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.

I was a little hesitant about ordering a motorcycle jacket online without being able to try it on first, but I needn’t have worried.
The communication from Grant was excellent from the outset, particularly when it came to sizing advice. His guidance was spot on, and the jacket arrived here in Western Australia within a week.
The quality really is second to none. There are so many great design touches - you can just tell it’s been designed by a motorbike enthusiast!! After more than 30 years of riding, I can honestly say it’s already the favourite motorcycle jacket I’ve owned.
The fit is great too. I’m 5’11” and 80kg, and the LARGE fits perfectly.
Based on both the quality of this jacket, the customer service, and as an Aussie owned company, I’ll definitely be looking at other Akin Moto products in the future !!
Thanks again.
So happy with my purchase, as a fairly new rider it’s pretty hit and miss for some brands in terms of matching aesthetic with comfort and protection, this kills it in all 3 categories, looks great, super comfy and all the protection needs covered. Not to mention amazing customer service. Support Aus businesses
I got to use the jacket for the first time, it was around 12 degrees in Canberra and overcast. With a tee shirt and light pullover, the Alpha 4 (with liner) was very warm and comfortable. I can easily see this being warm at zero or below with appropriate thermals. Fit is good, and very comfortable.
One minor criticism, the snap 2nd from the top is not quite strong enough. With the top snap undone, when I turn my head the 2nd snap releases. This in no way a major issue, and with the top snap done up it holds firm.
Definitely going to be by daily jacket throughout late autumn, winter, and early spring.
Thanks for taking the time to share this detailed feedback Tony
We're stoked the Alpha 4.0 has been keeping you warm and comfortable in the Canberra conditions - it sounds like it’s performing well for your setup with the liner and light layering.
Appreciate you flagging the snap issue as well - I've reached out to you directly as I may have a solution that will help out.
We're really glad to hear the jacket has earned a spot in your daily rotation through the cooler months.
I honestly can't recommend this jacket enough.
Being quite skinny, I've always had to wear 4/5 layers during winter rides just to stay warm, which can make riding uncomfortable. After a few emails back and forth with Grant to find the right size for my needs, we landed on the perfect fit.
Now I ride wearing this jacket on its own, even in cold conditions, and I genuinely can't feel any wind or chill coming through. I was absolutely blown away by how warm and comfortable it is.
The look is incredible too, photos don't do it justice. On my very first ride, multiple people commented on how sleek and premium it looked, and they were genuinely surprised when I told them it's AA-rated.
With the back protector and forearm armour installed (which you CANT feel is there), the jacket still remains incredibly comfortable. It's one of the few pieces of riding gear I've owned that I can happily wear off the bike without feeling bulky or uncomfortable, while still having the confidence of full protection.
I now own both the Stealth Jeans and the Alpha Jacket, and together they make an incredibly comfortable, stylish, and protective setup for anyone wanting a more casual look without compromising on safety.
A huge thank you to Max and Grant for creating such an amazing product and providing exceptional customer service. The combination of quality, comfort, protection, and support has completely exceeded my expectations.
Highly recommended. 🏍️🔥
Thanks so much for the incredible review, Eilam.
We're stoked to have helped you find the right size and I'm really glad we could get the fit dialled in. Hearing that you're now comfortably riding through winter in just the Alpha Jacket is fantastic feedback, especially knowing how difficult it can be to stay warm when you're on the slimmer side.
We're also stoked to hear you're enjoying the balance of comfort, protection and everyday wearability. A lot of thought went into making sure the armour stays unobtrusive while still providing the protection riders need, so it's great to hear that's been your experience.
Thank you as well for the kind words about both the jacket and the Stealth Jeans. Hearing they're working together as the comfortable, casual riding setup you were hoping for means a lot to us.
We really appreciate your support and the time you've taken to share such detailed feedback. Enjoy the rides ahead and thanks for being part of the Akin Moto community.
Was a bit hesitant buying online and not being able to try on first. Followed the instructions to figure out my size, pulled the trigger and ordered. Ordered on a Saturday and was delivered to Canberra on the Tuesday - Perfect size!. Jacket fits great, looks great and performs even better. With the Canberra morning temps dropping (hovering around 6 degrees at the moment) I have been layering up a bit (t shirt, flanny, spray jacket, summer bike jacket). So when the jacket arrived I was keen to get it on and test it out. Just a t shirt underneath this jacket and no worries at all. It’s only going to get colder here in Canberra but I’m not worried at all with this jacket. Heaps of good features and ventilation (if needed in warmer months). Reading all the great reviews really did help me decide to give this jacket a go. I’m so glad I got it, worth every cent and good supporting an Aussie company making quality products.
Thanks so much Matthew, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We know buying riding gear online without trying it on first can feel like a bit of a gamble, so it’s awesome to hear the sizing guide got you into the perfect fit first go.
We're stoked the Alpha 4.0 has already proven itself in the cold Canberra mornings too. The balance of warmth, comfort and ventilation was something we spent a long time refining with this jacket, so hearing feedback like this means a lot to us.
We really appreciate the support for our small Aussie brand. Reviews like yours help other riders feel confident giving our gear a go, just like the reviews helped you. Thanks again mate and enjoy the rides through winter.
