So everyone, I figured I would do a review on this jacket cause I got one the other day for only 65 from a guy buying them straight from the distributor.

First things first, its got a perfect fit, other than the fact that the XL fits like a Large. Its very comfortable, and has excellent ventilation for summer hot day riding, and has a liner that you can put in that will warm you up for winter. However, the ventilation gets annoying in cold weather I have noticed, but if you wear a hoodie or sweatshirt, which easily fits under it, you wont feel it at all. The jacket is very flexible and moves with your range of motion easily. Has full CE armor, elbow, back, lower back, shoulders, and abrasion resistant textile.

I only noticed a few cons with this jacket. For one, doesnt really bother me, but my girlfriend kept having to unfold my collar cause it would quickly get messed up, and now I am starting to bug out about it haha... The other con is that, I dont know if it fits me perfectly, but sometimes the elbow armor will dig into my funny bone and spike my arm for a second.

*EDIT*

One other thing, the armor is all exterior accessible, which is mighty convenient in my opinion. Not that you really take it out all that often, but if you needed too it would be simple.

Thats my review, its a great jacket! Thanks for looking,

Jake

jacob,

thanks for the quick review. Luckily I knew you lived in the area from other posts of mine you have responded in. I am thinking of getting it just to have a summer jacket but damn is it ugly! lol. Thanks for clarifying just how cold/ventilated it is. You know as much as i do that here in western washington might be sunny but its mighty cool/cold at anything above 25mph.

Yea the black and white zebra stripes aren't that cool, but i just got it cause its something with full armor for well under 100 bucks. And it matches my bike lol

Under $100!!!!!!!....Boy, that's a nice looking jacket!
