Addendum to my first review
By Gerard from Los Angeles
Pros: Fits great but tight around the bicep area...read prior review
Cons: 4 months into wearing this about 5 days a week, the seams have started coming apart in several areas. Upper chest area where the zipper zips in the front on both sides, both arms, and one spot on the back. I also had to wire tie down the zipper that secures the back protector as I found this zipper constantly unzipping itself.
Sizing Info: Fits 1 size smaller
Additional Sizing Notes: I'm 5'5" and 160...muscular build.
Comments: Great product initially but build quality (possibly execution?) is mediocre at best. Not what I expected from this well respected manufacturer.

Sizing chart blunder
By Goktendal from Istanbul - Turkey
Pros: It feels safe and it looks super-cool.
Cons: No cons about the product itself but it seems to me that Alpinestars screwed up big time in size conversion. Look at their size chart. It says, for example, 5'9"-6'0" is equivalent to 180-183 centimeters but no! Ok, 6'0" is equal to 183 cm but 5'9" makes 175 cm. I guess they think one foot is 10 inches long instead of 12. It's funny when you think about it :)
