- Alpinestars SP-1 Airflow Leather Jacket Review
www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/a...
The Alpinestars SP-1 Airflow Jacket brings together summer airflow with a classic look and leather main outer shell in the way that very few others are able to do. With an outer shell that is constructed of a combination of 1.3mm premium perforated leather and stretch poly-textile panels, the SP-1 Airflow Jacket is all about keeping cool in both aesthetic, and body temperature. Additional features of the SP-1 Airflow motorcycle jacket include a snap button system for the incorporation of the Level 2 Alpinestars Nucleon back protector, removable CE-certified internal protectors, and a fixed mesh lining that allows for added circulation of air throughout the interior. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Phenomenal reviews. Revzilla is brilliant. Thank you.
I wish they had gone with blacked out logos on this like they have done on the Jagg pants.
You’re really good at this. Thx
Thank's for this good presentation!
Does exsist a similar jacket (full perforated front and back) but in light color?! In the past A* used to have some models, but now i cannot find anything (also of different brands)
Just standing at a crossroads a couple of minute with black jacket under the burning sun is a pain...
Thanks
P.S. sorry for my bad english
Looks like the Airflow version is only available in US. I don’t get it, because in Europe we have really hot and humid days.
What are the actual differences between the SP-1, Jaws, GP plus R V2, Faster airflow and Fuji models ?
All use 1.3mm leather, but the leather quality is better in the more expensive jackets you've listed. That's why the Faster is most affordable. The GP Plus and Fuji use the most leather, which adds to their cost. The Fuji is also more expensive due to the larger DFS external shoulder sliders and included thermal liner. The Jaws also includes a thermal liner but is a little more affordable now that it's on closeout. -DrewZilla
I'm looking at this jacket along with the Jaws V3 and GP-R V2. Is there a whole lot of difference between them?
I'd like to be able to take it to the track maybe once or twice a year before buying a dedicated 1 piece.
The Jaws V3 and GP-R v2 aren't offered here in the US, so we haven't been able to look at them closely enough. However, they both seem to have similar quality and protection. The GP-R v2 is Tech-Air compatible, though, so it can accept an airbag. The SP-1 Airflow has a simpler construction compared to the other two, which is why it's a bit more affordable. All three would be acceptable for occasional track days. -DrewZilla
What leather pants would you pair with this jacket - in the same street/sport vain?
I'd pair this jacket with the Jagg Airflow Pants. -DrewZilla

will i ever hear hi-viz brizzle speak?
Would you choose this over the GP Plus R v2? What would be the advantages, disadvantages? Naked bike, long torso
Already bought the Sp-1 V2 (non-airflow for German climate)
They both offer very similar protection, so it's mostly a style difference. The SP-1 has a sleeker/more muted look with more black. -DrewZilla
Hi Revzilla, I just bought an SP-1 Jacket from a local store in NZ, my chest is 107cm and my waist is 106cm, I'm 5'10, I've bought a size 52 euro, do you think I've gone too big or too small?
With a back protector, it should feel pretty snug. 52 seems correct. -DrewZilla
@@RevZilla Can you recommend a snap on back protector that works with this jacket please
It has a pocket for the street Nucleon back protector inserts as well as a snap for the race-style Nucleon. -DrewZilla

Hi viz Brizz is like a royal guard looking all still and trying hard to not crack a smile. Be a good Batman Brizzle! Unlike Ben Afflack. Lol. Jacket is dope though! I am kinda stuck between this and the street darker jacket from Dianesse. Any input on fit and finish between the two? The sp-1 looks a little more relaxed. IMO. Price is right too. 👊🏼
Both jackets are well-constructed, but the feel of the Dainese leather is more luxurious. You're right that the SP-1 is a bit more relaxed, while the Street Darker is slimmer. At the price of the SP-1, there isn't a better leather jacket, but the Street Darker is also worth its price. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Right on. Figured the leather on the Dainese was going to be a higher quality. Both definitely seem well constructed though. The price point on most AStars gear is more practical. Gonna be a tough decision. I appreciate the quick response!
If im medium US, should I buy a large for this?
These come in European numeric sizes. If you're a US medium, you're likely a 48, 50, or 52. You can use the size chart on the product page to get a better idea. -DrewZilla

