I was taken by the video and the price. This is my second motorcycle specific jacket, so I can only compare its build quality to my Schott Perfecto. I'm 6'1, 191 lbs, 42" chest, 34" waist" and athletic build. Review based on size Large, and I live in Dallas area.

Initially, I was on the fence about returning for a bigger size, but really didn't have the patience to wait another week. In hind sight, I should have. It's a bit too snug in the shoulders which pulls the short jacket high.

Unwisely I fastened the looped belt connectors (basic elastic strips with snaps) and after the second ride noticed one was fraying and the other tore off completely. The sleeves are oddly short as well, which makes little sense on a motorcycle jacket. There's a 4" gap of bare forearm in the riding position, between glove and sleeve end..

Nonetheless, it's a one season and apparently one year of use, perforated plastic jacket. I wouldn't recommend unless you're short, stout or just don't care about the quality of product you spend your money on. It's perforated and provides better than nothing protection, as it arrives. I don't trust it would protect much in a slide as it doesn't feel well constructed. Zippers are plastic and rest is polyester/nylon.

I was wearing this jacket when I ended up laying down my bike. I went down...hard. I landed directly on my shoulder. This jacket saved my shoulder from breaking and only left me sore for a few days. BUY THIS JACKET!

I ride a large cruiser and don't care for leather jackets or vests. I spent most of last summer riding with just a t-shirt but decided this summer to buy a mesh jacket. I wanted something very simple and light as well minimalistic. I looked at just about every mesh jacket that fit the criteria and decided on the Rev'it Eclipse. The video review that Revzilla has was extremely helpful.

As for fitment, the video review explained that this is a sport cut jacket (not blocky/American size) and will be sized small as well. I would normally wear an XL or 2XL but the chart puts me at 4XL. I was a little nervous it wouldn't fit right but after trying it on it fit just about perfect, with just enough room to adjust into.

The overall quality of the jacket and materials is top notch. I looked the jacket over well and there isn't a single minor defect anywhere (not even a frayed stitch). This is my first piece of Rev'it gear but from what I have read, Rev'it is premium stuff and after seeing this jacket in person I would have to agree.

The jacket is very slim and extremely comfortable. The armor doesn't feel bulky at all like some jackets I have had in the past and fits/moves around comfortably. The liner around the collar is quite nice as well. The zipper is very beefy and zips nicely. My only minor issue with the whole jacket is in the zipper. It zips up on the opposite side than any other jacket I have owned but I will get used to it.

The jacket appears to have plenty of mesh which is really what I was going for. I overheat and wanted lots of airflow on the chest and arms and it looks like the placement of the mesh on this jacket will cool well. You do sacrifice protection on this jacket which I already accepted, but it's much better than just a t-shirt.

In summary, the jacket is much nicer quality than what I expected, and fits me very well. It cost a bit more than what I wanted to spend originally (and was more than some of the other jackets I looked at) but it's well worth it. I gave it 5 stars because it far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a light/thin summer mesh jacket, then I would definitely recommend this over most of the others I looked at. And it beats wearing just a t-shirt.

I needed a summer jacket for the few months of hot weather riding and didn't want to spend a lot of money for something that will sit in the closet most of the year. I'm quite impressed with the quality and functionality of the Eclipse. I usually wear a large in most jackets, (6', 185 lbs.) including Klim but opted for XL and it fits perfect. Sizing definitely runs small. The good news is my large Klim Stow Away breathable Gore-Tex jacket can be worn over the Rev'it jacket during a pop-up rain shower. The feature that first attracted me was the minimal logo branding. I can't stand obnoxious looking logo's plastered all over moto clothing and the clean styling suits my taste. I added the Seesoft back protector and noticed it will affect sizing. If you're on the border go up a size for sure. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

I live in Phoenix-- arguably the hottest major city in the country-- and I ride here daily. This jacket is as good as it gets for ATGATT hot weather riding. I've worn two other mesh jackets (Fly Flux Air, and Fly Cool Pro), and this one beats them both, hands down, in terms of air flow and protection. Yes, it's also more expensive, especially with the CE2 back protector added on, but for me living here, it's worth it. Also, the Eclipse comes in a fully light color (including the shoulders, which get the most intense sun), which matters greatly in keeping slightly cooler, especially when compared to standard heat-absorbing black. If you need a dedicated, serious hot-weather jacket for protection that has great air flow, this is it. Do take the advice of others and size up one size. I'm 6'0", 205 lbs, I used the Revzilla sizing chart for this jacket and then had to return my original XL and get a XXL (which Revzilla did lightning fast and without a hitch), and the XXL fits great. Can't recommend enough. Now Rev'it! need to make some super-hiflow Eclipse Pants to match!

I've been very impressed with the Evlipse jacket. I opted for the brown color and it looks great with my brown leather adv boots. Great airflow and the protection (with optional Seesoft back insert) leaves me feeling confident during each ride.

A+ for style, comfort and protection.

Looks: I purchased the brown version of this jacket, and yes, the Revzilla video is way off as far as the coloring is. It is closer to the photos, but the mesh and polyester do reflect light differently but it's not as drastic to the video. i'd say it's closer to a "military brown".

Fit: I'm 6', 200lbs with some oddly long arms. I usually wear a L or XL and have a hard time finding the right balance between sleeve length and too much slack around my torso. The XL fits perfectly and the waist/sleeve adjustments help to keep everything snug. Sleeves reach my wrists with my arms extended and theres just enough room in the stomach/chest area for a back protector to fit and everything be snug. I'd say this runs a little small but there's room for adjusting. If you're over 6' go with the XL.

I was looking for a brown mesh jacket, something different than the typical black or silver mesh, and this fits the bill with a decent price tag to boot. Airflow is great, it's comfortable and well stitched. I highly recommend.

I don't review often, although I'm trying to be better about it. This jacket is a great summer jacket! It breathes really well and basically feels like you are wearing a t-shirt once you're moving. It is also durable and comes with armor, and certainly feels protective. No liner though, so don't plan to use it when it's raining or cold. I also have the Olympia switchback 2 and love that as well. If you need a 3 season jacket go with the Switchback, but the Eclipse is more stylish and much more comfortable for summer. I went with the XL, and typically wear a 44 regular in jackets, with a 35in waist. Fits great

I needed a comfy summer jacket that allowed as much airflow as possible all while providing good protection. Not only does the Eclipse check all those off, it does it with quality. I rode in 85 degree temps today and it was amazing. I followed user and Revzilla sizing recommendations and upsized to an XL and I'm glad I did. A large wouldve been too small in the arms. Only downside is no back armor.

You are not going to get protection that you would with a leather jacket, but for a mesh jacket under 200$ you can't beat it. Jacket fits well but I recommend sizing up one size above, but otherwise a great and comfortable jacket. Cannot be happier with my purchase
