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.

Bought this jacket as a winter/wet option, took it out while the weather was warm but wet, with lining out and vents open, what a surprise feeling the airflow and also staying completely dry from the rain. Out did my expectations!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience Steve! We're stoked to hear the Alpha 4.0 jacket handled the wet conditions so well and the airflow from the vents kept you comfortable while still keeping out the rain. It’s always awesome when gear surprises you in a good way. Thanks again!
As stated in description make sure you use the size guide! Dont just assume!! Im usually a 2xl and i ordered the 3xl and its a snug fit with only a tshirt underneath. If they bring a bigger size out I will 100% order a new one and give my current one away. Awesome jacket and looks really good. Looking foward to my winter rides and not freezing my arse off! Same applies with the 2.0 pants, use the size chart. Hopefully they bring out bigger sizes! Love akin moto!!
Hi Luke,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave a review - we really appreciate it, and also appreciate you pointing other riders toward the size guide. Our riding gear does fit a little differently to a lot of other brands, so checking the guide first is always the best move. If anyone is unsure, they’re always welcome to reach out to us via email as well and we’re more than happy to help dial in the right size before ordering.
We also really appreciate the feedback about offering larger sizes. Input like this is genuinely helpful for us when we’re planning future production runs.
I’ve just sent you a quick email as well to see what we can do to help with the fit of your jacket.
Thanks again for the support, and we’re glad to hear you’re looking forward to those winter rides without freezing!
I bought this jacket and it has withstood the harshest conditions I’ve seen.
It holds up very very well in the rain and is well insulated. With the liner I have not been too hot or too cold, but just right, with only a T shirt underneath. Touring the South Island of New Zealand was incredibly comfortable, 10/10 recommend
This jacket far exceeded my requirements and expectations, and I think is very well priced for the quality you are getting.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review Sam, we really appreciate it.
That's awesome to hear how well the Alpha 4.0 handled the harsh conditions of the South Island. The mixed weather from your trip would be a proper test for any jacket, so knowing it exceeded your requirements and kept you comfortable with just a tee underneath is incredible.
We’re also stoked to hear you feel the quality stacks up against the price - we defintiely work very hard on that balance.
Thanks again for the recommendation and for backing us. Ride safe and enjoy the rest of the adventures ahead.
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.
