Not super awesome…but not horrible.
Overall a great jacket…but a little disappointed that some of the “standard” equipment/options are no longer standard. First the bad…I knew some of this when I ordered it…but I needed a jacket. There is no back pad. Would have at least expected the foam one. I ended up pulling the foam back pad out of my old jacket that’s now too big for me and it fit. The forearm/elbow armour seems cheap. Maybe it’s the newest and latest/greatest thing but compared to the armour from my old jacket it just seems flimsy and less protective. I ended up taking the arm armour out of my old jacket and putting it in the new one. There is no liner anymore other than the mesh one. They used to come with a zip in liner that was super thin and quilted…sort of a cold weather liner…but didn’t add any warmth but made it super easy to slip the jacket on/off. I was going to put my old liner in but there are no internal zippers to attach a liner anymore either…I feel like that’s a bit of a fail on alpinstars part. The mesh liner is stitched in and there is the smallest access zipper on the bottom of the jacket which is where you’d go to swap out armour. You have to access the sleeves through there too and is a bit of a poor design. Maybe I’m nit picking? Now the good…super comfortable and looks and fits great which is up to par with alpinstars gear in general. Zippers seem to be stronger than previous versions of jackets I’ve had and the back of the neck doesn’t pull like other jackets I’ve had. Still great quality…I guess my only beef is the lack of armour that used to come standard…and what is in there seems flimsy…and the inability to zip in a better liner…so that’s why 4 stars instead of 5 overall. And only 3 stars for protection…but that seems to be the new standard based on most jackets nowadays.

Red vs orange
Returned it. "Red" this time around is 10,000% orange. Eu sizing fits a bit bigger than previous. Eg 52 Eu would be 54 previous. Sleeves and body is longer. The jacket itself is good.

Top Quality
I am a medium size, ordered the L (52 Euro) and it’s a snug fit, just as recommended in the Alpenstars booklet that comes with the jacket. I carefully removed the soft pads (see photos) using a lot of care and a sharp craft knife on the stitching - they come off from inside the lining without damaging the leather. This gives you an extra half inch or so room across the chest area if you feel it’s a bit too snug lol. This jacket is comfortable on the bike and flows air nicely with the perforations. The black/black option is understated and is great for sport bikes and cruisers.

Great Jacket, but missing some of the extras.
The jacket is well made and fits great.
It does not however come with a cold weather vest or any sort of back protector.
These things have been standard on previous jackets I have purchased. This is definitely not a deal breaker as I love the look and fit of the jacket, but I would have expected a foam back pad at least.
The stealth look is great and I am very pleased that Alpinestars has started making more low-key gear.

Questions
Is it possible to add a Alpinestars back protector in this jacket? Which of the following products would work\fit? The Nucleon KR-CELLi, Nucleon KR-1i Cell or the Nucleon KR-2i Back. Thanks.
all of them fits nice !
