I just purchased an Alpinestars SP-1 in size 42 US-52 EUR . It fits very snug , when not zipped up the zippers are about 2 inches apart while i have it on. Zipped up i can still put my hand underneath jacket.

My questions are how tight would you want it to fit ? And should i move up one size ? With the tape measure i'm at 42 inches chest size.

Thanks for the help !

A rider went down here last month, a car pulled out in front of him and i got the message LOUD & CLEAR :eek: He's in rehab. They don't know if there has been to much to much trama to his brain or not .

I was talking about brand, but yea.
Two of my buddies been hit by a car.
My next purchase will definitely be a set of boots.

man those alpinestars jackets run tight. i tried one on in the store and i could not get it off. i was struggling and struggling. finally my wife came back from whatever section she was in and gave me a hand. i would definitely have to get a size larger.

i wish they wouldn't make jackets with fake abdominal muscles. other than that, sweet gear.

Old Guys need this to impress the Ladies :D

I dont think those are supposed to be there for style lol they give a little more material to burn off if you ever slid on your belly. But yeah old dudes like me need them to impress the ladies too.
