Default Leather Jacket Fitment astars & Motogp

Time to get back on a bike.. it's been a few years since the last near death crash.

So Shopping for new gear and I have run into a snag. I live relatively close to Ironpony in ohio which gives me the opportunity to try on gear before you buy it. They have the Alpinestars Tz-1 and in a size 50 it fits great!!! but with the $349 price tag..

SO my question is .. is the fit of the Motogp Corkscrew jacket comparable to the fit and comfort of the Astars?
I also tried on a Teknic, which is very uncomfortable, the shoulder pads seemed to dig in more than they should.

If you live close to Ironpony, they are having a nice sale..!!
Women's motogp corkscrew jackets are $119,
Motojp leather race pants are $99 (they are womens size, but a W8 fit me great, and you can't tell they are different from men's)
Icon Alliance Helmets $99 !!

I wear an XL motogp apex corkscrew jacket, but I've also owned a large. I think the jackets fit smaller, so the corkscrew XL is comparable a large in another brand. I'm about 5' 9" and 165lbs, but bigger up top. My wife thinks I have chicken legs.

I have a small corkscrew jacket and love it, fits great and breathes great.

As far as sizing goes, my dad has a size 44 non-name brand leather jacket. So for his b-day I bought him a XL motogp corkscrew jacket and when it came in and he tried it on it fit; a large would have been too small.
