The different protections that are in the jacket are very well integrated, allowing a great freedom of movement. Without a doubt this is one of the most sporting jackets in the Alpinestars range. The feeling on the bike allows us to be focused on driving. The cuffs are finished in neoprene for better comfort and the neck is also composed of a textured 3D fabric, while the back is lower than the front, designed to cover the entire back when we drive the motorcycle.Īfter testing it, we can say that the Missile is really comfortable and its weight is relatively small, even and with the hump and different protections. ![]() The elastic accordion panels, located on shoulders and back, are positioned strategically to facilitate the movements on the bike.