What the difference between this and the Alpinestars SP-X Leather Jacket ?
I believe the SP-X is only available in Europe. From what I can tell it's pretty similar, but since we're not in Europe I can't provide much info on it, I'm afraid. -Kraus-e
Thank you :) !
You're welcome!
Hi Paul
Did you find any information on this? I have the same issiue
difference between this and the devon perf version?
The SP-1 uses 1.3mm leather and does not have a thermal liner, whereas the Devon uses slightly lighter and more flexible 1.1mm leather and includes a removable thermal liner. The Devon also has a slightly more accommodating fit appropriate for sport touring. -DrewZilla

so which flows more air? i ride sportbikes just need something that is wearable on a hot summer day in ny. also if you know of any mesh equivalent that will keep me protected at highway speed. thanks
One upgrade goodie that this jacket did not get is the upgrade to CE-certified Level 2 armor (elbows and shoulders) that other second-iteration jackets from Alpinestars did get. In any case, it's very easy to slap in some high-end Level-2 CE-certified armor from SAS-TEC, d3O, Forcefield, etc.
As an example, for Alpinestars' ladies jackets, I like to slap in the 1/42 Prestige limb armor from SAS-TEC which, to date, is the most protective limb armor available (8.5kN residual force in the 1621-1:2012 CE certification. That's enough impact absorption for Level-2 certification for actual BACK protectors, which require even more impact absorption to qualify as Level 2 in the 1621-2:2014 CE certification. Mind blown!).
The 1/42 Prestige armor pad fits in perfectly in Alpinestars ladies' sport-cut jackets (and men's jackets) and we've reviewed both Alpinestars' ladies jackets and the actual SAS-TEC 1/42 Prestige limb armor, so I can guarantee any folks reading this that they can upgrade the SP-1's limb armor to the magnificent SAS-TEC 1/42 Prestige armor and similarly-sized limb armor (I've measured lots of body armor as I personally have over 60 pairs of all sorts of body armor and brands, so feel free to ask if unsure as I probably own any protectors you may have in mind).
Dimensions for the SAS-TEC 1/42 Prestige limb armor is 10 inches long x 7.2 inches wide x 0.7 inches thick. The review for the 1/42 Prestige is on our site and this particular limb protector is not easy to get (comes straight from Germany). Would love to see Revzilla stocking this given protector.
Just wanted to add this comment as extra info to this great Revzilla review for those wanting to buy this excellent A* jacket and wanting CE Level-2 limb protection instead of the stock CE level-1 protection. Thanks for reading!
EDIT: just wanted to add, so as to re-assure everyone, that the SAS-TEC 1/42 Prestige armor pads go in as ELBOW armor in this jacket, NOT as shoulder armor (there are other superb Level-2 protectors from different brands to be had).
My height is 5"4 feet And I am fat which size is suitable for me
My measurement is
chest - 41 cm
Belly - 43 cm
Waist - 41 cm
Shoulder - 18 cm
My weight is 82 kg
Are you able to provide your chest and waist circumference? Please use the size chart linked below for reference. See the *HOW TO MEASURE* diagram. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-sp-1-airflow-jacket#size_chart_tab
RevZilla chest - 102 cm
Belly - 110 cm
Waist - 103 cm
Arm - 55 cm
Height - 5''4 feet ( around 161 to 164 cm )
Ok thanks. In that case, you could probably wear size 50 Euro. -DrewZilla
Hi Vizzle Brizzle, ready to sizzle
Hhhhhhh i likee this introduction
gonna go watch Ben Affleck batman after this
To me, it seems that A* quality and protection seem to be lacking, but the price is still high.
Looks like the Airflow version is only available in US. I don’t get it, because in Europe we have really hot and humid days.
