Half leather, half mesh; all Alpinestars – the Alloy Jacket is a unique take on the hybrid design motorcycle jacket that exploits the best properties of both materials without compromising safety or comfort. Excellent ventilation is provided everywhere you look on this jacket thanks to generous use of mesh material. And, where the hydrophobic mesh isn’t used (in areas that are most likely to come into contact with the ground should the jacket be called into its safety roll!) perforated leather is employed for reliable abrasion resistance. Stretch Kevlar panels on the arms make sure the jacket fits a wide range of sizes with ease. There’s even a wind and water-resistant full-length zip-out liner included with the jacket for use in all weather. CE-certified SP armor is used in the elbows and shoulders for impact absorption along with PE padding in the chest and back for even more crash forgiveness. You can also upgrade the latter piece with an RC Back Protector (also from Alpinestars) for greater piece of mind.

This entire jacket is comfortable and easy to move about in thanks to the smart combination of leather and fabric – get one today by calling Mike at 866.931.6644 ext 804. If you have any questions about fit or international shipping, please send an email to MICHAEL at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM with ASTARS ALLOY in the subject line and we’ll get back to you right away.

This jacket only comes in black.

Accordion stretch panels in the shoulders suit any ride from the highest of ape-hangers to lowest of clip-ons.

3-Layer weather-resistant liner easily zips out when not in use.

Up front, there’s ventilation in spades.

It’s easy to keep too much material from flapping in the wind with the buckle adjustment tabs on the lower sides. Unlike Velcro that’s sometimes used to do this, these (obviously) will stay put!

A quick review of both Riders Discount and my Alpinestar Alloy jacket....

I was skeptical of buying from Riders Discount...call it internet paranoia...Well did a little checking and found them on E-bay, they have a decent review on there. I then sent Michael an e-mail asking questions and got immediate responses back with full detailed answers to my questions...Unsure of which size jacket to get, I sent Michael the information and he hesitantly suggested a size for me. I found a local dealer who sells Alpinestar and tried on a couple of jackets. It turns out I would have fit in the size suggested by Michael, but it woud have been snug in the shoulders, arm length and the gut. I needed the next size up, I sent Michael an e-mail and on the 4th of July (Yes the HOLIDAY) I get a reply back from him saying "he had pulled the order and the new order was placed" of course this added time for shipping...No problem I made the change not him!!

Communication was excellent and response time could not have been better, excellent customer service, even when I changed the order on him....So to sum it up, Riders Discount is a GREAT company to deal with and the PRICING can not be beat, just I checked on this jacket and COULD NOT find it any cheaper then what Michael sold it to me for!!! I will buy from them again if I need anything!! thumb up thumb up

Now for the Alpinestar Alloy Jacket, I have only had a chance to wear it once, since we have had rain and 90+ degree days...but when I did wear it this thing BREATHS, you would not believe how well the air flows thru this jacket!!! I ride a Victory Vision which has a full fairing and the driver is fairly well protected, even with this I could feel the air flowing through the jacket! It has leather in all the right places, JUST IN CASE of a tumble...Fit and finish is of course top notch as it is Alpinestar....Very impressed with the jacket and how well it flows air!! thumb up thumb up

Thanks to Michael and Riders Discount!!! cheers
