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: Our Alpha Jacket takes our Zeus Pro CE Level 2 Back Protector in Large, however previous batches of this jacket may require Regular. If you’re purchasing a back protector separately, or need one for a different Akin Moto jacket, please email us first to confirm which size you need.
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.

Firstly, shout out to Grant, he's one of the main reasons I got this jacket and I can see he's helped a lot of people like me do the same. Every company needs a Grant lol.
Got the Alpha jacket today and couldn't be more happy. Was looking around for so long through so many local suppliers in NZ to find something that looks good and gives great protection in all weather conditions - this jacket does all that plus the price is really competitive, even with shipping to NZ. Great bang for buck, highly recommend!
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this review Gair, we really appreciate it!
We're so stoked to hear the Alpha 4.0 ended up being your choice after such a long search locally in NZ. Hearing that it still won on value even with international shipping means a lot to us.
We really appreciate that it's ticking all the boxes in looking good, as well as providing great protection and keeping you coveraged in all weather conditions.
Thanks again for the kind words - we're always happy to help riders feel confident in the choice over email and assist in any way needed. Enjoy the jacket and ride safe!
5 years ago, I bought the original Alpha jacket...and it recently had some minor issues. I sent Grant and Max a few photos of what had occurred (with no demands or expectations and acknowledging that the jacket had been awesome for 5 years!) and received an email back that same day expressing their apologies for the issues, accompanied by an offer too good to refuse on the new version, the Alpha 4.0.
A fews days later and my new jacket has arrived, and is sensational.
I loved the old one and wore it while riding all over the world.
It toured Tasmania, regularly accompanied me around Victoria as well as going to the USA and South Africa...and it never let me down.
I look forward to this new one (with all it's amazing improvements and new features) accompanying me to various parts of the world on whatever riding adventures lay ahead.
Great products are good to find, but when they are paired with outstanding customer service that goes many extra miles, they earn customers for life.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review Tex!
It genuinely means a lot to hear how far your original Alpha jacket travelled with you and the role it played in so many riding memories over the years. Being able to tackle riding across many continents is exactly what we design our gear for, so knowing it held up and never let you down for those trips is incredibly rewarding to hear.
I’m also glad we were able to look after you and get you sorted into the Alpha 4.0. Hearing that the new jacket has arrived and that you’re enjoying the improvements makes the process worthwhile.
We truly appreciate the trust you’ve shown in us over such a long period, and we’re stoked to know the Alpha 4.0 will be joining you on many more adventures around the world.
Thanks again for your support and for being part of the Akin Moto community.
I finally pulled the trigger during the Black Friday sale. I've had my eye on this jacket for a while, so I'm really happy I got it at a discount.
【Design & Functionality】
The design is absolutely fantastic - I love it! This jacket is going to be perfect for the cold season ahead.
【Bonus】
What really made me happy was getting the AKIN MOTO sticker included! Is there any way to purchase just different varieties of stickers? (lol)
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a motorcycle jacket with both style and functionality!

Hi T.O,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this - it’s great to hear the jacket’s been such a good match for what you were looking for. The design and cold-weather performance are two things we put a lot of work into, so it’s really nice to know you are very happy with it.
And I’m glad the sticker made your day. We don’t currently offer mixed sticker packs on their own, but you’re not the first to ask, so it’s definitely something we’re looking into for the future.
Really appreciate the recommendation, and if you ever need a hand with anything down the track, feel free to reach out.
I got my jacket today after work , I not had the chance to use it yet but fits good , good quality build to and seems very comfortable to try on can’t wait to use it on the weekend, should be very warm in the Tassie winter thanks guys well done
Thanks so much for the review David! Glad to hear the jacket fits well and feels comfortable straight out of the box. Sounds like it’s landed just in time for a few cold Tassie rides — we hope it keeps you warm and comfortable out there. Appreciate you taking the time to share your first impressions, and we’d love to hear how it goes once you’ve had a few rides in it!
I’ve owned the 2.1, 3.0 and now the 4.0. The jacket has a good fit for layering up. I bought this jacket over other big name brands, as it’s a jack of all trades kind of jacket. It does well in keeping me dry in the wet. Keeps me warm in the colder mornings. Will wait till summer to test the vents out as the weather gets warmer. Overall, I’m happy with this jacket. Looking forward to future iterations.
Thanks so much for the review Victor! We're stoked to hear you've been with the Alpha Jacket since the 2.1 days! It's awesome knowing it's been your go-to for such a long time, and that the 4.0 is continuing to deliver across the changing conditions. Appreciate you bringing up the versatility too - that balance of all-weather function and everyday wearability is exactly what we set out to build into the Alpha range.
Let us know how the venting holds up once the summer heat kicks in — always keen to hear real-world feedback as we keep evolving the design. Thanks again for the ongoing support!
