We’re proud to introduce the 4th generation our Alpha Jacket. Our best jacket, just got a whole lot better!
I know what you’re thinking… “what’s different compared to the old Alpha Jacket”? We’ve spent the past 2 years riding all over the world, taking notes of ‘all the small things’ that we could improve. More importantly, we listened to YOU. Your emails and reviews had some hidden clues on ways we could improve the design… and we’ve been paying attention.
STAY PROTECTED
We’ve stuck with the classic Protective Maxtex® 600 D outer shell for superior abrasion resistance. For added protection, we’ve designed the jacket to be 100% compatible with body armour inserts for the back, shoulders and elbows (sold separately). NEED ARMOUR? CLICK HERE. Please note this product requires our regular Zeus Pro Ce Level 2 Back Protector, but not all our jackets share this same pocket size. Please email us if you are unsure.
STAY COMFORTABLE
Cold weather? We’ve improved the removable Thermoline® thermal liner, plus added built-in wrist gaiters to help block cold wind from entering your sleeves.
Warm weather? Zip-out that thermal lining and open the new SmartVentTM System (with a total of 5 zipper vents) for maximum air circulation, keeping you cooler.
With a total of 5 large pockets, you’ll have plenty of room to stash all your valuables on your next ride. We’ve added a magnetic keeper to the removable hood (to stop it flapping around), there’s a hidden key clip in the front pocket for your key/fob, reflective logos for extra visibility and premium YKK® zippers all round.
STAY DRY
Built for the worst conditions – Fully seam sealed + our new Humax® membrane features a huge 14k Waterproof + 19k Breathability rating, resulting in the ultimate protection against rain, wind and snow. (14,348 mmH2O + 19,241 g/m2/24 h)
STAY OUT THERE
We’ve built the new Alpha Jacket to take you wherever you want to go. From mountain peaks, to city streets. Around town, or around the world. The Alpha 4.0 Motorcycle jacket is ready for it all.
The Alpha Jacket has ZERO stretch. We recommend that you choose a size that will fit 'loosely' on your body.
The best way to find out your size is to measure a jacket you already own, and that fits 'loosely' while on your bike (factoring in any garments you wish to layer underneath). Being a lot thicker than most other jackets this adds to the overall chest width of the jacket. We encourage customers to measure something that's a similar style (such as a snow or a thick technical jacket) as this will ultimately be the best comparison in chest width.
Measure by laying your jacket flat on a table, and measure the chest, making sure to go from side seam to side seam (near the armpit like in the photo below). It's very important that you reach the seam join on each side, even if you have to bend a little around the sides of the jacket. Compare your measurement to the size chart above.
If you're unsure of your size, please EMAIL US at support@akinmoto.com, especially if you are an international customer. We are here to help and will do whatever we can to make sure you order the right size.
Model in the photos is 6ft, 83kgs, has a 100cm chest and is wearing a size Large.
I love this Jacket. It fits super well, stays dry and handles the UK's wind and rain extremely well. The magnet hood lock is ace and the jacket feels super comfortable on. I love the style and I am super pleased to have found Akin!! I'll be recommending this to everyone. Thanks gents.
Thanks for the review Joe, we're so stoked that you're loving the jacket and it's meeting all the needs for the UK riding conditions!
Unmatched quality and comfort. I would recommend akin moto to anyone 6/5 star.
Thank you for the review and the massive recommendation! We couldn't be happier to hear how comfortable it is!
This might just be my favourite jacket. It kept me bone dry when I was caught in a Melbourne downpour, and it has kept me warm on those frosty morning rides to work. The jacket overall has a slightly larger, loose fit, so if you are between sizes (small to medium), a small might provide a better fit.
Overall, it is a great jacket—comfortable and a reliable shield against all the elements.
Great jacket, easy to recommend 👍
Hi Marko, thank you for such an awesome review. We're so stoked that you're loving the jacket!
First ride was in the rain, outstanding comfort and I stayed dry. Ventilation was great and it looks 👌 quality of the zippers, stitching and material is very good.
Hey C.C. we're stoked to hear how well the Alpha Jacket went on the first ride! Thanks for the review!
Wore this with the Alpha pants on a 6-day, 2,000km ride from Ulaanbaatar to Khuvsgol Lake (and back) in Mongolia. Worked great and kept me warm and dry throughout.
Was kicking myself a bit for thinking "a white jacket is a good idea", but it washed off reasonably well.
My only complaint is even the S is a bit too big for me, fits across the shoulders but long on the torso and arms.
Thank you!
Thanks for the review and the feedback! That's awesome to hear how well the jacket went through the Mongolia trip!
