Crash tested. Did its job.
Wore this jacket for about a month. Crashed with it going at 30-40 mph.<br /><br />Crash: The jacket did what it was supposed to. The right elbow and shoulder saved me from a nasty road rash but had a minor burn on the elbow (very minor, barely feel it). My shoulder is intact. The jacket held up very good and the leather and stitching seem to be fine. Would have given it a perfect score on protection but I don't agree at 40 miles should have had a little burn even with the elbow pads. Also, the jacket comes with the pad on the back, which you probably want to upgrade to a better armor.<br /><br />Comfort wise, i feel like it could have a better mobility. The airflow is not the greatest. I have to go at a decent speed on a 70-80 degrees day to be cool.It has the vents but the leather is so thick and stiff that it gives up some of the airflow. However, i prefer protection vs comfort when it comes down to it.<br /><br />The style is very nice. I suggest getting the proper fitting for the best style. If you get it too big it will sag at some places kinda weird. I feel like its made for heavier people with big bellies because I had to adjust the buttons on the side the tightest. Again, make sure you get the right size and style and comfort will not be bad. I got the recommended size and it was ok.<br /><br />Overall, very happy with the purchase, especially after crashing with it. Worth the money.
Surprise, surprise
was a bit sceptical, tried few jackets in higher price range previously, but they either fited too tight or too loose, or sleeves to long, or length to short. This jacket fits great, I am 5.10 and about 190lb, not to short, not too tight, some room for layers and movements is there. Leather is a bit stiff and don't look as premium as other more expensive samples, but overall look's great. Style is simple and attractive, no liner, but it's not a problem since you can put on extra layer and be warm. Had no chance to try it in warmer weather than 75, just bought it, but it seems that up to 80 with a t-shirt under should work fine.
Need better pictures.
The picture isn't accurate (brown color). It's a lot dark and very distress. Still a good jacket for the price. Really nice in colder weather (with a hoodie under and a neck gaiter). After a month it has broken in nicely. Just which it wasn't so distressed looking.
Amazing Jacket
This jacket is very good looking and it will get you lots of compliments and people asking about it. The airflow could be better. The fit is really good, I'm 5'11'' and around 180 pounds so I picked the large one. <br /><br />Back armor should be replace as soon as you get the opportunity,so take that into conssideration. Overall very satisfied with this purchase.
Happy with Jacket
In full disclosure, this is my first real riding jacket. Im 58/180 with a 32 waist and ordered a medium. Ive been very happy with the fit.<br /><br />The jacket appears heavy/well constructed and I get a lot of compliments. I cant speak to its durability at this point given that Ive owned it for ~2 months. Ive warn it in temps ranging from 50-75F and have been comfortable in warmer temps by opening the vents. I think beyond 75 it will be too warm unless Im really moving.
outstanding
Exactly what I wanted and got. Little hesitant to order based on the bare minimum description, photo and lack of reviews, but CS found that I should probably order a small cause of how it fit him when he tried it out. I am in between a sm. and med. on jackets. This small fits great looks good, has good zippered vents front and back, polyester lining, single stitch throughout. Can't comment on the protection and durability cause I just got it. Looks like if I take care of it, it will take care of me. Everything looks and feels well made.
Medium larger than expected
The jacket appears and feels well-constructed. I am 6?2? and 165 lbs (tall and skinny), and the Medium was a little too large for my 38-inch chest, despite the size chart indicating that the Medium fits chest sizes of 36? to 38?. There was too much room at the backsides of the armpits of the jacket, which solidified my decision that the jacket is too large for me at this size. I would have appreciated snaps at the wrists, since the cuffs are a little more flared than I want them, though I wouldn?t expect extras at this lower price point. I like my jackets to be a little more fitted than this one.
Cant go wrong for the price
This is my first real cafe riding jacket, I bought 2 others but ultimately settled with this one due to price, style, and protection. Its definitely darker in person than it is in pictures but that turned out to be a good thing. It looks amazing! First ride I went on I got honks, thumbs up and waves. Protection isnt too thick but theres a lot of it so you feel safe. Might be too hot on a sunny warm day but I assume all leather jackets would be.
Floaty armor
The jacket is comfortable, has plenty of pockets space, and has good color. The biggest problem I have is that the armor is floaty, it doesn't seem secure at all, and I doubt its protective ability. Chances are I'll switch out the armor.
Great Jacket For The Price
Great quality jacket for the price point. Very simple and looks great. I?m 6?3 185 lbs with a 42 inch chest and a large fits really well in the arms and chest. A little too loose at the bottom, but the side snaps quickly remedy that.
Great Product!
Great product, make sure you get gauntlet gloves for the winter though even with a hoodie on wind will fly right up your sleeves and freeze you.
Nice Jacket
This product arrived in good condition and looked better than I had anticipated from the ad. It cost a little more than I wanted to pay but it fit perfectly and I would definitely purchase it again.
