[@artorres13]

I'm 5'10, 155lbs. I wear a 38R coat. The small is PERFECT for me. The armor fits great and the jacket is that perfect snug fit.

[@thesupermoto59]

+Alex T Hi Alex, whats your chest and waist size? Thanks!

[@DanielTojcic]

Appreciate the video! I'm about 220lbs and this is perfect, not everyone is a skinny little ital rider

[@RevZilla]

Awesome! -Hi-Viz Brian

[@djhinormas959]

this is the first video of urs ive ever seen ant stumble with words!! so he is human after all lol love ur work guys :)

[@Death666wish]

The hi-viz version of this looks just awesome, but after seeing the shoulder sliders on the newer one I just can't not have it on my next jacket, yet on the new one the denier is just 450 unlike this one with 450/600 for some reason, and it doesn't come in the same colorway of the black/white/hi-viz. I hope the update on the pro next year makes me fall in love, I just have to have the perfect match of protection and looks! Girls will understand! =D I think I'll wait and see until this jacket is on closeout and let the amount of discount be the decider.

[@samharless293]

I am 6'3 180 pounds chest is about 41 I guessing I should go with a large but would that be to short for me?

[@RevZilla]

***** I definitely recommend a Large. The jacket is designed to run short in the torso for the 3/4 and tuck riding positions. It shouldn't look abnormal. -Hi-Viz Brian

[@TheAusherGuy]

Bow abrasion resistant is this jacket?

[@Kdubbzism]

Love the video reviews! They help me spend money efficiently :P Side note: It would be AWESOME if during these reviews... along with the main demo jacket/helmet/glove etc., show the other colorways on the table or hold them up, or have the demoing person do a 360 in each colorway (edit in) to help show off what the different colors look like then go back to the colorway that the main video will be showcasing. Of course for things like helmets sometimes they each have their own video demoing a graphic. But for a jacket, for example, it'd be nice to see the blue, green, hi viz, and red all in the same video just to get a feel for how each of them come across to the eye. A lot of times I'll search KZbin through multiple videos just to find a demo (from any which vendor, or enthusiast who made their own) just to see what a specific colorway looks like. If you could show them all in the one video, even briefly, it'd be awesome. There is looking at pictures online >> seeing the product in a video >> seeing in person. So without being able to see them in person, the videos are the second best thing, help make the product more tangible IMO. Not sure if anyone else is interested in something like that but I've thought about it numerous times; enough to make mention of it. Thanks again for the great shipping speeds, quality reviews and demos, and superior product lineups available at RevZilla.com JEDI F4i

[@RevZilla]

JEDI F4i Yes! Thank you for the feedback. I'll pass this along to our video team. In the meantime, if you need any pictures shoot us an email at [e-mail]. F4i...great bikes! -Hi-Viz Brian www.revzilla.com/jobs ;-)

Greetings, Hi-Viz Brian So after viewing the demos of the Alpinestars T-GP air jackets, I decided on the Alpinestars T-GP Plus Air Jacket (Order Number 12587802) and am very pleased with the jacket! Looks great, fits great, feels great! However just a couple days after receiving it, i carried too much speed into a corner and went over a median, ending in the ditch in the opposite lane. Fortunately the bio armour in the forearm and shoulder (the main points of impact on my upper body) did their job and really saved me from going to the hospital. (The Icon Airmada helmet I got from you guys also definitely helped in that.) Long story short, my brand new, beautiful black white and hi-viz jacket is tore UP! Is there a place one could send a jacket to have it repaired? Do you know what the manufacturers would recommend? Is there any programs for gear being damaged from a wreck being purchased again for a discounted price? (saw an exhaust manufacturer offer 50% replacement in the event of damage in a crash, or along those lines.) I love the jacket, it saved me and did its job, and would hate to have to throw it away. And refuse to ride without the proper gear on. Any advice or information would be appreciated tremendously!

[@thesupermoto59]

I'm 143lbs (skinny guy). chest 35in, arm 22in, waist 31-32in, hight 68in. I prefer a snug fit and arm length to be short not too short because the A-star SP2 glove pretty much covers a lot already. What size should I go for... (USA 36 or 38)? Thanks!

[@RevZilla]

+Supermoto59 The jacket is sized in small, medium, large, etc., but I feel the size small may be too loose. Therefore, if you want a snug fit, you may want to consider the Dainese Air Crono Mesh or Air-Frame Jackets in size 44 or 46. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-air-crono-mesh-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-air-frame-textile-jacket

[@602Hood]

Yes it makes it hard looking at him to decide how it would fit on a normal framed person. I wear a size 54 in a GP-R leather jacket that fits me more on the snug side. Looking at this guy in a xl makes me think I need a large but I could be getting tricked by his gut. What would you recommend I ordered?

[@RevZilla]

That's a good question. What are your measurements? -Hi-Viz Brian 1. Height 2. Weight 3. Chest 4. Waist 5. Sleeve Length

[@fenrirbeernaert4970]

I own this jacket and I love it. Mine does have some kind of liner (inner jacket) tho, it's just solid, light textile, no mesh. Could this be for the wind/heath? When you open the jacket in the video, the liner isn't there.

[@RevZilla]

That would be a windproof liner for slightly colder days. -DrewZilla

[@scottstrickland1649]

I am a 43.5 chest 5'11" 205lb I got to try on this jacket at a local shop ( they don't have the right color) The Lg fit pretty snug and I could feel the expansion panels pulling as I reached forward. The XL felt good in the chest but I didn't feel any movement in the expansion panels. How tight should these jackets fit?

