When Alpinestars<\/span> released the new SMX Air jacket, I was intrigued by its technical mesh fabric construction and extensive venting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I wanted to test it out myself to see if it could deliver on the key things I look for in a warm-weather riding jacket. Over the three weeks of testing, I evaluated the SMX Air on design, protection, comfort, and value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this review, I will share my experiences with the construction quality, protection capabilities, comfort, convenience features, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll get an insider’s look at how this jacket performed in<\/a> real-world conditions. I’ll also discuss expert opinions from across the industry and provide details on availability and pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, the main question I will answer in this review will be: Is this the best mesh motorcycle jacket<\/a> for you? Let’s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alpinestars<\/span> Smx Air Jacket<\/p> Key Takeaways<\/p> One of the standout features of the new SMX Air is the lightweight<\/span> polyester<\/span> mesh<\/strong> chassis developed by Alpinestars<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The material features large, open ventilation<\/span> panels across the chest and back to allow significant airflow to the core of the rider’s body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I found these ventilated mesh sections to be extremely effective at keeping me cool, even during 100-degree summer<\/span> riding sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lightweight<\/span> feel of the SMX Air jacket was noticeable right away. With the windproof liner removed, it weighs in at just 1.3kg in a size large. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The mesh fabric is stretchy and flexible, allowing for a slim, athletic fit that didn’t hinder my movement on the bike. Strategic stretch inserts have been placed along the sides of the torso and upper back panel for additional comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensure a perfect fit for your next ride by accurately measuring your chest, waist, arm, and height, as these measurements are crucial for selecting the right size of the Alpinestars<\/span> SMX Air Jacket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To assist you in finding the perfect fit, refer to the table below, which provides the measurement ranges for each size category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alpinestars<\/span> Men’s Textile Jacket Sizing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>
