Worth the price!
Okay, so this just arrived.I did my research and the reviews are all spot on. This jacket, at first glance is a bargain.Appear well made, fits well and looks as you'd expect.I'm a relatively broad guy, and admittedly since covid, a bit fat. I'd say I rock the dad bod at the moment.My go to blazer size was a 42inch so wanted a bit of give and went for the xxl. I have an xl leather which is a bit snug and a xxxl which is quite large.Shot down the middle and this is a perfect fit.It has velcro straps at the bottom for a snug fit at the waist, and poppers on the sleeves for larger or smaller arms.Easy removable inner lining for waterproofing, which a phone pocket, and zipper pocket along with others.When removed you are left with one little zip pocket inside which fits my Samsung S22 Ultra.Two outta pockets for bits an bobs. Fleeced collar for draughts, but overall a well made, sturdy jacket.The length is pretty good too. Goes just below the jeans waistband on me. I'm 6ft tall with a relatively average leg to body ratio.My only gripe, which I have to stress makes no difference to my thoughts on this purchase, is the flimsy back plate which is made of thin foam. Otherwise, anyone who doubts this product, just get it.For this price, you can't go wrong.I'll update if the jacket fails me, or disintegrates in time, but I'd expect this to last a few years.

Fantastic jacket, light and cool. Flexible 2 way liner makes for great value for money and room in your top box!
At last warm weather biking and not being cooked at the same time. Lightweight, perfect. Takes up half the room of a normal coat, has all the protection and looks great. Really comfortable fit with loads of mobility. Definitely go one size up however. I rode from South Wales to Birmingham in the early evening the day this came in August. I wore a t shirt and ordinary cotton shirt underneath with liner taken out and did not sweat at all. There are a few sharp edges on the armour pad areas when the liner is out but some sandpaper and or tape will smooth that out. The liner comes with a waterproof outer which can then be split again down to just the padded jacket, so effectively you have 3 jackets. All very light and seemingly well made. I am delighted with it. This is seriously good kit at a good price. I am after some 44 inch waist short fit trousers of the same make now I am so impressed with it.

Very impressed
For the price, you really cant go wrong. I took a bit of a punt on this jacket and I was pleased I did as its a great bit of kit for summer riding.The mesh gives lots of ventilation (obviously) and it comes with a thin waterproof type inner and a thicker warmer inner, so a 3 in 1 jacket...however, I cant comment on the warmth or dryness as I only bought it for warm summer riding.I'm 6ft1 and it still nicely on my waist and doesn't ride up when I am riding, due to straps that tighten at the bottom. Comes with good protection on the shoulders and elbows too, although when it first arrived, I felt like the shoulder pads seemed a little too big for the jacket and seemed to stick out a little. However, a bit of manipulation and they're a little better now and it doesn't look like that on the bike, compared to when I am posing in the mirror.A great buy and I defo recommend

Good jacket and a nice fit
Good jacket and a nice fit. Cool to wear. My only problem was that the mesh liner in the sleeves kept coming out when I took the jacket off and became tangled making it difficult to put back on again. Easy fix - cut it out with scissors, leaving the mesh liner to the jacket in place. Really not a big deal, but that's why it's not 5 star.

Mesh jacket review
Summer motorcycle jacket. Easy to order and arrived on time. I have had a chance to wear this in the recent hot and humid weather and it does everything I need. It has armour at the shoulder, elbow and the usual back protection. This armour is hardly noticeable when using the jacket and that is a good thing. The jacket has 3 layers with 2 detachable and that is the water proof lining along with an inner warm lining. I took both out and was really pleased with the mesh effect, cool air came in via both torso and arms and this made for a comfortable ride. I bought the jacket specifically to wear in Spain and I am sure it will do a good job. Bottom line is a good versatile jacket for a very reasonable price.

Spring, summer,autum
A good jacket for three seasons ( unless you wear lots of layers ) the jacket has a large are of mesh to allow air flow, the liners bulk it out when fitted so use the arm and side adjusters to get the fit right. I have not tested it in the rain but at 2 deg C it gets a bit nippy even with 2 layers of clothing but this was at about 60mph. At normal town riding speeds I guess it would be alright. You may need to buy a size up due to the liners, but if buying for warmer weather with the waterproof liner only it will be a snug fit so if for all season riding go one size up to allow for layers, if you want a ventilated jacket for warm weather buy your size.

Fantastic value for the money.
For the money, this is an absolutely fantastic jacket. Good quality and perfect fit (buy one size up). Although not advertized, it also come with a back protector. If you are on a budget - but still want's quality and security - this can't be beaten.This was bought for a summer trip through the deserts of Arizona, Utah and Nevada.

Veste multi saison
Achetée comme veste d'été, surprise de trouver deux sous vestes, l'une imperméable, l'autre chaude; donc veste d'automne sans souci. En plus, elle donne une sacrée carrure ;-)
