VERY nice textile jacket.
This jacket is not only very stylish but very comfortable. Was happy to see Alpinestars went from vest liners (in 2008) to a full sleeve quilted liner in this jacket (for 2009). The stock back pad isn't going to do anything for you, so definitely get an add on back protector of some kind (if you like your spine). A lot of storage pockets and extras you'd expect from a brand line Alpinestars. In terms of sizing help, I'm 5'10'' 165 LBS and the medium fits like a glove.
