Fine jacket for the money...
I ride mostly to work and back but also ride off-road on occasion so I needed a multi-use, cold weather jacket. Have to say the Cortech fit the bill. Highly adjustable and very comfortable with more features than I could imagine (right arm has a small pocket with an integrated string/clip? What the heck is this for?). The forearms are a little tight as others have mentioned but I think they will wear in over time. As a vest, with Camelback installed, this jacket will be great for off-roading what with all the pockets and venting options. So far I am very impressed with this jacket and considering the construction and materials chosen am pleased with the overall price. Jeez, Camelbaks alone can cost anywhere from $69 to $100!

series 3 please
As a vest, it's great. sleeve forearms are to small. Designers need to take into account that dirt-bike riders usually have well developed forearm mussels.

almost perfect
As a quality jacket I am baffled by the sleeves. They seem to be designed for people with very slim arms. As a vest, it rocks.

Cortech accelerator series 2
This is one great jacket for the enduro rider. Great in the cold and great while in tight trails in the heat with the removable sleeves that stow in the rear fanny pack. The integrated backpack is also A 1. All the storage needed for a jacket with some great armor.

Great Fit and Great Jacket
I just got one of these and I love it. I'm about 6'4" and 185lbs and this jacket fits just about perfectly in a MedTall. The sleeves and body are perfectly long the jacket overall is comfortable. I'm still breaking it in and it is a bit tight with the liner in especially around the elbows but I think that will relax once I've worn it a bit more. Too soon to know how durable it is.

Don't buy w/o trying this jacket on!
This is a very well made, very high quality jacket - if you're a manikin. Forearms are very binding, and you cannot lift your arms without lifting entire jacket - very stiff and no flexibility. Not good for off-road, touring, or anything other than sitting and looking really good! Has wonderful features, and seems very well made, but the designers should have had some actual seat time with it before it was marketed. I hope to see a "Series 3" soon with all these features but actual functionality. Very disappointing!

Too Small or Too Big
I really wanted this jacket, but I just couldn't get a good fit. I take a 48 jacket. The XL would have fit, but the sleeves were way too small. I could not extend my arms out to the handlebars. I returned the XL and ordered an XXL. This one was way too big in the chest and still a bit too small in the sleeves. On a positive note, the Motorcycle Superstore's return policy and speed at which you are credited back for the return is excellent.
