The jacket looks good on. Lighter weight armor allows packing in limited space. Good ventilation. I've become a fan of the high colllar as it keeps a lot of noise out of the helmet. On the down side, I prefer a hoop & loop front closure over the snaps used on this jacket because hook & loop seals better and with less effort - some of the snaps are a little awkward to manipulate. Another nit is that the liner zipper is so close to the main closure zipper that it often binds up the main zipper. It was also a bit pricey, I thought.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a suberb jacket, does what it should and what I need. I wish it had zippers on the sleeves though.

I really enjoy this jacket. It is plenty warm for me down to 35 degrees and full of features. The one area that don't like is it is a bit short in the front. Being long bodied with a bit of a belly the jacket rides up in the front. However, when sitting down it is very comfortable on the bike which is why I chose to keep it. Plenty of vents, great pockets and a full sleeve liner.
Yes, I recommend this product.

It is High-Vis,. So, be prepared to be mistaken as a fireman or some other emergency worker. For folks where summer has temp's much above 80F expect to be dripping sweat after blowing open all openings. I have several rides in the 77F-42F ranges and it has function well. I have used the liner and it has given me the option to not to layer up on short in town trips or do the base/mid/outer on the long out of town ride. I am finding this jacket both flexible and functional.

Runs large. Hi-Viz good. Reflective strips could show up better in low light and night time. Very adjustable for fit. CE armor comfortable.

Stats: 5'7", 155 lbs, suit jacket size 40S Purchased: Medium in Gray (b/c black sold out)
I bought this jacket for cold and wet weather riding. I've put down a few hours of riding in cold weather so far but haven't ridden in the rain yet and will update when I do.
+'s The Kilimanjaro jacket seems to be built for war. It has plenty of storage pockets (also comically so - the chest pockets conceal 2 more pockets internal pockets, each). The textile outer shell looks to be of high quality material and construction. The flexible and lightweight D3O armor is nicely unobtrusive and protected my elbow in my standard "elbow attack the doorjamb" test. There are 3 cinches for adjusting the fit - as mentioned below, I needed these.
-'s The fit is a bit too "American" for me - even with my wide shoulder's and less than stellar current fitness level I found myself employing every cinch liberally. The result is a pretty good fit but bunched up materials at the cinch points. I compared the jacket with many others that advertised a more Euro/fitted cut but stuck with the Kilimanjaro based on feature/cost ratio.
TL;DR: Great build quality, cargo, and armor for a decent price but you sacrifice style and fit unless you're a big guy.
Yes, I recommend this product.
