jan_mlt Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 i saw this awesome alpinestars leather jacket[http://www.alpinestars.com/Vector_Leather_Jacket/pd/np/121/p/310469.html] i want to buy it but the elbows are really bent racing style and a hump on the back since i will only travel for max. 45min do u think wearing and taking it off when i get of the bike is irritating. i can't possibly imagine me walking in a jacket like that unless i a filmin a rob-cop film. since it costs €400 i wanted your opinion ppli have no experience at all so if this is normal i will be glad to buy itthanks Quote
Guest akey Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 It all depends on what style of leathers you like and what bike you are riding.I ride a tiger and in summer wear a one piece race suit with a hump! I have had a couple of jackets with the bent arms and to be honest you dont really notice when off the bike (how often do you stand around with straight arms?) The hump is no big deal to be honest you wont even notice its there when you wear the jacket.If you like the look and style of the jacket and its within your price range then go for it, A'Star are a good make known for quality.If you are not sure then look around, try your local dealers, Hein Gericke etc to see what else is available.

jan_mlt Posted December 21, 2008 Author Posted December 21, 2008 i also liked a couple of dainese jackets but the do not seem to offer alot of protection and i had the impression they are aimed at older ppli think i will but it!! Quote
