This is a tremendous value for your $60 ! Jacket is comfortable & versatile, zip out winter liner, open ventilation zippers & it can work even in 80+ degree weather IF you are moving. Also good down into the low 50s (cold as I ride), I'm sure down to the 40's with a better thermal than I use. Fit is good, but arms a bit long. I THINK my size is a L (it will say on my review header), and I"m 5'9" and 210# and at that weight, the chest is perfect but the arms are a tad long on me. The real solution is for my weight to drop down below 200, then I'm sure the next size down will be perfect, thanks to my new 18:6 Intermittent daily fasting, I'm now at 204# and jacket is now quite loose on me lol ! The only possible criticism I see is the elbow pad pockets seem to be a tad mis-aligned, so that the pads aren't centered on my elbows perfectly. Not sure if it's was sewed slightly off or if my body is out of alignment with the rest of humanity - probably the latter ! Have their insulated pants and they're perfectly suitable too. Fully the value of gear offered at Cycle Gear, but you can't try on first. I read a ton of these reviews & got the sizing right first try. Cheers - David in Texas Read more

Great jacket. Fit: I'm 5'10", 175 lbs, athletic build: 44" chest, 33" waist. XL per the size chart is too big for me. Even with the nice warm liner installed, there is just too much room inside. If you are near my size then I recommend a size large.Everything is very nice and high quality except for the fit. Arm length is fine. Waist is ok since it is adjustable with external velcro straps. The torso and chest however are too loose. I plan to sell this one on FB Market and then buy another one here in size L. Read more

Overall the jacket is of reasonable quality for such a low price. In Colorado I've ridden with it fully lined in 40ΒΊ and it was perfectly comfortable. Above 75ΒΊ it is quite hot. The vents are okay, but only if you have a full stream of wind hitting them, riding behind a modest fairing/windshield renders them pretty useless. The liner zips out and unbuttons from the sleeves pretty quickly so transitioning is easy. I'm 6' and 240lbs and I got an XL. It fits snug like a motorcycle is supposed to, but not tight, quite a perfect fit for me. I have broad shoulders and a thicker middle section and normally wear XL shirts and ordered the jacket to match and was not disappointed. The two downsides I see are #1 it's not a warm weather jacket whatsoever. There is good protection with quality materials, but the trade off is warmth. On cold days it is great. #2 the sleeves at the wrist are pretty enormous and the velcro closures flap around if you close them snugly. When it's warm I've kept them somewhat looser than I would like so air flows into the sleeves, this alleviates the closure flap issue, but I don't like that when they are snug there's 2 inches of velcro flap that has nothing to attach to. It is good when it's warm to fit around larger gloves if that's how you like to ride. For the fit and value I'm overall impressed. I'm looking for another jacket for hot weather. Read more

Great jacket for the price! I've had this jacket for over 4 years now and I am very impressed with its performance, especially at this price! I ride a dual sport in the mountains of Colorado and New Mexico during the summer and fall months and mornings can be cold! It breaks the wind well but a hoodie under the liner helps me stay warm. During the sunny days in the large high desert valleys it can warm up pretty good and as long as I'm moving the vents work well (Of course the liner and hoodie are now rolled up in my back pack). I've spent numerous 8+ hour 200 mile days with no discomfort. I even caught a rut wrong and landed in some sagebrush, the forearm padding did its job and the jacket showed not even a scuff. I'm really considering buying another as a spare. Many years ago (2002) with my first street bike I purchase an Alpinestars textile jacket on clearance for around $100, this jacket is about on par with that one in quality. Read more

Very comfortable jacket, durable and fits perfectly. The lining is a good idea even in summer keep it in a cool spot and the hot air wont roast you (In Southern AZ dry heat anyways). I love the tough zippers and venting options. Read more

This is a great jacket. I usually wear XXL, but I ordered XXXL when I saw it was made in Pakistan. That was a good decision, fits like a glove. I like the construction, the design, and the materials. The only critic would be that the zippers are kind of small, I like big zippers. I should have bought a grey or blue so when summer comes it will be more comfortable . Fantastic jacket for the price. I might order an additional one Read more
