Great jacket for the money
I like the video demonstration. I am happy with my purchase and will look to Revzilla again in the future.

Perfect for warm weather riding
I live in south Texas where it's warm (no, hot) pretty much all year 'round. I will sometimes go without a jacket because it's just too darned hot, but always feel unprotected and vulnerable. I recently purchased this jacket in an XS White to wear when I ride my little Honda Rebel. I'm 4'11" and 105 lbs with curves (2P-4P). At first, I was concerned it would be too small, but my husband reminded me that sometimes a larger size catches the air and puffs up like the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. So, I took it for a test drive this weekend. It was fantastic. Very comfortable. The liner was a great windbreaker for the very early morning chill, but pulled right out and stored away nicely for the mid-morning heat. Amazing air flow. I was plenty cool, well protected, and highly visible. Also, it has plenty of pockets both in the liner and in the jacket. I love it. The only con I can find is that being petite, the sleeves are a little long when your arms are at your side. However, when you're riding, the sleeve length is great to go over your gloves. I also like that the back is slightly longer to give you some added privacy. :) Nothing can stop you from sweating at the stop lights in 90-100 degree weather. Well, maybe an air conditioned jacket! But until that comes along, I'm sure that this jacket will provide enough air flow that I'll not be tempted to forgo all-day protection to ease a few minutes of heat discomfort.

Short and Curvy Girl.
This fits great in the torso and shoulders! She is 5'4" and curvy! Plenty of room in the hips, but the arms are a bit loose, could use more straps on the arms to tailor the fit, sleeves are long and loose on her. Looks great, air flow is great, nice big pockets.

Nice jacket at a great price
Bought this for my wife, fit was perfect and contoured just right. Inside Liner seems a bit on the low end as far as quality but fit and function if good. My wife is very pleased with the color and fit. May need to size up if you plan to wear something heavy underneath.

Great looking/fitting jacket at a great, low price
Living in Houston, TX, my mesh jacket is all I ever wear when riding, even in the winter. So when my girlfriend got hooked on joining me on my rides, i decided she needed one of her own. I took her to revzilla.com and pointed her to the women's mesh jackets and told her to pick out any one she wanted. Here's what you need to know about her: she's petite (5'2") while boasting all the right curves, she has a great sense of style, and she hates paying too much for anything. This jacket met ALL her criteria. She ordered the X-small in black. It fits her perfectly and looks REALLY good on her. All the pads are removable, and both the jacket and the liner have plenty of pockets. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better mesh jacket for the price.

Good Women's Cut & Fit
I ride daily in Los Angeles and needed a new mesh jacket for the heat. It has good air flow and keeps me cool. The liner easily zips in and out for when it cools off at night and it has kept me warm at 68 degrees so far. We're still in hot weather here. I think the protection is pretty good for a mesh jacket and the air flow works very well. I'm hot sitting at lights but who isn't? Soon as I go, air flow picks right up and does its job. I bought the hi viz neon yellow and I noticed "being noticed" right away. I can see drivers "SEE" me and sometimes alter what they are about to do, like NOT bolt a turn in front of me. I also have a grey & black mesh jacket and a white leather and this hi viz jacket I can really see the difference of being seen by drivers. I'm 5'6" and range from 132 to 136 lbs. with a 36" chest. I bought the Medium. It fits my arm length correctly and the shoulder & elbow armor sits right. It has room in the chest and belly & arms for more but the jacket doesn't feel too loose. It is generous with space so I think it will fit many different shape/sized women. I specifically bought this one for the hi viz, the tapered cut around the chest and the extra back lower lip to hide low rise jeans crack. I also like the reflective strip along the chest. I'm pleased with the fit and the cut is more flattering to women and more comfortable. I haven't upgraded the back armor but I like that this new jacket has that capability and I probably will do that soon.
