Alpinestars Moflow Air Tech Hoody: Hot Weather Motorcycle Riding Gear Review

Design and Aesthetics

• 🎨 The Alpinestars Moflow Air Tech Hoody features an unapologetically sporty and urban street wear aesthetic, distinct from typical motorcycle hoodies.
• 💨 Its design intention is to look like stylish urban wear from Alpinestars, aiming to stand out in the market.

Hot Weather Performance

• 🌬️ The core feature is a full chassis of polyester mesh, designed to maximize airflow for superior performance during warm weather riding.
• ♨️ This mesh construction allows air to flow through to the rider, providing cooling and facilitating the exhaust of hot air.

Fit and Sizing

• 📏 For a rider at 6'3", 220 lbs with a 44" chest, an extra large provides a relaxed fit, allowing space for a back protector.
• ⚖️ If seeking a more aggressive or tighter fit, sizing down is recommended due to the garment's stretch properties.
• ⚠️ Sizing is crucial as the hoodie does not significantly break in, meaning the out-of-the-box fit is largely permanent.

Protection and Features

• 🛡️ The hoody has a CE Level A rating and includes included Nucleon Flex Plus armor (CE Level 1) at the shoulder and elbow.
• 💧 A notable feature is a waterproof stash pocket on the inside, offering protection for electronics in unexpected rain.
• 🔗 The hood has a snap at the back to prevent flapping at higher speeds, and the cuffs include thumb loops to keep the sleeves in place.

Material and Construction

• 🧵 The main construction is polyester mesh, with stretch panels integrated into the inner sleeves, armpits, and side hems for comfort and maneuverability.
• 🧦 The hood is non-removable and also made of polyester mesh, with adjustable cinch cords that are tacked down to prevent flapping.
• 💰 Priced at $250, it is available in sizes Small through 4XL and comes in three colorways: gray, another gray variant, and black.
