Way too small
Have a leather Alpinestars jacket that fits great...so I ordered the same size in the mesh, and it was so small my arms could barely fit into it. Arm length was too short and the armholes were so tight I could barely move. Would have needed to order one or two sizes larger in order to fit. Unfortunate that the mesh and leather do not follow the same sizing...oh well. Had to return it.

An excellent all-around jacket
Before buying this jacket I have always worn leather, but after moving to San Diego I was tired of suffering the heat--and I refuse to get on a bike without a proper jacket like most people seem to do around here.
I knew immediately that this jacket fit the bill. The removable liner is very thin but made of a non-porous, raincoat-like material, so it insulates remarkably well without adding bulk and should keep you reasonably dry in an unexpected shower. For 50-60ºF days, I add a sweatshirt underneath and I am warm enough. The jacket with liner is good to about 75ºF, above which I would remove the liner.
One thing I really like about this jacket is that there are duplicate internal pockets in both the liner and the jacket itself. In most removable-liner designs, you lose some pockets when you zip out the liner. Not so with this one!
As others have mentioned they do run small. I am 6'1 and 175 lbs and the "large" fits me just slightly snug (which is what you want). I would definitely advise going a size larger than you normally wear.
For someone living in a hot or mild climate, this is the only jacket you will ever need.

Very nice for summer days
Jacket is good even on 90F days. I feel quite safe. The only problem is with size, a bit tight fit. Always get size+ for Alpinestars.

Great Jacket
This jacket is perfect!! Everything down to the features and cost! I live in an extremely hot humid place and the jacket fits in perfect here. Would recommend this jacket to any and all my friends that ride. Again I love this jacket.

Great jacket!
I live on the big island of Hawaii and it gets pretty hot and this jacket keeps me really cool while riding. I think it's pretty good that its inner lining is able to detach so that it can accommodate cool and warm weather.

best bang for your buck!
Not only very affordable for such a good brand, but really a very comfortable fit and good looks! I have been wearing in hot days, and the air flows really well. I'm really happy with this purchase.

Great All-around Jacket
After a year with this jacket, I'm still very pleased. I've worn this jacket in heat waves (liner removed) and downpours. The liner is easily removed (5-10 seconds) and reinserted (30 seconds). It has two sets of inside-jacket pockets, one set in the liner and the other set inside exposed when you remove the liner. Air flows well during the warmer rides and the liner keeps me dry in light rain (dries well too). I've also zipped the jacket to my mesh Alpinestars pants which is a bit tricky at first but I've learned to zip and unzip fairly smoothly and quick. This combination provides air flow while still having some protection while I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt underneath.

Good Summer Jacket
Good protection and good ventilation. Small liner that zips in inside, take about 2 minutes to put in and about 15 seconds to take out, keeps the chill out on cool mornings, would not recommend for cold or wet weather.

Alpinestars makes the best riding gear. I have several jackets (Icon, Rev-it) and by far my AlpineStars are the best. They fit small so if you are a medium as I am order a large. Good medium weight jacket with excellent padding.

Good Jacket, moderate protection, excellent comfort.
First of all, I really like this jacket. With that said the sizing is definitely off. I always buy medium and rarely are shirts tight on me (5'11'' 160 lbs.), but I had to get this jacket in a large. I know moto jackets usually run a little small but the medium was just really uncomfortable. The jacket comes with elbow and shoulder armor included, which I would like to think would be useful in the case of an accident. I also added the back protector for extra support. Armor aside, this jacket would get torn up in a high speed slide. Then again all mesh will. I wear this thing in the Texas heat so if you're in a similar climate I would recommend it.

T-Breeze Air-Flo Jacket
Alpinestars has hit the mark w/this jacket. It's exactly what I was looking for. It's comfortable and not too short on the back. If you typically fit into Tall pick the next larger size and you should be OK. I am 6'4” tall (weigh ~ 240) and the XXL was the right fit. I was concerned that the sleeve length would be too short but it was just right.
The jacket has multiple outside/inside pockets and a convenient mp3 player location at the top of the chest.
GREAT JACKET FOR A NICE PRICE!!! Thanks!!!

Alpinestars - T-Breeze Air-Flo Jacket
Fit, Finish and Quality are great. True to size. Excellent vent, provides more than enough ventilation while riding but it does warm up when at stop lights and slow moving traffic

Great Jacket
I really like this jacket. It's really simple and clean looking. The shoulder and elbow armor are in the right place when riding and the jacket breathes really well. That's really good for Texas summer heat. I ride it during midday heat and it keeps me cool enough to enjoy my ride.

Awesome jacket, runs small though!
*****This jacket will run about a size small. I've seen other reviews stating this too and ignored it when I ordered mine. I'm 5’11”, 150lbs, ordered a medium and it is a bit small. I'd like to have gotten a large but didn't want the hassle. Comes out of Oregon on the pony express so go ahead and pay for 2nd day shipping. Otherwise the jacket is awesome. Lots of airflow. Haven't gotten caught in the rain so I can't say anything about that. Inner liner would be nice for rain but feels too plastic and cheap for a year round liner. Great summer jacket!

Nice and Cool
Very comfortable in the California heat. Keeps you nice and cool without giving up the protection you need.

I am 5ft10 and 190lbs, and the medium just fits, but when I loose 10 lbs it will be perfect. You don’t want a loose fitting jacket anyway. Air flow is stupendous, very retro looking, extremely visible at night, and my Alpinestars RC back protector fits good with only slight notice ability. The other armor is CE and you can’t tell its part of the jacket. I would buy this jacket again in a heartbeat. The best part is the blue and black one goes great with my KYMCO scooter.

T-breeze Air flo Jacket
Love the jacket. Comfortable and cost effective. It has all the right protection in the right places and is cool enough for summer, yet easy enough to fit a sweatshirt under for winter. Stops the wind with the full sleeve liner and is great in the rain too. No Leaks through the zipper. Nice substitute for leather in everyday riding/commuting. Looks good too.

Alpinestart T-Breeze Jacket
This jacket is great! The sizing is true to the other Alpinestar jackets that I have tried on (I am 5'10" 175 lbs and I wear a large). The mesh looks like it would handle well in a spill, good reflectivity, and it has plenty of pockets. The wrist closures are not very adjustable. And there is no flap closure at the neck. These would make the jacket fit better, but not a big deal. The liner also seems pretty lightweight. It does seem to break the wind pretty well (I haven't tried it in the r
