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.
Not surprised by the quality of the Alpha Jacket. I had the 3.0 for a few years, and it quickly became my favourite motorcycle jacket. Protective, waterproof, flexible with removeable liner for summer/winter. I love the additions of the magnetic hood holder and additional venting.
Expect a few years of wear from the 4.0.
Appreciate you taking the time to leave this review Dan - and it’s awesome to hear the Alpha 3.0 served you so well over the years and has given you complete confidence in the 4.0. We really value that kind of long-term feedback, as well as highlighting the updated features found in the latest jacket. Here’s to many more rides ahead in it!
Love the style, the comfort is next level and the teams service was second to none. VERY supportive and totally in communication each time.
Thanks so much Leigh, really appreciate the kind words! We're stoked to hear you're loving the jacket, and it's great to know our team looked after you throughout. If there's ever anything else we can help with down the track, don't hesitate to reach out.
Where to start? From the get go, the customer service was absolutely incredible (shout-out Grant). He was quick to respond, provide advice and help me out. The jacket itself is the most comfortable thing I've ever worn on a motorbike, and it's been a go to off the bike too. The venting, the lining, the comfort and the style is everything I could want from a jacket. Even with a full set of armour in, I cant even feel it. Been riding in weather from 5° and wind to 28° and sun and this jackets been amazingly comfortable and versatile. If you're on the fence, just get it! (The alpha gloves to go are *chefs kiss*)
Cheers for such an awesome review Byron! Really appreciate the kind words!
We're so stoked the Alpha Jacket 4.0 has lived up to the name and keeps you stoked in both comfort and airflow, while providing cover from the rain and cold as well as protection from any dramas on the road. That's aewsome to hear it's also become a goto off the bike too! Glad you’re enjoying the full setup with the Alpha Gloves as well, it's definitely the perfect combo. Appreciate the support legend! Ride safe and hope it keeps serving you well for many seasons to come.
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!
