Great value, great all around jacket
I am new to motorcycling, and have been riding for about 2 months now. This is the first jacket that I bought, and have ridden in it 3 or 4 times a week for commuting.
Here in Orlando, hot weather is more of a concern than cold, so I wanted something with plenty of ventilation. The front panel works well, as do the rear slits, though I do wish there were a few more mesh openings either in the torso or arm area. I've ridden in 92 degree weather, and although I was hot, I think it was fine, all things considered. Riding in 60 degree weather with a long sleeve T-shirt underneath kept me warm.
I am 5'8" and 140 lbs. I bought a size SMALL, and it fits perfectly. The 3-setting sleeve adjuster (buttons) and adjustable waist straps (Velcro) provide a great custom fit. The included foam pad is fine and dandy, though I plan on upgrading with the Joe Rocket CE level 2 back insert. All the reflective strips on the front, back, shoulders, and elbows work as advertised, and I am very pleased with them (the main reason I bought this jacket)
If I had to nitpick, I guess it would be that the inner front zipper for the mesh ventilation is tough to operate with gloves on. The zipper is on the small side. However, the outer zipper is big enough that using gloves does not present a problem when you don't need the ventilation.
Overall, I am extremely happy with this jacket, and would recommend it to anyone.

Awsome Jacket
This jacket is very well made, and true to size I'm 6'3 200lbs and the xl fits perfect. It’s a little warm when the temps are over 80 and your sitting at a light, so keep moving.

A good buy
The jacket is very light weight and is great for hot weather since the louisiana has about only 2 months of cold a year. The feature i like the best is the padding for your back it seems like it would protect you. the material of the jacket doesn't seem very durable because of how thin it is but at least it's breathable. I usually wear size large t-shirts so i got the jacket in large, it fits loose which is nice. Fyi i am 5'7" 180lbs stocky frame so i guess use that as a reference for fitting.
