Having owned several higher end jackets, I'd rate this one among the best. The craftsmanship is top cabin as are the materials. I purchased it recently, so can't speak to the jacket's endurance over the long run, but judging by the level of quality, I expect it to hold up well.
I'm a little leery of the abrasion resistance a mesh jacket can offer, so was looking for a jacket that's built sturdy but vents well for hot days. The outer shell on the Carese breathes very well for a 500D non-mesh material. And when you really need air flow, the venting system is highly efficient and intelligently engineered. For instance, the arm cinches are designed so they still function properly when the sleeve vents are opened (a problem area on many other jackets). The lower sleeve vent runs from the cuff to just below the elbow cinch. The upper sleeve vents runs from just above the elbow, up to the armpit and down along the torso to the waist. The flaps on the chest vents are held open by magnets so can easily be operated while riding. The storm flaps on the main zipper can be magnetically held open on both sides of the zipper, creating another large, mesh-backed venting area.
Complaints about this jacket are minimal, but I would have appreciated hand-warmer slash pockets, and the jacket does not include an insulation layer.
The overall fit of this jacket is very comfortable and true to size. I’m 6’, 185 pounds and an XL fits well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

First off I called and Anthony took the time to check the best sizing for my build, height and arm length. Went and actually looked at one and sent back an Email a short time latter with what my best fit would be, now that's great customer support.
I thought I would need a 2XL like a Revit however I would have had to much chest flap so the XL is perfect. I am 6-2 190 with long arms, so I was concerned with the sleeves creeping up my forearm, this is not the case I have plenty of sleeves. I'm in SoCal and only really have 2 seasons so I don't need the liner, removing the liner gave extra arm length, additionally the air flow is great on hot days, at night just layer a sweet shirt.
The picture color is deceiving it looks better in person.
The Held Carese offers fantastic protection and looks great doing its main purpose, providing safety.
When it arrived I was impressed on the packaging, the enclosed zipped garment bag and Held Hanger. The Held Carese Jacket itself is a thing of beauty when you take out the liner you see the extra nuance that make the jacket a $700 Jacket.
It offers plenty of pockets as well as a neoprene cell phone holder. My last Jacket was a BMW Trail guard, this jacket is much more superior and wears better IMO.
The overall service at revzilla is bar none, the videos are priceless. Attempting to find a retailer that has this equipment on site, virtually impossible. Thanks Revzilla for the unbiased informative reviews we all respect the work you guys do for the motorcycle community.

This XL jacket fits incredibly comfortably. I'm 6"4" 185lbs and I haven't had a jacket fit this well since my old BMW Savannah. There is a ton of venting - including LONG pit zips under each arm. One negative - no internal waterproof pocket - just the two front pouch pockets. Other than that is one incredibly well engineered and detailed jacket. Looks great off the bike as well. Last thing - the pocket for the back protector is a proprietary Held shape - be sure to order the Held SAS Tec protector.
PS....Revzilla rocks!!
