Alpinestars Stella Andes v3 Jacket

Probably the best value for money jacket on the market

“I've had this jacket for just over a month. So far, I've ridden in temps between 40-75 degrees and one short rain storm. For under $300, I can't believe the quality of this jacket. Well made, great fit and really good features. I'm 5'8" 155lbs and a size M fits perfectly. Enough adjustment all over to keep it snug and enough room to layer up. The armor at elbows and shoulders is really comfortable. I haven't crashed in it, so I don't know if that really thin padding will protect as well as the older bioarmor does...my guess is no, but I'll trust that Alpinestars did their homework, and its ext”

Surprisingly breathable

“My last jacket was a Cortech mesh jacket, so I was on the fence about this one at first but decided to give it a go. The venting does a much better job than I thought it would, and it's easy to close up if it gets chilly. The jacket fits well, love the waterproof pocket for my registration paperwork. It is a little intrusive when it's closed up completely, the padding on the front collar presses on my throat a little bit, but I wouldn't say it's any more obtrusive than my helmet chinstrap. It's a little uncomfortable when I get the jacket on but I don't notice it when I get going. I'm sure it'”

Good fit

“Love this jacket. Got caught in the rain and went home dry. I'm 5'4 157lbs and had to get a XXL. I probably could of gotten one size smaller but it would of been a really snug fit. Jacket has Velcro strips that can customize the fit better if needed. I had to loosen mine fully.”

No complaints

“Absolutely wild that this actually fits me in an XL. I'm used to Astars sport gear that fits like youth sizing, but we got some in stock in my store and I tried it on for funsies and it ended up fitting like a glove, albeit a little tight in the arms with the liner in. I'm a 36C with a 35in waist, 8in torso and 44in hips and now I have a new winter jacket. I wish they'd size their sportier jackets like their touring line.”

Love it!

“Love it! It is comfortable, warm and thick with liners in it. I have more shoulder range of motion in this jacket than any others that I've tried. I also really appreciate that the jacket covers my butt while riding. Finally, a women's jacket that is flattering but not so awkwardly form fitting that it's restrictive. It feels thick and durable as well. I'm 5'6" 165 lbs and I opted for a size XL. I wear a size large Klim women's Artemis jacket ...so I would go one size up for alpinstars sizing if comparing to Klim. For reference, I also wear a size 42 Revitt leather jacket, size Large Spidi te”

Ladies Alpinestar Jacket

“Bought this for my wife and she really likes it. It looks good, has been quite durable, and is warm enough for most days except cold winter riding under 48 degrees. Women's size seems to be quite accurate.”

Not for summer heat

“Great option if you lean towards the cold nature. There are vent but minimal. So if you hot natured, maybe keep looking. As far as waterproof. Yes, day after day comfort Yes Get much above 80 degrees, not much ventilation The neck could be a little better cut. Trimmed a little section of the collar to allow it to open. Suit has about 8k in a years time of day after day touring. Its a valid choice for the right person.”

Great jacket with narrow shoulders

“Very beautiful well-made jacket the trim is orange not pink,FYI which I was happy about that. It fit everywhere except for the shoulders similar to Revit jackets about a size too small. I am going to try the male version and see if it fits any better. Very bummed as I really liked the look, feel, and features of the jacket. I bought the 2XL I'm 5'8 215lbs and carry most of my weight in my legs and rear end for reference typically wear size large shirts.”

Andes v3 jacket

“I loved the jacket but it didn't fit very well in the arms very tight around the arms and under the arms I was very disappointed but got start looking again anyways this jacket seemed very good for winter it was very warm i even got the 2x one figuring that i would have extra room i never bought 2x before I usually buy large but these euro size are crazy there just not for me”

“Loved the jacket.Very warm with the liner.I usually wear a small but glad I ordered a medium.”

Good quality

“Definitely not meant for warmer temperatures, just doesn't have enough vents. It should be great for the fall, winter and spring.”

elbow pocket?

“Nice Jacket, every feature you could want, except one I couldn't install upgraded elbow pads. And the ones it comes with are very thin. Otherwise a very well made Jacket and liner. Over all good bang for the buck.”
