Well built jacket, but not for tall people
Let's start off by saying that I'm 6'6", 260 pounds. If I were shorter, this jacket probably would have worked out great. The quality of materials and construction are above and beyond that of the Joe Rocket and Cortech jackets I own. This is not to say that those two companies don't make great jackets, but the Scorpion is exceptional. For instance, even the windproof liner has a fine mesh lining in it that keeps the plastic-feeling part off of your skin. The materials in the non-impact areas are as strong or stronger than the materials in the impact areas on my Joe Rocket. The material on the impact areas on the Scorpion might very well be bullet proof; seriously.
My only complaints about this jacket are that the armor is basically flat with very little shape to it, the sleeves are not pre-curved, and the sleeves and jacket length are considerably shorter than the other brands mentioned. For a person of my height, this is a problem, because when you bring your arms up to the riding position, the sleeves would also ride up. Also, since the pads are not really shaped, their flatness also pulls on the sleeves when you have your elbows in a bent position.
If you have shorter arms, buy this jacket, you won't be disappointed. If you have longer arms, Joe Rocket in tall seems to make the longest riding jacket I've ever worn.

Scorpion Hat Trick Jacket
I've put in about 600km with this jacket in all types of weather. From 2c (36f) to 30c (86f) pouring rain and strong winds. For a variable climate like here in Canada I don't think it can be beat.

Scorpion takes the sting out of variable NY weather.
Simply the best jacket period. You can't beat the quality and comfort. Living in upstate New York, you ride in all kinds of conditions. The versatility, performance, and comfort of each liner is second to none. The armor positioning, stability with movement, and comfort is excellent. I guarantee you will love this jacket.

This jacket is the best purchase I could have made, fits great and I'm looking forward to many years riding with it. Got a great deal here, free shipping and used $20 off coupon ,saved over $60 in what it would have cost around town

Scorpion Hat Trick - Awesome buy, great value
With the two layers and great fit and quality this jacket is a great buy. I am 5`9`` 195 LBS and it is a good fit. Cool enough in the nineties and warm enough in the forties with the lawyers. Also lightweight and cool looking piece.

The BEST!
I bought this jacket to be my all season jacket due to the crazy weather in Italy and it has been incredible. The fit is perfect and the material feels like it can take some damage. The liners are great and after a couple of times they are a breeze to get in and out. For the price I would recommend to anyone.

Hot Rod Cruiser Jacket
Fit and quality makes the purchase price easy to swallow, the phantom black with low key logos appearance has that sporty and tuff look, good for cold mornings to warm afternoons, not hot enough to test mesh only mode but looks like it will be very functional. I am a 44 chest 5'9" 184 lbs. The fit could not be better, the positioning of armor pads is excellent.

Hat Trick Jacket by Scorpion
I spent several months looking for a jacket. I tried on all the major brands, everything from synthetic to leather at several different shops. Honestly, I could have saved about 30 dollars with several other major brands but now that I have had the opportunity to see and wear this jacket first hand I can promise you that the quality, fit and finish is above other major brands. With that said, I must mention that where the yellow part of the sleeve meets the cuff on the right arm was not sewn all the way down to the cuff; it was short about .25 of an inch; but, it is anchored additionally at the cuff so there is no way for it to rise up or pull away from the seam because of the redundant stitching. I am very anal and picky. The jacket is more than warm enough for Fl but the real question is how cool is it in the heat? Well, the hottest it has been since I bought the jacket is around 80-85 degrees. The jacket performed very well at those temperatures, even in stop and go traffic. I have also not worn this jacket in the rain. I am 5'9" with a medium build and the medium size worked out great for chest fit and arm length. Overall, I would say that if the price is not an issue and you’re looking for a synthetic ventilated jacket with excellent quality, fit and protection that has versatility for changing weather conditions then I would find it hard to believe that you could out class this jacket. You really do get what you pay for with this.

Excellent buy! Have used jacket in weather down to 35 degrees. Layers work like a charm. If wearing in anything below 35, I would recommend a thermal or under Armor cold gear.

Awesome jacket!
I did not expect this jacket to be this good fit and quality. I am 5`9`` and 190 lbs. I have broad shoulders so usually I do not get jackets with good fit because the arms are usually too long and the waist area is too loose. This one is different. Great quality, excellent workmanship!

