Alpinestars T-Jaws WP textile jacket, size L, $90

[motociclista]

Now that decent riding weather is here, I have an Alpinestars T-Jaws WP textile jacket I'd like to sell. 

 

The jacket is in good condition, never been crashed. Just selling it because I don't wear it much. This is a good option for someone who wants a three-season (fall, winter, spring) waist-length sporty jacket. The cut is not too sporty, though. I've ridden one long trip on my Versys, which has a totally upright riding position, and also used it on my Daytona.

 

 

The reason I call it a three-season jacket is because of two things. First, it has very little venting, and second, the waterproof liner is built in, so the air that does come in the vents does not go to your skin, but to the liner. On the other hand, with the thermal liner in, I find this jacket to be warmer than most for cold-weather riding, and I'm a wimp about the cold. I would say you could pair this with a mesh jacket for summer riding and be good for the whole year around.

 

It has CE-rated armor at the shoulders and elbows and a thin foam back pad. In the photo below, the blue arrow shows the waterproof liner, the orange arrow shows the thermal liner, which is partially unzipped, the green arrow is the zipper to attach to pants and the red arrow is the zipper that lets you access the armor and also allows a little more exhaust venting when the shoulder vents are open. 

 

 

Full disclosure: The body of the jacket is completely waterproof but the main zipper has no flap over it, so if you ride in all-day rain, water will get through the main zipper. This jacket will keep you dry if you get caught in a shower, however.

 

The size is a large. I am 5-11 and 175 pounds and it fits me fine with the thermal liner in and I can even wear another insulating layer beneath, so you could be a little bigger than me and still use it, especially without the thermal liner.

 

OR price is $90 if you pick it up here in the Columbus area. Add shipping for elsewhere.

Bumping this up now that September is here. This jacket didn't sell in the spring, but now's a better time to buy it anyway, because it's best for use in fall, winter and spring. See the full description in the original post.

 

I have lost a few more pounds over the summer so the jacket is looser on me than before. I would rather sell it to someone who can get full use of it.

 

Nearly like new, but less than half the price of new.

 

Also, I would be willing to sell the AGV gloves shown in the photo for $25 if anyone wants them. They are size large but run large and are a bit too big for me. They've been used a full season but have no damage or issues. If anyone wants better photos of the gloves, let me know. They have knuckle armor, wrist strap and cuff closure and sewn-on grippy surfaces on the palm and fingers.

Here are the gloves. By AGV. I forget the model. I wear a size large in most gloves, but these are a little big on me. The shot of the palm shows the grippy sections on the fingers and palm. You can also see there's a little wear on one of the fingers. No loose seams, never been down.
