Alpinestars Mens Motorcycle Jacket MX-1 I recently watched a TV documentary on the workings of the Alpinestars factory in Italy. I was more than impressed with the attention to detail of everyone featured, from the engineers to the testers and fabricators. They all seemed passionate about producing a quality product. There is little doubt why Alpinestars is one of the most recognizable and most trusted names in motorcycle protective gear.

I have owned the Alpinestars TZ-1 leather jacket. It was an extremely well made jacket that inspired confidence. The MX-1 is, by reputation, a slightly lighter and better venting variation of the fine Alpinestars jacket. The jacket is constructed of 1.2-1.4mm full-grain leather. It includes Alpinestar's exclusively-patented external high modulus thermoplastic protection on the shoulders. Out back, the MX-1 has a ventilated back hump for improved aerodynamics and ventilation. The jacket can be upgraded with Alpinestars CE armor in the back and chest compartments. Neoprene cuff and collar details add a nice level of comfort in those areas.

The MX-1 is offered in European sizes 46-60. The color combinations are all black, and blue and red variations. Rider reviews on the MX-1 are overwhelmingly positive. It is simply another great offering by Alpinestars.
