I've been looking for motorcycle clothes that don't look like motorcycle clothes. This jacket is great for that. The elastic waist and wrist are a bit stiff and not very tight. Contrary to the video review, the sleeves are not tight on my forearms at all. I'm thinner than the guy wearing it in the video (I'm 5'10" 150-155lbs) and I ordered a medium. It fits nicely, but with all the armor in, it's a bit stiff to move around. However, on the bike and just walking around, it's quite comfortable. I just feel restricted when moving around, putting on a backpack, picking things up, putting my boots on, etc. But I'm wearing armor so... I kind of expected that. I also imagine that over time, the fabric will soften up and stretch out a little bit and it'll be perfect. I like that there's a full kevlar mid-layer and armor, but it's low key. Replacing the shoulder and elbow pads with something more flexible should help with the stiffness.

I ordered D30 back armor and was told my a Revzilla rep to just cut it to fit. I used the foam insert as a guide to trace the cut and used a boxcutter. It worked fine. As I mentioned, the elbow and shoulder pads are kind of stiff. They feel like cheap hockey or soccer ("football" to the non-American homies) pads. If I can find some D30 armor for those areas I will definitely replace them, since those tend to be more flexible.

I'm writing this in early winter in NY. I wore this when it was about 40 degrees with a hoodie underneath at about 40mph for 10 minutes each way just to go to the store and back. I was surprised by how much wind was blocked, but this is also my first proper motorcycle jacket. I'm not new to riding, but I was reckless in the past and didn't care about protection.

I guess the kevlar helps block the wind. Which also means it'll probably be pretty hot in the summer. There are no vents in this jacket.

It's not quite the puffy bomber jacket that skinheads (and some punks) wore back in the day, it's more like a waxed canvas homage to a bomber jacket... which I like. I would wear this with the armor removed as a spring and autumn jacket when I'm out with my kid or for some other reason not riding. And that's why I chose this jacket. It's pricey (most motorcycle gear is) so my solution (justification?) is for my motorcycle gear to be dual purpose on and off the bike.

Just got this as my first real riding jacket. It's super stylish and is seemingly very well made. Thick, yet also very comfortable. It runs small, so I had to go a size up. I'm an athletically built 6'3 195lbs with a 43 inch chest and an XL JUST fits with a little room for a hoodie should I need one. Only gripe is that the forearm fits very snug. I think some thinner armor should remedy that, but aside from that I love the jacket.

First of all, its a great style piece, albeit maybe slightly pricey. You're also going to need to get the back armor separately.

It fits small - I recommend going one size larger than what the size chart would suggest. Its tight in the forearms too, so I had to replace the stock elbow armor with something thinner.

However, its comfy, warm, fairly thick, and seems reasonably well made. The outer shell is thick and the inner lining is plush. The included armor is light and soft.

It also looks really good, and its a piece I wear a lot on and off the bike even when I'm not riding - you can't tell its moto gear.

So after much wait I just received this jacket. I ordered a Large based on the RSD website and Revzilla. I'm 5'10, 42R chest and athletic build. RSD said up to a 45in chest can fit this jacket. Being a 42 I found this jacket out of the box way too tight and restrictive movement. I'm going to return and order an XL and will update then. I really wish RSD would get their size charts on point as this will be the last go with this jacket and maybe RSD as a whole.
