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.
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.
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!
Bottom line: Incredible quality, well engineered features, fine attention to detail, phenomenal customer service, and supporting an Aussie business! Would recommend!
I’ve had this jacket and the alpha pants for just under a week and have ridden with it on cold mornings and some foul weather.
On first impressions the quality stood out. The seams, stitching and zippers were crisp and felt well made.
On cold wet mornings, the jacket even without the liner is nice and warm and kept me dry. The liner is great feature that I’ll be sure use on longer rides.
The white on the jacket gets dirty quickly on wet days but also super easy to clean. I just run it under the shower for a few seconds and it looks good as new!
One small nitpicky point is that it would be handy if the key clip was on both sides of the jacket pocket. This would be useful as garage door key fob readers are on to the right side of the road.
Cheers for the review and the support! We're really stoked that you're loving the jacket and really appreciate the feedback as well!
Was sceptical of the price when ordering something online without trying on first but once arrived could see the clear quality, the little extras down to the magnet in the hood to stop it flapping around was very impressed, after taking it for the first ride on a cold night there was no wind chill at all and extremely warm
Only downside I could say about it is it’s a little uncomfy around the inside of the elbows compared to the rest of the jacket but as soon as your riding you don’t notice it at all
Great jacket overall would highly recommend, well worth the money
Hi Reece, Thank you very much for the thorough review and recommendation! We're so stoked to hear how impressed you are with the extras in the jacket and the overall quality. Thanks again!
