Alpinestars Jacket is like new. I tried it on two short rides. It is very nice but I am looking for a replacement for my 20 yr old Aerostich. This is not that.

Asking $150 plus shipping cost.
Not a single bug splat.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing on the tag too.
 
Yes it is an XXL but it fits small. I am normally XL and this is a good fit as XXL. It you guys want more details I copied the description from the Cycle Gear website.

Looks nice and unfortunately if it fits small too small for my carcass but that being said what makes it not the replacement you were hoping for? Not trying to sour your sell, just curious due to I’m also looking for some replacement gear due to aging and wear and I’m picky about gear and fitment as well. Thanks!

it is a very good jacket in every way, but it fits a little tight on me, but is new and not broken in yet, …. I just got to thinking, at my age, this is probably my last riding jacket ever. I think I will go whole hog and buy either a Klim or Aerostich.
It is very hard to find a place to try them on for size, anyone know a place?

I think I listed this at a great price, it should sell fast.
