RidersDiscount Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Spring is just around the corner, and that means a new riding season is just starting. That also means that new gear is being rolled out by many brands, including Alpinestars. One of their new releases, which is sure to be a hit, is the Jaws leather jacket. This aggressively styled piece combines solid Alpinestars protection with some new features to enhance both comfort and safety.The outer layer of the jacket is made up of 1.3mm full-grain leather with Alpinestars’ tried and true TPU sliders protecting the shoulders. These details aren’t anything new, but the way that the leather sections are cut, arranged and interspersed with a variety stretch panels is. The pattern is very well thought out, with the stretch panels in the chest, arms, back and waist allowing the jacket to flex along with your body’s natural movement. More protection is found inside the jacket, with removable CE-certified armor in the shoulders and elbows. PE padding fills compartments in the chest and back, but they can be upgraded with optional Alpinestars Bionic Armor.Alpinestars is producing two versions of the Jaws jacket - standard and perforated. The standard may not have the perforated front and back panels, but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking airflow. Both models have large zippered vents at the top of each chest stretch panel to provide the desired amount of ventilation. The jaws also comes with a removable thermal vest liner, making it wearable in a wide range of weather conditions.The new Alpinestars Jaws jacket is available in the following variants (some of which may be back ordered or available in very limited quantities).Standard (Non-Perforated):- Black- Black/WhitePerforated:- Black- Black/White- Black/White/Green- Black/White/RedIf you would like to order one of your own, check availability, or get expert sizing advice, you can get in touch with MIKE through this forum or by calling 866.931.6644 ext. 804.

I love that thing and am pleased that I will be skinny enough this season to actually wear it. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidersDiscount Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 The excellent Alpinestars Jaws jacket is also available in a perforated Black/White/Green version. We're still impressed with how comfortably this jacket wears. The unique rounded stretch panels in the chest are not just a gimmick and work very well.