Scorpion - Hat Trick Jacket
I now have three different Scorpion Jackets. The Hat Trick is what I call the middle Jacket.... Not for Winter, not really for the hot summer. The Scorpion Commander Jacket is for wintertime and I use the Scorpion Cool Rod Jacket for the dead of Summer. This Hat Trick Jacket is a cross between a Mesh and a textile jacket... it screams quality... all their Jackets do. The jacket comes with two liners. A water proof and a quilted for extra warmth. You have to have the thin water proof liner in to zip in the quilted liner. So with these three pieces, it gives you a great deal of temperature variation comfort. Leave in the morning with everything on. In the afternoon remove the liners, slide them into a saddlebag come with just the jacket on. Fits true to size chart.

I looked around a lot for a solution that is high-protection and high-style AND can handle diverse temperatures. I have the Phantom black and I am way impressed with this jacket's ability to be cool in the summer and able to handle some really cold and/or wet weather with the liners in place. I've literally done 104 degrees down to 26 degrees. Great reflective qualities at night. Fits and performs like a champ. The only jacket I need for daily riding and 3-season touring. My only complaint is one of the snaps inside the sleeves to hold the liners in place pulled loose. But easily repaired.

Black and Yellow Hat Trick Jacket
I like this jacket a lot! It fits well, has multiple liners for various weather conditions, and the graphics on it look great. I bought an XL just for the arm length and shoulder room (6ft, 165lbs), and the side snap adjustments helped to snug it up in the mid-section. I've really only worn this jacket in temps between 80 and 48, with no rain, and so far I have been comfortable at all temps in between with the different liners. I have only had it for a month and a half and so no comments on the durability yet. Overall this jacket is really nice for the price, looks good, and I would recommend buying it.

I did a lot of searching on the net for a jacket and by far the motorcycle superstore had the most product info of anybody it made my choice an easy one. As far as the jacket it was exactly what I needed. I rode in 90 degree heat and 40 degree cold mornings here in east Tennessee, and it worked well in both. The fit is great. the looks are awesome. And it definitely turns heads. The color matches my yellow and black gsxr 1000 perfectly. If I go down it feels like I’ll be well protected. Great service from the people at the superstore.

Scorpion Hi Hat Jacket
Nice jacket. Nice fit. I like the options of the two internal liners for colder weather conditions. With both liners removed, it can still get pretty warm in a hot day but I prefer it over my Joe Rocket summer jacket.

freakin great jacket
I love this jacket. Just like the promotional video said, this jacket really is three jackets in one. With the two liners removed, this jacket is very cool (as in not hot). The entire chest panel area and the forearms are mesh so you almost feel like you're wearing a vest or an armor rig rather than a jacket.

Damn fine jacket
Just got this tonight in preparation for a hot spell this coming weekend. I feel as though I'm in shorts and a T-shirt compared to what I have been wearing. Also think this will make a decent 3-4 season jacket depending on how effective the two liners are.

Fantastic!
I got this jacket in lieu of my Joe Rocket Alter Ego setup that I had. The quality of craftsmanship between the two is very noticeable! The Alter Ego's feel like they are built to last only for the riding season, but the Hat trick feels like it was meant for crashing in. The designs are fresh, free flowing air where they are needed!
Last week it was around 107F out on the freeway. I was wearing my Alter Ego's to the motorcycle store to see this jacket in person before I bought it. Even when taking off the textile panels on the ego's, it was hot as h3ll! I was so impressed with Scorpion's jackets that I had to have it. I rode home on the freeway and guess what? STILL F$*@ing miserable! Because its HOT air blowing on you.
But one thing that I noticed off the bat was that even though the ego's had more mesh, it didnt breath as well as the Hat Trick. I rode up to 4000ft elevation and the temp went from 106F to 90F and I was getting chilly ( I pulled over and put in the wind liner).
I also kept checking the zipper because it felt as though my jacket was open, exposing my shirt, and flapping in the wind..but it wasnt.
All in all, I am impressed with Scorpions jacket. It's heavier than the Alter Ego's, and feels like it was meant for crashing in. The mesh on my ego's are barely beginning to unravel after normal wear, and the mesh on the hattrick looks like it can take a pounding..
Plus it looks fantastic! Pictures and videos dont do it justice, you need to see it in person
If their gear was half as good as their helmets, then I'd be very happy -- and I'm happy

Very Nice Jacket
I bought this jacket not knowing what to expect. It is a very nice, reliable warm jacket. I rode in 41 degree weather and I was really warm. My legs were cold and my hands were cold (with gloves on), but my arms, back, and chest were really warm. It’s a really nice jacket for a good price.
