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 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.
Got this for winter riding but have already put it on a few rides when it has been chilli in the mornings. Definitely a 3 season jacket as it gets too warm even without the liner and the vents open. The hoodie is for when off the motorcycle but the new magnet fastening for it is perfect when riding at high speeds. It's also removable if not needed.
I like how the pockets are lined making them perfect hand warmers and how there are ample storage solutions. I appreciate the minimum logos. The thermal liner is really good and the waterproofing is top notch.
Things that could be improved are things like the fitment of the jacket. I think the size is great for me standing but there is slight tightness around the shoulders/armpit area when on the bike. A bit of accordion stretch in those areas would have been welcome. I have added d3o slim lvl2 armour so it's not making things as bulky as some other armour either.
I also wish some sort of attachment mechanism to the pants was there.
Other than those few things the experience has been great. Looking forward to using it extensively.
Thanks for the detailed feedback, Kon - really appreciate you taking the time to share this.
It's great to hear the Alpha Jacket is performing well for the colder rides and that the liner, waterproofing, and storage are all doing their job. We also appreciate the notes around shoulder mobility and jacket-to-pants connection - it's genuinely helpful as we continue refine future versions of the Alpha Jacket.
Thanks again for your support, and we hope it continues to serve you well through the season.
Being new to road riding finding the right product was super important to me and safety being the number one priority. After reading all the positive reviews on these jeans I knew I was on a winner. Product arrived within a couple days of ordering and I was able to try the jacket out that day. super comfortable and even on a hot day the jacket did not feel too cumbersome. The removable liner is great and now I’ve got an all year round jacket. I’ve paired these with the stealth jeans and not only look great but I feel comfortable and properly protected. Awesome gear from an Aussie brand will be buying more gear for sure.
Hey Seb, thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review - we really appreciate it.
Stoked to hear the Alpha 4.0 has been a solid fit for you, especially as you’re getting into road riding. Putting safety first is huge, so it’s great to know the jacket feels comfortable, protective, and not overly heavy.
While the jacket is skewed towards winter and wet weather riding, the removable liner definitely makes it much more versatile for warmer days, so I’m glad that’s been working well for you.
It genuinely means a lot to have that support for an Aussie brand, and we’re pumped to have you riding in our gear.
If you ever need sizing advice or have questions about anything else down the track, feel free to reach out. Thanks again for the support.
This jacket is amazing
I'm an Aussie down in Tassie and it get really wet and cold down here but this jacket is my saving grace everything on it is such high quality and the attention to detail is amazing. I've had other jackets in the past but I believe I've found the one once I need a new one (if I ever do) I'll be for sure buying one of these again.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this Colby, we really appreciate it.
Great to hear the Alpha 4.0 is doing its job down in Tassie. Wet, cold conditions are exactly what we had in mind when designing that jacket, so it’s reassuring to know it’s keeping you comfortable where it counts. The feedback around build quality and the finer details means a lot to us as well.
Stoked to hear it’s earned a permanent spot in your riding gear. Cheers for the support, and ride safe!
