Great Jacket
I bought this mainly to wear as a combination weekend ride and track day jacket. I measure just on the line for the medium and it does fit with all liners, but just barely. I don't plan on using this coat in the rain so I took out the rain liner and it seems to be just right. I ride in 40F+ and doing OK so far- a little cold around the neck because of the low collar but to be expected. With warmer weather now I seem to prefer this jacket over my Alpinestar- it breaths really well on warm days. I really like this coat. I think the white and silver help make me more visible on commute days. Shoulder armor does interfere with over shoulder looks sometimes but nothing I can't deal with. So far I agree with others that the forearms are a little tight but I don't mind- will probably wear without any liners on track days and then will need to adjust the arms tighter. I’m very happy with quality of jacket and MCSS service.

it's nice i guess
I don’t have much to compare to. I decided to go with this jacket instead of a leather one. It looks pretty cool. It matches my white helmet and bike. Has lots of pockets! Only thing is that shoulder might block your helmet when you turn your head to check for cars when changing lanes. Overall it's comfortable. Don’t know how it'd hold up in a crash and I hope I never have to find out

Good jacket for the price
I purchased this jacket along with the series 2 pants. It is very versatile, with the two liners that can be inserted. Lots of armor in the right places. Some may feel the outer armor on the shoulders may be a bit Darth Vadar looking but it is added protection. The only negative is with both liners in the jacket it feels really tight in the forearms. I have skinny arms, so I think for a person with beefy, Popeye type forearms it would be very uncomfortable. I should mention that in addition to the liners in the jacket I had on two other layers (riding in 40 degree temps). With the only one layer and a heated vest my arms were much more comfortable. Good jacket that can be zippered together with the pants.

Amazing jacket
This is a great jacket and I couldn't be happier. I went down to the local shop and tried on some cortech stuff to get the size right, fits great. It looks super aggressive and is crash worthy; the external shoulder protectors are awesome too. It's a great year round jacket, I've worn it in 100F stop and go traffic and it was fine, and I've worn it in 25F night rides and it stays pretty warm thanks to the two removable liners. Haven't been in any serious rain but I would suspect it would take a lot to get any moisture to get through this thing. Get one, you won't be disappointed.

Sweet!
For the money, this jacket is excellent value. Quilted, warm inner liner, a wind and waterproof middle liner and a nice looking mesh exterior. Everything zips and snaps in and out easily and the fit doesn't change very much between layers. Functions well, looks great and again is good value compared with similar jackets. Fit is true. I'm a 42 normally and ordered a large size, great fit. Recommended, especially in changing climes such as here in western Colorado. Enjoy!
