Alpinestars T-Breeze Textile Jacket

By Greg from Los angeles, CA

Pros: Jacket is well made. All the seems look good. The shoulder and elbow armor are good and do not shift around like most mesh jackets. The elbow armor has better coverage than the other mesh jackets I've tried. Looks cool. Allows good ventilation.

Cons: The jacket is cut a little high in the arm pits. It's not uncomfortable, just took a minute to get used to. It doesn't flow as much air as the Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0, but feels like it would hold up better in a crash. I can't say for sure because I have not crashed tested them. It seems Ventilation vs Protection will always be a trade off.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: I am 5'9" 175lbs chest 41". I bought a size Medium. I have an athletic build so the jacket is slightly tight in the shoulders and arm pits. Not uncomfortably so. The sleeve and torso length are perfect.

Comments: I have looked at and tried on almost every mesh jacket available. Most of them look like ski jackets or are just plain ugly. I don't know why it's so hard to make a mesh jacket that actually... (Read the rest of this review)

Pros: Like others said, breaks wind well, allows for great ventilation. Went down on asphalt with this jacket and a CE2 back protector in, the elbow pads saved my skin. The asphalt ripped through the mesh like it was nothing and the only thing that saved my skin was the extra pad protectors that are included in the shoulder and elbow sections.

Cons: This jacket is overpriced when compared to other jackets that have more adjustments - i.e. elbow and arm straps which would have been useful for riding the interstate here in FL. I bought a Fieldsheer Mesh jacket for 100 bucks less and it is just as good if not better than the old A*s jacket.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Comments: You are paying for the name, nothing more. Yes, it is a good quality jacket, but better can be had for the same price or less. Fieldsheer is where it is at for mesh jackets.
