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: 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.
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'm stoked with this jacket. It strikes a great balance between safety, comfort, and style. Whether you're commuting or hitting the open road, this jacket is a solid investment for any rider. It's standing up to the wild winter weather in Tassie, and has the ability to be used in summer. 5 stars guys well done
Thanks so much for the awesome review, Seb! We're stoked to hear the jacket’s holding up through Tassie’s wild winter and proving itself as a proper all-rounder. Great to know it’s ticking the boxes for comfort, safety, and style. Really appreciate the support—enjoy the ride!
What a great jacket! I couldn’t be happier glad I made the choice. So comfortable, it is my go to jacket everyday.
Cheers for the awesome feedback Darren! We're stoked to hear it's become your go-to jacket. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
I love this jacket. Super comfortable, feels solid, decent train protection, love the contrast for visibility on the road. The one issue I had was within weeks of buying, the right hand external pocket zip came unattached from the jacket just from the act of opening and closing it a few times. Hopefully a one off manufacturing issue, but frustrating as it's no longer rain resistant for me.
Hey Jemi,
Thanks so much for the honest review – we really appreciate you taking the time. Stoked to hear you’re loving the jacket overall and that it’s ticking the boxes for comfort, quality feel, and visibility on the road. That’s exactly what we’re aiming for!
Sorry to hear about the issue with the pocket zipper – definitely not what we want for anyone’s experience. We’re keen to get it sorted for you so we've reached out to you directly to make sure you're properly looked after.
Thanks again for the support,
You guys have outdone yourselves!!! I just received my Alpha 4.0 jacket in white and this jacket is amazing! I tell ya, I’ve bought a lot of expensive jackets in my time but this one is sensational. I would have paid at least $700-800 for something like this PLUS from an Aussie company to boot. I’ll post some pics with my bike on socials later. Well done AKIN MOTO and thanks.
Hey Richard — wow, what a review! Thanks so much for the kind words. We're stoked to hear the Alpha 4.0 in white has blown you away — especially coming from someone who's clearly no stranger to quality gear. We put a lot into designing jackets that punch well above their weight, so your feedback means the world to us.
Can’t wait to see your pics with the bike — be sure to tag us so we can share the love!
Ride safe and thanks again for the support.
I've been a fan of Akin since the Battlevest, which I've worn on nearly every ride for the last two years and it's seen my through two winters of comfortable riding. Since changing my ride from a retro racer to a cruise for regular commutes and long weekend rides, I wanted something with a bit more practicality and so looked into the Alpha Jacket 4.0. my battle vest was an XL and fit comfortably over jackets. I originally opted for the same in the Alpha, but it turned out to be but more restrictive when I first put it on. I was right on the edge of just keeping the XL but opted for the next size up so that I could comfortably put layers on underneath. So err on the larger size if you're wanting to do the same. That said, first time putting the jacket on and I could see and feel the impressive build quality. I've since worn the jacket every day for the last 3 week in cold morning and raining nights and have felt warm and protected. The long sleeves and the high collar keep the chill and water out. The armour placements are solid (I supplied my own from a previous jacket which fit fine). I feel super enclosed when I ride. The hood magnet is great. The only downside is that the jacket is a tad too long and tends to bunch up once I'm seated, but a simply fold and tuck of the excess seems to solve that problem. So, a pretty small downside at that. Overall, it's been a great value purchase that I love wearing every time I ride.
Hey Cam, stoked to hear you’ve been with us for so long! Love that the Alpha 4.0 is ticking all the boxes for comfort, protection and practicality. Great shout on the sizing tip too—always handy for other riders. Appreciate the support and hope it keeps serving you well out on the road!
