Awesome and it fits!
I'm 6'5" 220 lbs I have been lookin for a riding jacket that fits in the arms for a long time now and I saw this one on sale so I figured I would give it a try and boy is it awesome I got a 50 regular it's a bit baggy in the body even with the adjustments tightned but I'm ok with that becuase it fits perfect in the arms! It's very comfterble and nice looking the armour is not the best for the track or any thing but plenty enough for what I do(rippin the gsxr around on the back roads and loops) not a single complaint from me I would buy another one tomorrow if I needed to and I would recomend to any one! It's not made for 100degree weather but 90 is not to bad if your moving with vest out and vents open!

Great Jacket!
I use this Jacket for everyday commuting. The armor feels very sturdy and secure. If the armor isn't to your liking, it is possible to remove and replace it with armor of your liking using the zippers to the compartments. The removable liner comes in handy for those overwhelming hot days or simply when it needs washing. The jacket fits me true to size despite the fact that I'm skinny and tall. Pushing 6' at about 160lbs/75.6kg. The zipper seems very sturdy and the adjustable straps on the waist come in very handy to give the tight feel that jackets should give. It is very easy to clean and overall a well rounded and attractive jacket that's easy on the wallet.

Very good two season jacket
I've had this jacket for a year, it's my first riding jacket. Was suggested to me as a three season jacket. I have a 44" which is perfect for my wide shoulders and long arms but at 6' and thin it's baggy in the abs and waist, but I'm not complaining. It has a removable liner and zipper vents on the back and under the arms. The jacket is great for Spring and Fall from the mid 40s F to high 70s low 80s F. The 40s you'll be needing two layers, I usually have a t-shirt and an Under Amour type shirt. In the 60s to 70s you'll be opening the vents and removing the liner. Higher 70s to 80s you'll start sweating, especially if it's humid. The material in the forearms is kind of slick so it will get damp in warm weather and I suggest airing it out. I've been caught in the rain and it didn't bother me. For this summer I got a Teknic Super Mesh. Worn it a couple times and I highly suggest that for the summer. I'm really happy with Teknic gear and one of the best things about their jackets is your not stuck with S, M, L, etc...

Will Keep Ya Dry
Been through a few rains in this jacket, I would recommend to keep moving though, there isn't too much air flow at slow speeds.
There are tons of dry pockets and it looks great.
Build construction so far is holding up and looks like quality work.

Good buy so far
Have worn this three times in 90+ degree weather and it's acceptable as long as you keep moving at freeway speeds. High quality in fit and finish. I'm 5'11" about 185 w/ athletic build and the 44 us fit is dead on. Will make a good year around sport jacket for anyone in mild climates such as Florida. Seems like another quality product from Teknic.

Really Enjoy it.
This jacket is WATERPROOF! I rode in the rain for an hour and all the pockets were DRY! Couldn't believe. As far as comfort level I forget its on due to its light weight compared to old my Shift Triton. The elbow pads are a little forgiving (you can squeeze them) unlike the Triton I couldn't move. The air flow vent is one zipper along the back across the shoulders, I live in NY and I really haven't been able to use it, because of the low temps and its almost May it will start warming up in June, The inner liner is a vest and so I wear long sleeve shirts for the lower temps, other than that I recommend it for your next jacket.
