Great jacket for those warm days!
Like all Alpinestars they fit small but if you follow the chart and order 1 or 2 sizes larger than your normal sizing, it will fit fine. The quality of this jacket is good and it is nice and cool with the air flowing through it but still gives you the protection from the pavement and the bugs. The removable inner windbreaker works well for the cool mornings and light rain too! I would buy this jacket again!

RC-1 AirFlo -- Mucho Air Flow
Picked this jacket up a few weeks back and have been using it a lot. Great airflow!. The armor on the jacket stays in place very well and the jacket fits nice and snug. I like the option to put a chest protector in if I wish and the construction of the jacket seems very good. The only thing I wish were different on the jacket are the wrist closures. The RC-1 uses Velcro which overtime will probably fray; I wish they used a snap button system.

Very Comfortable
Alpinestars maintains their high standard of quality as this jacket; it is well put together and seems very durable. Even the “mesh” material looks as though it could stand up to a good deal of abrasion. Feels great in 90+ heat as long as you are moving (direct sun still gets a little warm when still). Literally feels like an internal air conditioner when going smooth. The size runs small as with most Alpinestars racing gear so that it fits snug (It's my only 3XL piece of clothing I own!). Logos look good and are made of thick rubber compound so it won't fade away. Only complaint...the CE armor seems to float on you and not stay in place. Overall: Great jacket at a very reasonable price!

Great Jacket, even for cruisers
This is a great jacket for anyone who wants safety in hot weather. With the liner out, the jacket has great airflow. It is extremely comfortable, but does run a little small. I am 6'0" 235 lbs, and the 2x was too small, but 3x is perfect. Great hot weather alternative to leather for cruisers.

Amazing Jacket!
Jacket has perfect airflow; I was afraid that it would be too cold at night in Southern California but I found that even in 50 degree weather, while only wearing a t-shirt under the jacket, my hands and legs were COLD while I was still comfortable in the jacket. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend this jacket if your looking for a textile jacket that looks and feels great. :)

Nice summer jacket.
Not as much protection as my leather RC-1 but, it still feels good for the Job. Really light to wear and with acceptable ventilation. Excellent for hot Mexican weather.
