Is this not track suitable for some reason? Looksto me to be a regular leather full armored jacket. Am I missing a detail that would make it track worthy?Nobama 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.W. Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Most tracks require either a one piece leather suit or a two piece combo that zips more than 75% full circumference. That jacket must not attach to Alpinestar pants. Hence, not track worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 "Internal waist connection zipper allows attachment to selected Alpinestars leather and textile pants."I saw these in Gatlinburg on a Gap trip. I could have sworn it was a 360 zipper. Maybe I'm wrong? Nobama 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 It's a 360 zipper. Totally fine for track day use.They do not market the jackets to be suitable for track use because typically, these are a street use item. Even their mesh jackets are sometimes a 360 waist. But a mesh jacket isn't a track day approved item even if mated to leather pants. Marketing is all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.W. Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Makes you wonder how many sales they gain vs how many sales they lose by marketing it that way without clarification about the 360 zipper?Good info to know for sure.
