An amazing jacket for the money. Tons of pockets (almost comically so, as another reviewer pointed out), everywhere. I found the fit to be right on -- I'm 5'10" and 185, and a LG is a perfect fit. The soft armor is comfortable and feels like it would offer plenty of protection (haven't tried it, fortunately). Wore it though a 45 minute downpour last week and was completely dry when I got home, other than my pants (not FirstGear). Airflow could be a bit better, or I'd recomend it for four season wear. As it is, I very highly recommend this jacket for three season + wear.
Yes, I recommend this product.

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.

I received this jacket promptly, and wore it the next day on a 200 mile ride to Seattle. The Jacket is extremely comfortable, has tons of pockets. The waist adjustment works well. The jacket is very well thought out. Although I haven't tried the venting yet, it looks like they are positioned nicely to let air flow through the jacket nicely.
Great waterproof jacket for the price.
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.
