Alpinestar vs Dainese

[COWBOY]

Another vote for the Dainese suits here. 

The lower end a* stuff didn't seem much different than a Berick or MotoGP suit.  The higher end stuff didn't fit as well and the leather was much stiffer.

That being said if I was spending the dollars on another high end suit I'd probably end up with a Kushitani.  When I put my jacket on and zip it up it's like sliding into a new set of skin but doesn't feel restrictive in the least.  It's my best fitting and most used daily jacket (dragon perf).  For weekend rides when I'm wearing full gear -- I switch to my Dainese Bora/Dragonfly combo which I like very much as well.

the 56 didnt fit across the shoulders well... went with the 58 and it still fits me snug enough you can see my nuts through them... I'll post pics if you guys really want  lol

Absolutely!
(After all, why should I hog all the abuse!)

<coming late to the game, as usual>

having just tried on both brands (jacket only) i can actually add some insight.
(what you make of it is another story)

both are well made and were a good fit for me (EURO 54). the dainese seemed a little more supple. the deciding factors for me was that i did no like the reversed zipper on the dainese (and i got the A* for 215.00)  [moto]
