Warm!
I was looking for an affordable, warm, waterproof, high viz jacket for spring and fall riding in Alaska's interior and the Teknic Sprint fills the bill.
The fit was exactly per the sizing chart, the only problem is I am so big around that the sleeves end up a little long but that is my problem not the jacket, (5'9"-250#; got size 52). The shoulder and elbow armor remain well placed for me regardless.
Riding at 23 degrees, the jacket keeps me warm and at 32 degrees in wet snow it keeps me warm and dry for my 35 mile commute.
The styling is good and there are plenty of hi viz panels and reflective stripes without looking like a reflective banana.
Probably going to be too warm even with the liner out when we get up into the 80s and 90s but I have other gear for hot weather.
All in all a great jacket and fast service from Revzilla.

Excellent Jacket for the Price
Nice jacket. Warm into the 30s with an Under Armour base layer. Lots of pockets, strong mesh, good armor. Hi-Viz yellow is a nice touch as well that inspires confidence when riding.

Great Buy!
I had originally purchased this jacket in a larger size, and had to return it for a smaller one. The return process was simple, and I am very pleased with the replacement! I have ridden with this jacket in the low 30's, and it works very well. Haven't tried it in the rain yet though. Good durable construction, and pockets are laid out well. Very happy with this!

Fair price for a good/stylist jacket
True to size, i'm 5ft9, 160lbs, size Medium fits me like a glove. Insulation is very good for fall/winter ride. It's not too good for summer ride since the air vent is limited. But it's a solid jacket. I chose the hi-viz color, it's visible enough but not too obnoxious! Highly recommeded this jacket.My order arrival was fast, great website.

Great Jacket for Tall Riders
I was interested in this jacket because I wanted some high visibility yellow and reflective material without overdoing it. The styling is great as well as the sizing for taller people. I'm 6'3, 220 lbs and selected the size 48. I was pleasantly surprised how long the sleeves were. Revzilla recommends going one size larger than indicated on the Teknic sizing chart and this worked great for me.

Good all around touring jacket
So, I bought this jacket to use on my trip around Scotland. During the 1900 mile ride, we had torrential rain, hail, snow flurries, near freezing temps up to temps in the 80's. The jacket performed excellently. It was comfortable, fit well, and the offset zippers did an amazing job of blocking wind. I would only ask for a slightly higher collar for cold riding, however it was just fine when I wore my Buff. The sleeves and waist sealed well. I had some dampness around my wrists, but only after over 4 hours of torrential rain at highway speeds. I cannot complain about any of the function of the jacket. The pockets are great, especially the fleece handwarmer pockets. (Just don't forget to zip them closed when it rains...) This jacket is not a hot weather jacket, but it doesn't claim to be. For any other situation that doesn't require heated gear, this jacket is perfect. I rode my motorcycle nearly to the arctic circle on the Northern Scottish Isles with no problems.

Good value
The outer jacket was slightly larger than my measured size. The sleeves were especially long but it tightens up well enough to work. I'm 5' 10" and 170lbs and got the second smallest size. Rode in the rain the first week I had it and it kept me completely dry.

Excellent jacket
Great jacket for the money. Just the right amount of high viz yellow to still look stylish, but still provide a sense of security. So far, jacket has been comfortable in mild to cold weather -- will have to see how it does in the summer, but I am guessing very well. Would buy again.
