That's a nice jacket. I love my TZ-1's. They hook up to the matching leather pants. The things I love most about Alpinestar gear is the quality and style you get for the price. Except for the boots they look like power ranger wear.(I'll stick with my Vertibras)Never owned a pair but those are probably nice too.

 

Alpinestarts is nice, but expensive. I went with Joe Rocket because it has the most armor (forearms, elbows, shoulders, and back are standard). It also has the zipper for the pants and a removable liner. They also make officially licensed Honda gear so you can get a replica GP leather jacket that is VERY sweet. $0.02

 

i think im gonna go with a frank thomas jacket actually i tried it on today the armor feels solid, looks well vented 100 cheaper than the astars and icon

 

I havea Shift textile and a-stars stage jacket with the track pants. the textile is nice for around town and hot weather but when i wanna ride i gotta wear the stage jacket cause if i go down the rake they take the road rash out with looks like it hurts!! lol but i'd go with A-stars...when i see Icon it just makes me think squid for some reason...probly cause all the local kidz wear it

 

+1 on the Shift. I got this one last year and I like it alot.

 

Yea besides why pay good moneyt for ICON gear when Shift is always on clearance and on sale and they give that crap away...my 2 pennies...besides all their gear is boring....

 

id go with alpinestars just cause i love my jacket, feels solid and is a great looking jacked and didnt pay all that much for it but love it

 

I just got a Joe Rock Phoenix 4.0 on Thursday and I LOVE it - it's textile mesh but it's so much cooler than the leather. Of course we live in TX so that is a real concern for us.

 

hey c.love is that shift jacket urban camo cause one of my buddies likes the same one. it looks like it's just the way the picture was taken?
