Yes ive got a blue leather one with white stripe very retro very cool it is quite warm and zips together with bat pants very well its not a race jacket but still has all the protection but is much more comfortable than a race suit also dosent make you look like a powerranger.

I've just bought one in black and gray (so it doen't matter if I change the bike), I also have the bat pants.

I really like the jacket, just have one question...
What side of the main zip (as you wear it) is the puller on.

i.e a puller

Similar question, does anyone own a Alpinestars Stunt jacket, what are they like and what is the difference between them and the dyno ? Is it just the style and colour?

I'm toying with getting one or the other

cheers

My neighbour has a Stunt jacket I think it is essentially the same as the Dyno, but the leather is 1.2-1.4 rather than 1.1 on the Dyno.

However, most reviews say that the 1.1 is more than sufficient for protection on the road, and the Dyno provides greater comfort than the stunt.

I have the Dyno, and I don’t have any complaints about it what so ever. I think if I had the stunt jacket I would:

A: Look like an ‘all the gear no idea’ type on my 125.
B: be absolutely boiling hot (the Dyno is warm, but I would want it any hotter)

I highly recomend it.

Mine has it on the right, I was worried I'd spent £280 on a bent jacket Embarassed
Funny but, with the Alpinestars suits it seems to be the on the left, but on all the Alpinestars jackets they had it was on the right?

The jacket also looks good just with jeans, so if your just nipping down the shops you can just pop on the jacket and still look the business.

cheers,

by the way I would not worry about the "all the gear no idea" thing, I used to belong to another forum (the one that claims not to take things seriously but in fact does) and people were often moaning about the "all the gear" thing or "power rangers" well so what at least they are correctly dressed, it's twats in t shirts and short that every one should moan about !
