Really good feel once you were it. Astars quality shown everywhere. Fit is perfect but the jackets run a little smaller.
When I measured myself I was definitely a size or 2 smaller in the chest and the shoulders. But I had longer sleeves. So I tried one of my friends monza and I also tried a trigger suit and I bought one size up. So you really have to figure out where you stand by trying on some jackets from astars(the snug fit ones especially have a different fit and stitch)

Comparing it with a astars gp-pro jacket and a monza jacket(from a 2-piece suit) this one feels and has lots more of safety features like additional padding throughout and external sliders, etc.
Do some research between top grain Vs full grain leather and you will get a better idea I guess.
Other than that a really good jacket from astars for spirited street riding and an average track rider. I am not sure about pro-level of protection for people interested in pro-level track riding. Might have to look a little above the order I guess.
So far no complaints. But be careful with sizing. Try one before you make an order to avoid the hassle of exchanging for the right size.

Really comfortable as soon as you get onto the riding position. I cannot go without mentioning about the airflow. Initially I was skeptical about leather pants providing good airflow but this actually made my calves cold on a 70F ride so I am guessing this will definitely keep me cool on a warm day.
The quality and finish is top notch and its from the astars list of products so can skip researching about the quality of the leather used.
I am in between 32-34 jeans size and I am pretty comfortable in a 34 jeans so I went for a 52/42 pant which is one size larger(US size 36). So the pants do go a size smaller especially if you have a little bigger thighs.
Haven't crash tested it, so cannot comment on that and I highly doubt that a brand like astars would let me down.
4stars for "Features" and "Bang for the Buck" as I don't own a track leather pant from any other brand to compare with this.
