 | Re: Alpinestars V4, Stunt or Dyno Jackets Looking for any feedback on these jackets. I have seen them in person but of course noone has any in my size to try on. I am 5'10 215lbs some jackets I have tried like first gear I am a 46 yet the JR blaster jacket I tried on was to tight in the 46. Any help would be appreciated. Tom | |

 | Re: Alpinestars V4, Stunt or Dyno Jackets The Dyno jacket is pretty nice. I have noticed that the Alpinestars stuff does run a bit on the small side. |

| Re: Alpinestars V4, Stunt or Dyno Jackets I've got the V4 jacket and the wife has the Dyno jacket. I'm 5'11 190lbs and I got the 52/42. It's snug but that's the way I was told it should fit. As far as quality, it's holding up well. I haven't crashed tested it and hope not to. I got the black/silver and it's pretty warm in the summer. Let me know if you have any other questions. |

| Re: Alpinestars V4, Stunt or Dyno Jackets I have a Haga 1 piece suit. Size-wise, I think Alpinestars run smaller compared to other brands. I do love it though. |

| Re: Alpinestars V4, Stunt or Dyno Jackets How are the alpinestars in the padding dept? *I know all leather is warm in the summer but once moving is it bearable? Thanks to all for the responses. *Seems like alpinestars is the way I am gonna be heading once the dealers around here get in some new stock that I can try on. Tom |

| Re: Alpinestars V4, Stunt or Dyno Jackets The biggest problem with A-Stars is that noone around here carries any surplus of them. *Everyone is more then willing to special order them but how can I order something I dont know if I will like. *I found that I am a 46 after finding a left over jacket stuck in the pile at my local dealer. I think I am going to order the stunt jacket. Looks like a good jacket for the price plus I love the pref. Any other A-stars jackets have pref? Tom |

| Re: Alpinestars V4, Stunt or Dyno Jackets I figured the pref jackets would get cold but it cant be any worse then riding in 60 degree weather with my pheonix jacket and a long sleeve tshirt like I did in the end of March and a few chilly nights last week. we shall see what happens over the next few weeks I might just change my mind again its been known to happen now and again * Tom |

| Re: Alpinestars V4, Stunt or Dyno Jackets I have a T-Stunt Airflow textile jacket. The only problem with these is that the sizing is a little too vague. The large is a little too small and the xl is a little too big. Dont have any input for the leather jackets though. My ex crashed her bike on the highway in a Dyno jacket and it held up fairly well. Had a couple small areas of stitching come loose but they were just on trim pieces...nothing critical. |

They have excellent gear. I have a pair of GP plus gloves and SMX plus boots, very satisfied with both. Their gear is generally on the 'smaller' side of things because they model them after Europeans who are generally thinner then most Americans. | |
