I sure like mine.
Great 'wear it like a shirt' armor. I usually forget that I have mine on when I'm riding. Mesh material vents very well on warm days. Wear a t-shirt or thermals (whatever) underneath to regulate your temperature. Integrated kidney belt is a plus.
I fell pretty well protected when I have this on.
Only gripe is that arm protection is not really in the right place relative to the seam of the sleeve. A bit of twist before fastening the velcro straps does the trick tho.

Nice light weight protector for riding protection when it's hot enough to ride naked.

I'm Really Impressed!
I ordered one size larger than I would normally wear, and I'm glad I did so. This jacket is lightweight, and really vents well. The only way I can explain it, is that it's like I'm wearing a long sleeve tee shirt. I live in Phoenix, AZ and it's required that you find light weight protection that really breathes. Vents in all the right places move the air around well. There are no high speed wind vibrations from this jacket, like other jackets I own. I was looking at another model that had thicker shoulder pads, and I feel that I made the better choice with this one for looking over my shoulder for highway traffic changes.
Though I have never been down on my Z1000, this thing feels like it would do the job, and protect me well. Hopefully I never truly find out! Good job EVS... Ride Safe... Wear your protection!
