Had an Andes . Wore it out. Bought a rukka jacket off here and not used Alpinwstars kit since. I’d buy it again. The matching pants seem to rate well too. It’s good looking and good value gear but you get what you pay for and it will wear out faster than a premium brand. Saying that, I’d buy Andes again.

Brother in law had the Andes jacket and trousers and when he temporarily gave up bikes due to his bad knee he sold them (he regretted it ) and said it was some of the best kit he has owned and was looking for another set

I have an Alpinestars jacket bought from sports bike shop which is great. Was bought in Xmas sale so good value. I’m n Finland today so I’ll check exactly which.

Have a pair of Knox jeans fitted with ghost armour which are super comfy
