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 sizes currently vary in terms of which Zeus Pro CE Level 2 Back Protector they require—either Regular or Large. Most sizes are compatible with the Large protector, but some still require Regular. If you're ordering a jacket and a back protector together, we’ll make sure you receive the correct size to match the jacket in your order. 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.
It's a great jacket. It feels nice and does keep me warm. I did get sizing help (I'm 178cm, 78kg) and they were very helpful. I ended up getting an M based on their recommendation but I think the small would of been the better option for me as even with a hoodie on underneath, it still feels a bit to loose, but not much. So for anyone with similar measurements to me, I'd recommend getting an S but I'd still also suggest reaching out to them for help.
Overall, great jacket, it's been keeping me warm this Australian winter and it looks good even off the bike
Hey Jay,
Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review – love hearing that you're enjoying the Alpha Jacket! Warmth is definitely where this jacket shines, so we're glad it's keeping you toasty through the Aussie winter. And yep, that clean styling makes it just as good off the bike too. Thanks as well for the detailed sizing notes – that's very helpful for others around the same build. Ride warm and stay sharp out there!
I wanted to try the Alpha Jacket but was unsure on the sizing since I am tall and skinny. Grant immediately followed up on my order to help me with sizing the jacket and went out of his way to get the right fit for me. In the end my proportions just didn't agree with the jacket design, which is a shame because it's a really well-built piece of kit and I'm sure I would have loved riding in it. Don't hesitate to reach out to the team at Akin moto! Super helpful, friendly and enjoyable experience and I look forward to interacting with them in the future.
Thanks heaps for the awesome review Connor! We're stoked to hear Grant could help you out with the sizing and make the whole process a good one, even if the Alpha Jacket didn’t quite work out this time. Totally understand how tricky it can be to find the perfect fit, especially with a unique build.
Really appreciate the kind words about the jacket and the team. Don’t hesitate to hit us up again, we’d love to help you find something that suits you down the track.

Used the jacket for the first time last weekend. 450km thru some of the best bitumen and gravel roads in northern nsw, and the rain, dirt, mud and beer just slid straight off it!
Hi Tony,
Thanks for the awesome feedback! Sounds like an epic 450km adventure through Northern NSW — glad to hear the jacket held up to the rain, mud, and even the stray beer! We're stoked it's doing exactly what it's meant to. Ride safe!
Jacket is beautiful and really well made. Looks and feels great. It's rare that a product lives up to the marketing with quality and fit/style but this one definitely does. Great company, great communication. Very happy, and looking forward to keeping warm and dry on the road this coming winter. thanks!
