I currently got my new Alpinestars jacket and boots. I wanted to share with you all. Both items fit great.
My chest size is 41in/104cm and I got the 52euro/42us GP Plus R Perforated jacket. I have enough room to wear shirt and a thin hoodie.
Boot size is 9.5in/44euro S-MX 1.

I always been a fan of Alpinestars, so I find the jacket(s) well done and spot on when it comes to fitment.

I also hace and Alpine Celer in black but i think I might go Dainese next time.
IMO Alpinestars are quality. I've just treated myself to a new one piece Carver suit and a new pair of Supertech R boots, last pair lasted from 2008 so had my money's worth. Went for the nice n bright white/black/yellow with a bit of red.

As usual with Alpinestars though I had to go a size up though, especially with my back protector on.

nice jacket!

you get a good deal on it?
I got the jacket from sportbiketrackgear.com . I think pricing on Alpinestars or Dainese Apparel hold the value no matter where you get them.

I actually just picked up a Carver suit as well, and I like it. For a suit on the lower end of the cost range it's really quite nice. I am just using some alpinestars SMX-5 boots though since I use them on the street as well as track. I've been eyeing some Sidi boots lately though....

Be giving them the first try out on the bike tomorrow. Your right about the suit, fantastic value for money, my last 1 piece was the MX1, almost twice the price and I'd say the Carver nor far behind on quality

Noice!

I have the Aplinestars SP2 Black/White/Yellow would match perfectly with that combination ;)





I need a new helmet though...

May have to get myself a pair of those. I've got the black 365's I'm using at the moment, great gloves.
I got fitted for this Taichi yesterday. I had to have a custom size because I'm vertically challenged and well fed. :D I'm going to change a few colors and add a few graphics.
