For reference, our studio photos were taken with a size Large jacket on on our Fit Check mannequin Shirley. Shirley is a standard dress size 12.

About sizing when accessory armor is used: I’d recommend you add 1” to your bust and waist measurements when adding any of the back protector choices.

Our Two Cents

The Alpinestars Gal Leather jacket for women is a new “retro” inspired jacket for 2019. If offers heavy leather construction with classic stitching. Armor is included for the shoulders and elbows and a removable thermal liner is included too. This jacket has a trim feminine cut.

Part of my review here will use snippets of the review of the men’s Crazy Eight jacket because the feature list and the styling a quite similar. The leather and styling of this jacket reminds me of premium jackets we sold a couple decades ago. The leather is thicker, but not as dense as you see with most sport and race jackets, so it is softer. The finish is “softer” and not as shiny either. After some break-in, this jacket ought to be very comfortable.

Considering the thicker leather and with no provisions for venting, this jacket won’t be your friend in hot summer weather. But for mild to cold weather use, it should be great. And to make it even better in cold weather, the jacket comes with an insulated fleece removable liner to add a layer of insulation. Wet weather? No way. The softer finish of this leather will likely soak up water and the results won’t be pretty, so don’t take this one out if you expect rain (not without a rain jacket on board anyway).

The overall tailoring in this jacket is pretty impressive. The quilting on the shoulders looks great because it is done over a layer of light padding. All the hardware is heavy duty and should last for years.

The armor included with the jacket is standard molded rubber CE 1 removable type. And there is a pocket to add a back protector. I’ve listed a few options at the bottom of this page to add a back protector. There is discussion on each of the back protector pages to help you choose the one for you. I’d recommend the lightest of the three, the KR-Celli unit. This jacket is pretty heavy already and you’ll want to minimize added weight. But if you want more protection you can choose one of the other two. :: Paul, 05-09-19
