Versatile.
This is the only jacket I ever need.
Great for both cold and hot due to the removable sweatshirt.
Sweatshirt is super comfy and I find myself wearing it all the time. I don't have any issues while riding in the low 40's. Oh I feel gangster af in this thing.
Its hard to find shoulder, elbows, and back protection at this price point.
The jacket has a concealed carry pocket. I don't have a gun though. Until I do, I'll continue to to put sandwiches in there.

Very good Bike Wear
Is the impression from Japan
English I'm sorry because it is not skillfully.
Bike wear for Japanese had always troubled because the small size.
3 was looking for a season of bike wear.
Size is also accurate. Even with a small one size it might was good.
With a solid sewing, there is a sense of security even when worn.
Design is also good, I am very happy to buy!

Great protection and great styling
Let me preface this by saying that I am a huge Speed & Strength fan to begin with.
The jacket is true to fit, and the all black looks fantastic. The included zip up hoodie also works great in the cold weather, and removal is easy for when it gets warm. The 4 vents in the jacket work very well to cool you down in warmer weather. I also really like the way the pockets zip down to secure instead of up. The dual belt loop snaps also keep your jacket secure while riding and keep the jacket from coming up in an accident.
I was involved in a lowside accident on asphalt at about 40 MPH while wearing this jacket. I did end up getting treated at the hospital for some road rash on my left hip where I initially impacted the asphalt, but everywhere else on my body (including my feet/hand/legs/head, which were all covered by S&S gear) was unscathed. The armor in the elbows, shoulders, and back really kept me safe. The belt loop attachments kept the jacket from coming up, just as they were supposed to. As for the jacket itself, there are only 2 small abrasions on the back of the jacket - everything else is essentially "untouched" in that there is no visible damage to the jacket. I could not be happier with my Speed & Strength gear. Please remember to wear your gear all the timel

Fits large around the stomach, and arms especially with the sweater out
Body reference:
Male, 5'11", 175 lbs, 14-15% body fat, 42" chest, 13" bicep, 35" sleeve, 33" waist
If you want to use this jacket in weather above 20 deg C (70 deg F), you'll want to take out the hoody that comes with the jacket. The jacket does fit me really loose with the sweater out, similar to how an XL would fit. The midsection flops everywhere, and the arms are way too loose to keep the pads in place if I were to crash. This would not be so bad, if there was tightening straps around the ribcage and one or two along the arm.
It fits reasonably well with the sweater in. I wish I had gotten a MED instead of a L, and worn a thermal shirt instead of using the hoody. If you have a bit of a gut, or bigger arms, this jacket is perfect for you. Otherwise I would look for a more slim European cut.
The pads feel good, they seem solid and like they would hold up in a crash (if they stay in place). They are also easy to take out and adjust if you need. Airflow is pretty decent, and I can get both back vents open by reaching behind me, without taking the jacket off. This jacket is reasonably water resistant; you would be good in a drizzle or short storm for a half hour or hour. All of the zippers feel really good and easy to grab with gloves on.
I mostly got this jacket because I love how it looks, and I still like it for that. I just wish it could be adjusted to fit better.

Saved me on a 90 mph crash
Well, I put this jacket through the test that matters most, and it protected me completely. I slid on the road for probably 50 feet, and had barely a scratch on me except for my lower back where the jacket had ridden up (and a couple fingers got really messed up, because the leather on my fully armored gloves had worn thin and tore open. DON'T WEAR OLD GLOVES). The jacket was completely trashed after though. Supposedly a leather jacket might have held up better, but it was a pretty fast slide. I loved the look and feel of this jacket. I liked that it didn't scream motorcycle jacket, and could be worn around casually. Kept me pretty warm through SF Bay Area winter riding, though I would often wear an extra sweatshirt underneath it. Was nice and breathable in the summer once you unzip the hoodie from it. Dammit I wish I hadn't gone down, but at least I was wearing a good jacket.

