This was my third Alpinestars jacket. I was out of the game for a while when I started a family. My wife finally gave the thumbs up for a new bike and along with it, new gear! Summer in the Mid-Atlantic region can get pretty humid so I was looking for a leather jacket that provided excellent airflow. This jacket definitely provides that. As others stated, it can get a bit chilly on cooler days, but I didn't buy it for cooler days. The fit is a sport cut as the video describes. If you want a fit as described in the video, go with the Alpinestars fitting guide. If you want a more relaxed fit, you should go a size up. I'm guessing this would all also depend on your build. I have an athletic build and the jacket fits me like it was made for me. Overall I have no complaints. I purchased the white/black color way and it goes great with my helmet and bike. As with any jacket, I would go with a good aftermarket back protector. The pad the jacket comes with seems pretty useless. I don't see that as a downfall, however, seeing as that's the norm across the board. Excellent product and excellent service from Revzilla!
Yes, I recommend this product.

It seems as though through the description, this product is boasted good airflow. I'm looking for a knee guard that provides decent airflow for daily

riding. Will it be worth waiting for these or should I consider a product that's already out. Also what is the expected release date? Thank you.

Dowco Weatherall Plus Motorcycle Covers Dowco's most popular cover Heavy-duty polyester with special Color-Lok fabric treatment to prevent fading Exclusive ClimaShield Plus fabric protection repels water Waterproof with heat-sealed, taped seams Moisture GuardVent System lets moisture escape Aluminized heat shields allow immediate use after riding Interior liner protects windshield Sewn elastic shock cord and under-bike web strap Sewn-in grommets allow use of a cable lock (lock not included) Convenient storage bag New sewn-in pockets allow use of Guardian Alarm for added security Available in sizes to fit most motorcycle models Lifetime Warranty Please Note Sizes listed in Size Chart are for stock motorcycles without additions such as panniers, windshields, high handlebars or sissy bars. Addition of those options will typically require sizing up one to two sizes. Size MD - developed to fit Sportsters, Dynas, and older CB-series motorcycles Size Sport - developed to fit sport-class bikes up to and including the Hayabusa the heat-resistant coverage comes higher on the bike Size CR - developed to fit larger cruising motorcycles can accommodate the additional rake common to those bikes Size Adventure Touring - developed to fit the V-Strom 1000 without a top box Size LG - developed to fit 1983 Goldwing Interstate, a bike with fairly slim panniers and very small top box Size XL - developed to fit 1984 Goldwing interstate and Yamaha Venture, with full-size top boxes Size 2XL - developed to fit 1988 Goldwing, including later Aspencade models Size 3XL - developed to fit 2001 Goldwing to present models
 

I'm looking for the correct size for a 2012 Triumph Daytona 675R. The Dowco site states a "sportbike" size is best for this model and "medium" others.

It looks like the weatherall only comes in s,m,lg, etc. Not "sportbike". Do I need a medium? Thanks.
