Note on color: The pictures of the Tarmac color that were supplied by Alpinestars looked way off, so we have replaced it with our own photo. The factory photo looks like a grey, where it is actually much more of a brown color.
Our Two Cents
This classy, stylish jacket from Alpinestars has a lot of subtle touches that set it apart from your usual utilitarian riding jacket. The quality of construction and materials used is top notch. On top of that – this jacket is very comfortable and is designed with good protective features as well. CE approved armor is included for the shoulders and elbows. Although there is no back protector included, there is a pocket to accept back armor, which we would highly recommend adding (see below). Other riding features include a removable, fully sleeved insulated liner, and four zippered vents which will keep you cool on hotter days. For storage, there are two handwarmer pockets on the outside, while inside there are 3 cargo pockets and a zippered document pocket. A couple nice features of the internal pockets: the document pocket is accessible whether the liner is in or out, thanks to an opening in the liner. The cargo pockets are included in both the insulated liner and the jacket shell, so whether the liner is in or out, the pockets are in the same places.