[@RevZilla]

Scott Strickland It should fit as snug as you're comfortable with. You want a slim fit, but you don't want it to restrict your movement in the riding position. Based on your chest measurement, I think XL would be correct once you also include a back protector like the Alpinestars Nucleon. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-nucleon-back-protector-insert

[@ismailchokhman5545]

I bought the XL but having a hard time figuring out how to access the chest foam protectors that come stock. How do you remove them to replace with bionic chest protectors ? Thx,

[@602Hood]

I'm wondering if this is gonna vent as well as the new jaws. Seems like jaws has more mesh.

[@RevZilla]

The T-Jaws Air has more mesh so theoretically, it should vent better. However, there comes a point where additional vents or mesh panels don't make much of a difference. Overall, I'd say they're both going to flow tons of air. I personally like the extra textile fabric (increased abrasion resistance) on the T-GP Plus R Air. It's a win / win either way. -Hi-Viz Brian

[@rickyticky6111]

What are the big differences between this and the viper? i have a viper right now but am trying to decide if i should switch or not.

[@RevZilla]

The big differences are that the T-GP Plus R Air has accordion-stretch panels on the back, stretch fabric on the arms, and an auto-locking main zipper. Otherwise they're pretty similar. -DrewZilla

[@rickyticky6111]

+RevZilla what about heat wise. which one keeps cooler?

[@adigamzm]

Is this a perfect jacket for Texas heat? if not which on do you recommend?

[@RevZilla]

It is definitely a great option for the heat. -DrewZilla

[@OlivierCR]

I have a question about this jacket. At the bottom of the back piece, right under the place where you insert the Back Protector, there is a removable zipper that surrounds all the jacket around the waist. What is that zipper for? Can you add some sort of back extension attached to that zipper? Or is it to attach protective pants?

[@onegraham]

I think it is for attaching to your jeans/pants, so that they zip together.

[@RevZilla]

It's for zipping the jacket to Alpinestars pants. -DrewZilla

[@PrannoyNair]

I'm a 5'8" 180 lbs.. what size should I go for?

[@RevZilla]

+Prannoy Nair What's your chest size? That's the most important measurement, and with that, we can make a better recommendation for you. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-t-gp-plus-r-air-jacket#size_chart_tab

[@quickid150]

i have a daniese laguna seca evo jacket and i find that it doesn't air flow enough for those hot days especially at low speeds so im looking for a jacket that i can wear and I'm really interested in this T-GP Plus R Air or the Revit GT-R Air, i ordered a Alpinestar jacket from you guys awhile back and for some reason i don't like how that jacket felt even though it was the correct size any suggestions on this?

[@RevZilla]

quickid150 If you like the fit of Dainese, take a look at the Dainese Air-Frame. If you didn't like the fit of the Alpinestars you tried, I don't think this Alpinestars would work for you either. The REV'IT! GT-R Air might be ok, but I think sticking with Dainese may be your best bet! -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-air-frame-textile-jacket

[@ukaszkuczynski3988]

T-GP Plus R or Megaton - with better for CBR954 city ride? btw. sorry for my eng :(

[@RevZilla]

For hot weather, the T-GP Plus R would be better. For all-season riding, the Megaton would be better. -DrewZilla

[@ukaszkuczynski3988]

Thx for u help

[@krupalbhansali]

Could you help me with the washing instructions for this jacket pls ?

[@RevZilla]

Remove the armor from the armor pockets, hand wash cold with NikWax Tech Wash, then hang to dry. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/nikwax-tech-wash

[@debajyotichakraborty3745]

my height is 5.6 chest is 40..what would be my exact size for this jacket? ??

[@RevZilla]

You would be size medium (MD). -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-t-gp-plus-r-air-jacket

[@brandonnixon7105]

What's the difference between this and the T-Jaws?

[@RevZilla]

+Brandon Nixon (Nixon's Tech) The T-GP Plus R Air uses a combination of 450 and 600 denier fabrics, whereas the T-Jaws Air is all 600 denier fabric for slightly more durability. Additionally, the T-Jaws comes with a removable windproof-liner for when it's cooler out. -DrewZilla

[@Rasik663]

HI anthony! im 6'2 chest 39'' arm 25'' should i get a XL or a L?

[@RevZilla]

+Rasik Naik Gaonkar Based on your chest measurement alone, you'd be a size medium. With your height and arm length though, I'd recommend size large (L). XL would be too big. -DrewZilla

[@Rasik663]

+RevZilla Thanks !!

[@bball-cw7co]

+Rasik Naik Gaonkar leave a comment if you order it and how it fits, im about the same size and looking for the same thing

[@Rasik663]

+bball15799 yes sure. I haven't received it yet, I'll leave a comment as soon as I get it.

[@Rasik663]

+bball15799 just received the jacket size : L perfect fit all the protectors sit rite in place ... the arms are longer than u think from the top of the Astar logo on the shoulders till the end of the sleeve its 26.4 inches ..i feel it runs a little short on my wrist.. but a size up would be too loose i feel. overall excellent fitting except for the need of a little more length on the wiest. i guess i have to live with it since i fall in between L and XL . thanks +RevZilla

[@kedartarcar]

Could you guys please help me with sizing? I have a 40.2 inch chest 37 inch waist(around belly button) 34 inch hip I'll also be upgrading to the nucleon kr 2i back protector What size should be fine for me?

[@RevZilla]

I recommend size large (LG). -DrewZilla

[@daniarenas86]
