![]() ![]() For sizing, I have an atheltic build, 5'4 in height and after reading more reviews, they advise you to go up in size so I went 1 size up to a Medium and it fits perfectly. After wearing the jacket a few rides in, it is light weight and very breathable and comfortable to wear for short and long rides, didn't feel any discomfort around the neck or any other parts of the upper body. ![]() Intially purchased just for the stylish look, I got the silver colour and it looks awesome. it does really well in heat, although with our milder covid summer, the highest temp I've had it up to was about 36C. However it was fairly obvious to me had I slid at 90+ I reckon it'd have got through and the fabric was thin enough that I did get some scratches on my arm just from the impression of the road through the jacket.Īll in all though I'm happily buying another one to replace it. I landed on the tougher sections of the fabric as designed, and at that low speed it held up to the slide. I was unlucky enough to get hit by a car at 50kph after having the jacket for around 3 months. You can feel as soon as you pick it up it's a lot thinner and lighter than most jackets with smaller and lighter Armour. ![]() I would hold short of recommending it for faster riding or touring however. Still at little baggier right up at my 195cm, but nowhere near as bad as others. Usually it seems they don't actually find any taller models to test sizes on, they just take whatever measurements fit an averaged sized person and scale up from there, meaning that for most jackets getting one that fits in length and arms means they end up so impossibly wide around the middle I could smuggle a tyre out the shop under the jacket. In terms of fit I speak as a taller rider. This has been perfect - it looks great, it fits better than any jacket I've had as a taller person, and it flows so much air, even more than my induction. ![]() I have a Klim Induction jacket, which I use for touring and faster riding, but I bought this for the commute where I want a lot of airflow and really a lighter jacket that looks better and is less cumbersome than a full motorcycle jacket. Flows a lot of air, looks and fits great, but middling protection for a motorcycle jacket ![]()
