Review

Real rider review on the fantastic aStars GP Plus Ridenit now in new colourways for 2023. Could this be the answer for the ATGATT (all the gear, all the time) riders who want a full leather suit?

These are solid reviews! I was going to get the Rev'it! Hyperseed 2 Air but now I am ordering this Alpinestars thanks to your reviews.

Thanks for the review

Good review 👍🏼

[@yodomcat]

Thanks! 👍

Great reviews, any comparison to the RevIt Hyperspeed 2? I tried this jacket on and found it very comfortable, but I’m also considering the RevIt and possibly the Alpinestars Fusion.

[@yodomcat]

Hyperspeed in my opinion looks better and has the AAA rating. That said plenty of AA aStars jackets crashing track and doing just fine. The aStars is more comfortable and better at higher temps; BUT if you’re in the UK you might not need that and so you’ll get more flexibility out of the hyperspeed2. Both jackets are excellent choices for summer.

[@nickwhite9319]

@@yodomcat thanks I guess I need to try both on, the V3 ride knit felt very comfortable in the shop, however bit disappointing to only get level 1 armour at this price point (I understand you can swap to the level 2). I am a fair weather rider, and my body 'runs hot' so I really struggle in the heat, so I'm looking to get out of my Alpinestars Atem jacket, as bulletproof as it feels! Basically I'm looking for a unicorn of good protection and airflow, what draws me to the rev it is the level 2 armour and the thermal liner so I can use early and late season. Be great if you could test ride these things. have you tried the Fusion jacket yet?

[@yodomcat]

@@nickwhite9319 I would punt more aStars way in that case as the armour definitely flows better 👍🏻

[@mikealls8938]

Just bought one in the fluo orange, seems to fit well, hopefully as im funny with fit ,but so far so good and will stretch i guess. Stuck in the nucleon back that i have in another A Stars. Good review though, can u do one on the missile pants as they are my next purchase. Also looking at the air 5 vest.

[@yodomcat]

I have the missile V3 trousers. They’re very good and after 20 rides which when they broke in. The venting is good, but not as amazing as you would think for the size of the vents. But I’m very happy regardless.

[@amhrightnow]

Where is the pocket for the back protector? I cant find it for the life of me

[@yodomcat]

Haha I thought that! Look right at the bottom under a flap, trust me it’s there.

[@ozguragacik7162]

I live in Turkey and it gets up to 35-40 degrees Celsius which feels like 45-50 degrees Celsius during some part of summer. Which jacket and trousers would you suggest for this weather conditions?

[@yodomcat]

At that temperature Knox urbane pro all day long! That is if you don’t mind sacrificing a little bit of protection (as nothing beats a leather race suit). Comfort I think should always trump CE rating. There is a review of the Knox on my channel 👍🏻

[@ozguragacik7162]

@@yodomcat Thanks for the quick answer, I will check your review on Knox.

[@Alepic-mb5dh]

Can you attach some leatherpant with a zip on there?

[@yodomcat]

Yup has the full zip to connect to aStars leather pants.

[@crazycrookerr]

This jacket is compatible with their airbag system. Curious if you have the airbag system as well and how it fits? Cause only reason i want a jacket like this is for the airbag feature that I can install

[@yodomcat]

It is, but unfortunately I don’t have the airbag yet.

[@crazycrookerr]

I literally just purchased the jacket today. Gonna get the airbag eventually. Nice video@@yodomcat

[@michal1070]

Hey! Do you think that this jacket could be a good suit for a bike like yamaha tracer, not a sportbike?

[@yodomcat]

I don’t see why not, it doesn’t have a race hump so doesn’t scream MotoGP

[@spinetingler-007]

The sizes offered are very limited. I have a 32" waist and they offer a 31 and 33. The jacket with the 33" waist is too loose and fits someone who is 6' tall and I am 5'9" so it's way too long too. I can't even zip up the one with the 31" waist. Alpinestar makes nothing that even comes to fitting me. Peruse the size chart very carefully.

[@yodomcat]

Can’t say I’ve ever looked at waist measurements when getting a jacket; normally chest. I’m 5,10” and had a size 52 which would usually be a large; they have quite a bit smaller and larger in the range (and other ranges) and you can tighten the waist with the Velcro straps to the side 👍🏻

[@Nosmoke2024]

I can’t find this jacket anywhere. They’re sold out everywhere I look that had them

[@yodomcat]

They’re are a few different colour ways.