Great three season jacket!
Overall fit and finish on this jacket is amazing. The armor in both the elbows and the shoulders do not feel cheap and flimsy. I find that this jacket out of the box for very well with and without the hooded liner. On the front of the jacket, there are plenty of pockets to hold almost whatever you need. The zippers on all areas if the jacket do not snag or bind up. One of the greatest features on this jacket is the hoody. You can remove it and wear it completely by itself and it does show a tell tale sign other then the zipper that it could be a jacket liner.
Riding with this jacket on feels amazing. I don't find any part of this jacket to hinder any movement while riding and the zippers for air on the jacket are perfect to allow some cooler air to enter and cool you down. Not at one point I felt that this jacket is too heavy for long distant rides. I ordered this jacket in XL... So it is a little loose on me but not by too much. The sleeves are a little long but nothing it doesn't get in the way of riding. If you wear gauntlet style gloves. They will not fit with the hooded liner.
I am 6'0,210lbs, 44" chest size and I find this jacket in XL to be a loose fit on me but perfect for any kind of movement while riding.
Where the jacket falls short is the concealed carry pocket holster. If you have the hooded liner on. You will need to unzip not only the jacket but the liner itself to access your firearm. Note that when you place a firearm in there, you don't want to put one in there that has a barrel length of more then four inches - good chance it won't fit. With a pistol in the concealed carry pocket, there is a buldge there but not a dead giveaway a firearm is there. I tried contacting Speed and Strength about this but I still have had no reply.
Also a big thank you to the guys at Revzilla for sending me out this jacket right away and the option to upload pics for reviews.

small handgun only
The jacket has been pretty thoroughly reviewed except for one thing: the concealed carry pocket is rather small. I didn't buy the jacket just for that, but figured I would end up using it on occasion. But it turns out both my handguns are too big. The 1911A .45 is so long the barrel is resting on the bottom of the pocket vice being suspended in the holster...and it will barely zip shut. The Sig SP2022 is shorter so it rests in the holster, but it still barely zips shut over the bottom of the handgrip. Neither of these are inconspicuous, there is obviously something bulky in the front of the jacket and someone looking for it will probably spot that you are carrying. Finally, it's only accessible without the liner in the jacket (or at least with the liner unzipped).
I'm still very happy with the jacket, but if the concealed carry feature is a key feature for you then you'll want to have a small handgun or take a pass on this jacket.

Style with no functionality
I purchased this jacket for its looks as well as a few features. I am 5'11" and 245lbs and wore a XL. It fits well on me and definitely looks cool.
The pads seem solid and I hope I never have to use them top pockets are on the smaller side, hand warmer pockets work great for storing some gloves. I wish there was more than one inner pocket as if I was conceal carrying I wouldn't want my phone in that location as well for multiple obvious reasons.
I have used this jacket in the Chicago area in temps from 35° - 75°. I was never cold in those temp but at 75° you better move that zipper down as far as possible even with just the shell on b/c there is practically no air flow. The arm vents are very small and even on my cruiser in an upright position there is nothing coming through those vents. The back vents don't seem to help pull air through when open and I can never tell when they are open or closed as there is no change in air.
Sadly it gets worse for me. I have used this jacket for a grand total of 500 miles so far. I am not rough on my gear and ghng the jacket up and carefully remove/add the hoodie etc. There are multiple locations on the jacket where the threads are coming undone. Both forearm locations, by the front right hand pocket, and the worst one... The inside pocket. Now the inside pocket is extremely bad. It seems it is single stitched and only to the inner liner of the shell. This means... It cannot carry anything of weight, yet is supposed to carry your valuables such as a phone.. And a Firearm.. Needless to say without ever carrying my sidearm in the pocket the top portion where the zipper is has come completely undone. This is bad quality and an extreme hazard should one choose to carry with this pocket.
Overall it looks great, but is poorly made and suffers from design flaws. I have also wrote the Speed and Strength company about the jackets problems hoping that they will rectify the situation as I am not content tossing $200 on a jacket that does not perform as advertised.

Great looking, needs better armor
I'm 6'5 260lbs with 45in chest and 37in arms at the long measurement. I ordered this in the Black/Orange in 3XL. It looks awesome and it could easily pass for a normal jacket/hoody.**
Fit
It fits just a little long in the hoody sleeves, but that's fine by me, as I normally have the opposite problem.
It's has plenty of room in it for layers which is nice.
The waist has velcro straps which is nice to tighten it down a bit to keep air from blowing up inside while riding.
The torso has a bit more space to it than I would like, but that comes with being tall with long arms. Can't find anything that has a good sleeve length that isn't made for someone with 40lb more in the chest/stomach.
It is pretty heavy, but I plan on using this as a winter coat so I don't mind.
Features
**Armor feels skimpy and is almost not noticable because it flexes so easily. This is likely the reason it doesn't look like an armored MC jacket. Definitely going to need to upgrade it if you are protection conscious.
Holster pocket is a nice feature, but you need to partially unzip the hoody from the outer shell in order to get to it, which means you need to leave it that way or unzip the outer shell then the hoody to get to the zipper for the holster pocket. I haven't tried it with my full size S&W M&P, but I think it would be very slow on the draw as the pocket feels very tight.
Vents are nice and fairly easy to operate with lighter gloves on.
Flows a pretty decent amount of air even with the vents closed.

