Sizing Information

I found this style jacket to fit a bit snug across the chest and shoulders as compared to most of the other Alpinestars jackets we’ve checked this season. I’m estimating the fit is about 1/2 size smaller than most other Alpinestars jackets. It feels like the cut has a bit more of a narrow shoulder than the other styles. If you have an average build with narrow shoulders, then You’ll like how this jacket fits. If you have a beefy build wide shoulders, I don’t think you’ll like this one.

To find a fit, I’d suggest you measure your chest and belly and make a selection from the chart below. Choose a jacket that is big enough for both your chest and belly. For most, you’ll probably fit in the same size you normally wear in men’s clothing, but some may find they need to choose one size larger.

Note: If you plan to add back or chest armor you’ll need to add to your measurements before selecting a size from the chart. Add 1” to your chest and belly measurements to add a back protector. Add an additional 1” to your chest measurement if you plan to add the chest protector kit.
