Purchased this Alpinestars Bio Armor Back Protector to fit inside my Alpinestars SP-1 Perforated Leather Jacket. The back protector perfectly replaced the foam "place holder" insert in the jacket armor pocket. The sizing is spot on and provides an increased level of protection for my daily street use of this jacket. The back protector is lightweight, perforated and of typical high Alpinestars quality. I have noticed no measurable differences in the comfort level of the jacket with the back protector even on 3-4 hour rides in 90 degree plus weather. I don't hardly even FEEL it's there, but I know the added protection IS there. Great product.

This was my first base layer purchase and I really like the fit, function and quality of this product. I bought them for spring and summer seasons and they maintain temperature and comfort really well. I like the extra stitching and reinforcements given to areas of high stress and where body armor is located. Wearing them all day in summer conditions under a full suit makes the riding all the better.

REV'IT! Oxygen Long Sleeve Shirt Purpose-built for summer use, the OXYGEN long-sleeved base layer shirt offers superb moisture management properties, thanks to a special open-knitting technique. Body-mapping technology has allowed us to determine which areas of the body require even more ventilation the back, chest, underarms, and elbows. In these spots the round knit fabric is even more open, to wick moisture away optimally. The OXYGEN shirt keeps you dry and comfortable on even the warmest days. PROTECTION FEATURES Outer shell polyamide Composition 93 Polyamide, 7 Elastane ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit regular Features Seamless in 3D round knit technology Moisture wicking function Antibacterial finish Odor control Air spacer ribs at shoulders Airvent zone at armpit 3D-airvent zone at front chest Insulation guards at elbow and side waist Climate control unit at back Autofit cuffs and hem

I purchased these boots to start participating in track days and I did not go wrong. Their construction and fit are top notch in line with all the Alpinestars gear I own. The sizing is on and allows easily for my leather pants to be inserted inside the boot and comfortable. I like the removable/replaceable toe sliders. I have spent a few hours in the boots already on the street and they are comfortable. Nice product.

Bought these Alpinestars Apex Drystar Gloves to compliment my other Alpinestars gear and extend my riding season in Colorado. Years ago I had previous cold weather injuries to my hands and they continue to be cold sensitive. With these gloves I have been able to ride for over two hours in 35 degree weather on my naked sportbike. They are typical Alpinestars in excellent quality, fit and function. Highly recommended.

Dimensions
Could anyone provide the height & width of any of the sizes?
I used the drop down "Sizing Chart" feature on the Revzilla website to get the best and most accuarte measurements for the item. In my case I also compared these posted dimensions against the jacket pocket and foam insert. I factored in the thickness of the back protector in my decision.
