This is my 1st bike jacket. Initially it took some getting used to but after wearing it for some time now, I have to say it's really comfortable. The properly-placed zipper vents are a real plus on this jacket - once you're moving you really feel the wind pass through and creates a cooling affect. Note: I live in 90 degree temps year-round, so I was a little apprehensive about buying a jacket but it was well worth it. I havent't taken any spills yet(hopefully I won't,either), so I can't say how well the jacket protects but the elbow/shoulder/back gaurds feel comfortable and unobtrusive. Last but not least, I think it's the coolest-looking jacket on the market right now - espescially if you're a CBR fan!!!

THE PICTURES DOES NOT DO THIS JACKET JUSTICE. IT IS EVERYTHING YOU WANT (COMFORT, SAFETY AND STYLE). PURCHASED IT A WEEK AGO AND HEADS BEEN TURNING EVERY SINCE. ALMOST FORGOT, CLUB PATCH ALSO FITS ON BACK PERFECTLY.
