Which one in your opinion?

[YUN]

Hi all,

I recently purchased a Alpinestar Leather Jacket (1st pic) - but i've recently noticed the Dianese little number (pic 2 and 3).
In your opinion, which one would be better?

Opinions welcome since i'm totally double-minded.

Personally I wouldn't buy either of them, white leather is an absolute bugger to keep looking clean and good.

Just think of all the dead insects you're going to have to wipe off it and all the bits of insect ick that will stain it never mind the rest of the road-filth, oil and other day-to-day stuff that you are likely to get all over it!

After the stuff I've heard about Dainese or Alpinestars, neither of them.

Alpinestars based on the front views only since you didnt post a rear view of the Alpinestars one.

[lofty]

I voted alpinestars... the other one looks slightly odd fitting across the shoulders/chest!

[AJI]

Alpinestars looks a bit better in my eyes, and the Dainese model isn't my type so no vote swaying there

I've had both Dainese and Alpinestar suits, trousers, jackets and gloves at some point and have to say that AP quality is pish and Dainese is top notch. Others might disagree but I think the Dainese one looks nicer too.

[Reppyboyo]

White leathers are a bitch to clean.

[Wave2k]

[dainesefreak]

I've found that Alpinestars are usually a larger sized fit than the Dainese kit, in mens sizes that is. I've also found that the fobs on the zips tend to break on Dainese stuff after a while too, although I wouldn't trust A*'s kit in a proper off as my boots disintegrated at less than 30 mph in a slide.

I think as with most stuff these days the quality can vary depending on which sweat shop it's been made in. Find them both in the shops and try them on, have a good look at the sticthing and finish and then ordered them for cheaper off the web.

My Dainese jeans and jacket have been through 2 offs in about 10 years and are only just battle scarred.

[fourten]

I voted alpinestars

[Mr Nice Guy]

Can we see pictures of you in both???

I highly doubt the lads down at J&S would mind. Remember, for safety, TIGHT is good.

thanks everyone for the feedback.

As suggested by dainesefreak I will go to Heingericke and try them both on and check stitching etc.

ps: the Alpinestar is supertight as it is.....i can barely move or breathe!
