After trying on a few alpinestars jackets, I find the cut and fit of this jacket well suited to my body type. I wear a 40 to 42 suit jacket and a 33 pant (broad shoulders, slim waist). The Indy jacket can be adjusted tapered enough in the waist to be fairly snug. Its a lighter leather and well perforated to give good airflow on hot days! in cooler weather, adding a layer underneath will do fine. There is no removable liner inside. If you want a leather jacket for multiple seasons this is it. Just add a CE back protector. :)
Yes, I recommend this product.

The G4 does what it claims, and it does it well. A2DP is awesome. I use it with my iphone, to listen to music in full stereo. And there seems to be an automatic gain feature so as ambient noise increases the volume auto increases! I can get audio turn-by-turn using the GPS installed on my iphone. The intercom works well. And when taking calls on phone, the caller can't tell i'm on my bike- the noise cancellation is excellent !!
Yes, I recommend this product.

These jeans are a little heavier than regular jeans (14oz denim) but its not noticeable, they are very comfortable! They brown leather reinforcement at the heel protects them from wear/tear.
and from the photo, I feared that maybe the jeans might be baggy, but they actually look like a regular stylish pair of jeans - I would consider wearing them out.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Good amount of material, have had them for awhile and they don't seem to thin out like regular tube socks. Fit into my 3/4 riding boots great. Comfortable too

What are the length of the sleeves?

Hi,
According to the size chart i am a 50 but am worried that the sleeve length may be too short. what are the sleeve lengths of the 50 and 52 in this jacket? thanks
I'm not sure whether to measure sleeves from armpit or shoulder, but i can tell you that I usually wear 40 or 42 suit jacket, and I had to go up one size with this to 44 (54 euro) to get the shoulders to fit right. I usually wear longer sleeves and this fit great.

On the Cardo G4 can gps directions be heard through both headsets

Yes, I can hear instructions in stereo. But if you mean can another rider hear the instructions, I don't know - I wouldn't think so.
