Alpinestars Viper V2 Air Textile Jacket | Sportbike Track Gear

[@derp086]

Thanks for posting such a thorough video! I actually bought this jacket and was on the verge of calling Alpinestars to try and get an answer on HOW exactly to install the chest armor. I couldn’t figure it out. Thanks again for such a detailed breakdown; you helped me to not regret my purchase.

Same here.

DUDE I GAVE UP UNTIL THIS POPPED UP ON MY FEED

[@Funnybones498]

Just won this on an auction, brand new for $54. Video made me feel happy with my purchase

[@sportbiketrackgear]

That is an excellent buy! Enjoy your new jacket. - Van

[@ah64aviator1]

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Well done. I went with this jacket and I'm glad that I did. Your video also helped me find the "secret" pockets in the front for the chest protectors. Thanks!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van

[@mylesdonovan9068]

The white and black looks so clean, definitely gonna cop this

[@sportbiketrackgear]

A good looking jacket sold at a fair price. - Van

[@chunkeypuff]

Thx, great video. Best regards from Poland

Thank you for watching! - Van

[@jasonshort95]

Really informative video, thanks. How would you say this compares to the Alpinestars T-GP Plus R v2 Air that you previously reviewed? I understand the Viper features more mesh, but did you have a preference in terms of feel / airflow?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This jacket will flow a ton of air and fits well. I would say the biggest difference is the materials used in the T-GP Plus R v2 feel a little more high end. Not that those used for the Viper are bad, just the others have a nicer feel and the jacket is a little more mobile. - Van

[@vandorenkd]

great video was looking to get one and this video gave me all I needed to know.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Happy to hear it was helpful. - Van

[@ALWAYSBUILTNEVERBOUGHT]

Hey guys thanks for the great review. I do have an off question hows is this jacket on the rain?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This jacket is not waterproof. That said this jacket will not be damaged in any way if you get caught in the rain. In a light rain it will block some of it from coming in at best. - Van

[@ALWAYSBUILTNEVERBOUGHT]

@@sportbiketrackgear thank you for that information. Got a new subscriber 👍👍

[@subhashjo]

Thank you for this video; really detailed. Would you recommend this over the Alpinestars T-GP Plus R V3 Air Jacket?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This is a nice jacket but I prefer the other one you mentioned. That one is on my list of favorites. - Van

[@DO-dd1yb]

Hi there, I am 6 ft 1, 180lbs, size 42 chest, 32/33 waist and in normal clothing I wear Medium. What size would you recommend for the viper with the back/chest protector installed? Thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would go with the medium to get a close fit or a large if you prefer a fit like I get from the XL in the video. - Van

[@BIKELIFEANTONIO]

Hi order this jacket size medium I'm 511 and weight 175 you think I'm good? I went to try the v3 jacket at the store and I was good with a medium

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Sounds like the medium is the way to go for you. These jackets fit very similar. - Van

[@BIKELIFEANTONIO]

@@sportbiketrackgear ok thank you for replying to me I appreciate it 👍

[@felixcatacutan2171]

Hi STG, can this be paired and attached to hyper/gravity drystar pants? Hope to hear your feedback. Thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Yes you can pair this with any of the Astars textile pants. Sorry for the slow response, we were wrapping up the last couple rounds of the MotoAmerica season. - Van

[@greysonwyly8780]

Thx now I can get my armor out to wash it

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You are welcome, happy to help out. - Van

[@jhoffa45]

Which would you recommend, the T-Jaws Air or the Viper Air?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Both jackets are excellent, go with the one you prefer the look of most. - Van

[@jhoffa45]

@@sportbiketrackgear thanks!

[@ItsTeeko_]

Hey i bought this product a few days ago and i wanted to ask some questions, when wearing the jacket (1. it feels a bit to snug on the chest/torso especially when zipping up, 2 when i lift my arms the jackets raises up to my belly button) is that fine or do you think i should return this one and buy a bigger sized one

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This really depends on how you like for your jackets to fit. If you prefer a tight fit then you are good to go. Now if you prefer a little more operating room you should go with one size larger. - Van

[@LuisAlfredo90]

R u fat? That's my problem I noticed lol.

[@ItsTeeko_]

@@LuisAlfredo90 yaa broo im definitely on the bigger side but i tried moving up a size but shi was too big

[@vripiatbuzoi9188]

Will there be a V3 of this with the softer new pads of the T-GP Plus?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would expect this jacket to get updated or replaced with one that uses the new armor. - Van

[@NM-tk4kc]

How to insert chest protectors on this jacket. I couldn’t find the inlet for that.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We show you this in the video. You have to unzip the back protector pocket, reach inside the jacket and find the chest insert pocket at the front of the coat. - Van

[@NM-tk4kc]

@@sportbiketrackgear yes.. found it. Thanks for guidance

[@Mr_AfricaTwin]

What kind of inserts do I get without the upgrades

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This jacket comes with CE Armor in the elbows and shoulders. It also has pockets for chest and back armor but there are no inserts in those packets from the factory. You need to purchase upgrades if you want protection there. - Van

[@Mr_AfricaTwin]

@@sportbiketrackgear thank you appreciate the help

[@Sean_0109]

So idk how to get my measurements lol but I mean in a us size I’m a medium but since they go off of euro what would I be?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This jacket is sold in alpha sizes so just order a medium and you should be good to go. - Van
