Product Review: Alpinestar Stunt Jacket-blingbling style w/o the bling bling price...

V4

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Recently got the Alpinestar Stunt jacket and gotta say I love it, especially for the price of around $360--prices vary...:teeth

Its has a laid-back cut/looks to it yet still offers good protection and a snug fit for riding around town or on favorite backroads without looking too much like Ricky-Racer.....

It is pretty snug but breaks-in quickly after a few rides and is quite comfortable thereafter without being too stiff or having the jacket too tight for a long period of time....

Has a removeable vest liner for hot days and perforated shoulders for the more warmer days....The red/white/black is the only one that's fully perforated for some reason but its still pretty warm with the vest liner and pretty cool with it removed.....

The inside liner does help keep warm when needed and help the leather "breathe" so that you won't sweat up too much....

Reflective strips around the arm and near the collar on the back for night riding but I wouldn't count on it for a cager to see you.....

It does have a "backprotector" which is more of a foam equivalent to a stick of gum but the jacket does have a big enough pocket to insert other brands if desired: Ive inserted a 7-plate Dianese backarmor without any problems.....

The main entry zipper pull is a bit weak as well but can be easily be replaced by stronger ones so be warned....carry a paperclip with you on the road , just in case.....

The jacket is easily attachable to the Alpinestar "Track" pants with an almost 360 zipper as well......

For the money, its a good product and happy with it for my everyday riding needs.....

Great write up. Also, great looking jacket. :cool

I was interested in that model as well, but after finding out that the red/black/white one was the only one with full perforation, I'm forced to look elsewhere for a perforated jacket. :(

Yes, it's a very nice jacket. Too bad they don't have it in my color and size anywhere in the USA! Next shipments are not due until September (been told this by every dealer)!

Also, only the red Stunt jacket comes perforated on the chest.
Also, you can get them for $289 if you look hard enough (www.MotoXoutlet.com ie)

Got tilt?
A-stars has them in stock now, I just got mine a few days ago that was on back order for two months.

I have the red stunt jacket, the fully perf'd one and like it so far. Big decision maker for me was the fit. I run a 40US and all the jackets I tried in this size were made for someone with a size 30 waist. So the jackets would ride up my waist and not give me a solid snug fit around my shoulders. If I went up to a 42, the waist would fit but would be too loose everywhere else.

The stunt is slightly relaxed and not as much of a "V" at the waist, so the right size fits me just perfect. :teeth

Protection seems very good, except for the back protector as John says. But I ride with my Helimot protector, so I just took the wafer one out.

I agree with the zipper, if it fails I'll have Johnson's put a stronger one in.

I also got a pair of pants, and the 360 zip gets me out on the track.....soon :teeth

I got my Stunt jacket back in March, really nice construction. My only complaint is I got the yellow/black combo and should have got a darker color. The yellow is hard to keep clean. lol Also held up after I fell, not even visable scratches on the elbows.