Great price & great look!
After looking at different textile jackets, I went with this jacket after reading the reviews. Here is my take:
1. Size was pretty spot on from the video review. I'm 5'11", 190lbs, and am a 42R in jackets. I got a Large and with the attached hoody, it does fit pretty snug. Without the hoodie, it fits just perfectly, and the armor sits just right.
2. Ventilation is pretty good. I recently rode on a 90 degree day and the airflow was good, through the arm vents and had a comfortable ride.
3. Pockets...there are four outer pockets (3 zipper/1 velcro), and one inside for the "concealed carry". The concealed pocket for hand guns is a cool idea, but I just use it to hold my phone
Overall, it's a great jacket that provides great comfort and style for its price.

I am having a hard time deciding between this and the "Stars ans Stripes" jacket, what would you say are the differences between the two? Also I am 5'6 152ilbs and a 40in chest, should i nab a small or medium? I am not wild about something being to loose...
BEST ANSWER: From a protection standpoint they both have Vault CE armor throughout (back, shoulder, elbows) and similar density shells. They both have microfiber in the wrist and neck, similar venting systems, belt loop attachments, reflective trim on the back, same waist adjustment, and shoulder gussets. For insulation the OTC2.0 has a removable hoodie that can be worn an its own when not on the bike but the SaS has a removable vest liner and zip off hood that cannot be used without the jacket. Onto fitment, they both have an American cut with a generous fit. but if you are worried about getting the wrong size i have had to exchange products for size with revzilla before and it's a breeze. just a quick phone call and print out a shipping label box it back up and you are done. they automatically ship out the new size when the return gets in. Last thing is style and im sure the pictures can explain those differences better than i can. Good luck and i hope this information helped.

So I'm really diggin the all black murdered out option on this jacket, but I need some help in which size to get. Unfortunately, im more on the smaller side standing 5'6" and 145lbs. I measure 32in (sleeve) and 35 (chest). I see the smallest size they have is 33 on the sleeve and 38-40 (chest). Anybody think the small will be alright? Or should I just keep searching for another jacket? Any advice would really help. Thanks
BEST ANSWER: I'm 6 fwet tall and 155 lbs. I have the small and it fits snug. I wouldn't want it to be any smaller, that's for sure. You'd probably be fine with the small but hard to say for sure. It's a great jacket though. I love it!

How is this jacket in colder temps? My experience with riding has never been being too warm, it's always being stuck riding in the dark and the temp drops to around 40-50F. Will this jacket hold up or will the wind cut through the zipper?
BEST ANSWER: I have this jacket, and it's fairly warm. The sweat shirt sleeves are longer than the jacket sleeves by a decent amount, so you can have your thumb in the hole and put your gloves on over that. It's decent with the wind, but it will draft some what. I tend to put on an extra long sleep or a crew neck sweatshirt still when it's below 50 degrees. But I'm also a pansy when it comes to cold weather riding.

BEST ANSWER: I love this jacket, but they do run a little large. It's not really noticeable if you are layered up for cold weather riding and leave the hoodie liner in the jacket, but just the jacket is large. The main issue is the placement of the elbow protection. Since the jacket runs large, without the layers underneath, the armor doesn't cover the impact points on your arms. Sorry to turn you away from a product I've enjoyed, but I think your concerns are valid.

Being water resistant and not waterproof, how well does this jacket do in the rain?
BEST ANSWER: I personally must say this isn't the best rain jacket. It will hold up just fine during a short rain shower, but if you will be riding during a constant rain shower I wouldn't recommend this jacket at all. I once rode for about 20 miles in the rain and I thought it was going to hold up, however the rained had seeped through by the time I parked by bike. I had to let my jacket air dry for a couple of days. If you know you will be riding in the rain just get a rain proof jacket.
