Summer ventilation is great. I use the jacket year round for all my local rides...market, post office, hardware store, etc. I use the liner when needed (Northern California). Takes about 90 seconds to put in liner after some practice. For my long distance (multi-day) rides I use a full featured gore-tex touring jacket as it doubles as a rainsuit if needed. For the frequent local or day rides this is my grab-and-go jacket. Pockets have zippers and there are enough pockets to carry essentials. I got the silver color so I would be more visible on the road, and cooler in the summer. Nice style, and the price IMO matches the quality of the jacket. Very satisfied and no complaints.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Jacket sleeves are way too loose and protection pads will not stay in place...no way to tighten. Cuffs are also too loose and will not tighten. Body too big. I am 5'9 weighing 130 lbs and a small is way too big.

Have used this jacket in temperatures up to 35C; good airflow (as long as you're moving!) . The jacket seems to be well made. With the liner in, and with additional layers, the jacket is still good for cooler days, say down to 15C or so. I bought my appropriate size and the fit is good. Highly recommended!

In the Southwest having ventilation is essential six months of the year and this jacket fits the bill. I got a high visibility color and whether it really works or not, the sense I get is that I stick out like a sore thumb and it makes me feel safer. The protection seems adequate, though thankfully I have not tested it by crashing. It cleans up well when washed.

I got the hi-viz and it is that. I ride a pearl yellow Goldwing and it is bright and very easy to see. This jacket tones down the Goldwing as it is almost electric. The fit is slightly tight but not that bad. Looks like good quality but I wish it had more pockets. I guess that might block some of the air flow though which is also very good.

My only criticism is that the wrist snaps don't cinch a long enough section of the wrist. If you wear gloves without gauntlets, you may want to by a new pair when you get the jacket, as there is separation between the glove and sleeve. For me, it's just a personal preference that may not bother anyone else.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I just got back from a 5 day ride through 5 states and this Jacket out performed my expectations...
Gold Wing Rider - 2012 GL1800
While riding in the mountains in NC the jacket without the liner was awesome. The temps we experienced were 85 during the day and 65 in the evening at dusk and I never once got HOT or COLD.
On the way home we arrived in Texas about 1pm to 102 degree temps. Again I was reading reviews about this jacket and was getting worried at these temps I’d have to shed the jacket. This was not the case at all - even though it wasn't as comfortable I never considered removing the jacket. Again at every gas stop it did come off... Overall we this jacket performed well in the hottest temps I've ever rode in.
The jacket is definitely made well and if there was any criticism, it needs to have a little more comfort around the neck… the neoprene collar should be about a ½ taller for more comfort around the neck.
You will not be disappointed in this jacket.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I got a Day Glow Yellow jacket in 4X... and honestly, for the money this was a great buy. The jacket is really cool in comparison to the one it is replacing on those warmer days (from 78 to 90 degrees)... The fit on the jacket was good for me as I like mine to be a bit loose to let the air flow through. I would highly recommend this jacket for anyone needing something lighter yet still offering some protection.
Yes, I recommend this product.

On the product page it mentioned that a CE rated back protector could be added to replace the foam pad that comes with the jacket. I have a size medium and love the fit, but would like to upgrade the protection. Thanks

The size and shape of the EVA foam back protector found in the Firstgear Mesh Tex Jacket is a very specific long thin shape that does not accommodate the majority of aftermarket back protectors. When checking Firstgear manufacturer specifications, I was not able to locate any specifics for upgradeable protectors. For added spine protection, you can wear a separate back protector such as the Teknic Speedstar Spine Guard or the Joe Rocket Speedmaster Back Protector.

Looking at the charts, I guess I'm either a "large Medium" or a "small Large" -- what do you recommend in terms of size selection? Also, I notice there are no straps or snaps to adjust the snugness of the arms; I have average to thin arms for my size, so wonder if there'd be trouble keeping the armor in the right place? Same questions apply to all Firstgear jackets, I guess...

I normally wear a Large jacket (like my Joe Rocket), but found the medium was a good fit with this particular Firstgear model. I am more of a barrel shape, so I was really surprised when I slipped into the medium. I hope to not find out how well the armor stays in place during a crash, the jacket is a lot more flexible than a textile or leather jacket, but during regular riding, everything sits nicely in place.

This Firstgear jacket has a standard fit. If you normally wear a medium, purchase a medium. If you normally get a large, then get the large. As far as the armor goes, I have never experienced any problem with the armor not staying in place. It is an excellent jacket, and with the liner in place, is comfortable down to the low 60's with just a shirt on underneath. It is great during the warmer months and allows plenty of air in to cool your body.
If this does not answer your question about size, I would recommend that you by the medium size jacket since you are a large medium.
