Milano Sport Gamma Motorcycle Jacket

This is a jacket produced by rather not famous brand called "Milano Sports". I bought it because I wanted to buy a jacket with minimal cost and decent protection. I was just starting to ride. I must say this jacket is a tough competition to any of those famous brands out there. While styling is somewhat a subjective matter form my perspective this jacket does total justice to style. I have the white/black one. I would classify styling as highly aggressive. It has a V taper in design , and it therefore looks more aggressive than some of the other jackets. The 3d minor armor design also accentuates the design positively. The only tacky part I thought was a huge logo of the brand on one side. But thats a minor thing. Now, protection, it comes with an upgrade-able back protector slot, and CE plastic foam protectors on shoulders and elbow forearm region. It has a zip in liner for winter, Its best till early part of spring. Anything above 75F might be too hot, unless its windy. Fit is almost perfect, I am 5.7 about ~145 pounds. I have basic build good pectoral girdle. It fits me perfectly with one minor annoyance. The armors are hidden behind a velvet cover, so removing adding them is a bit annoying. The shoulder armor slips forward if not fitted properly when you wear the jacket, but that may just be because of the strange sizing of US (S/M instead of a number which is more closer fit). I am pretty sure if medium is 50, then 48 would be "the " fit for me. The only other problem I can think of (and I am really thinking hard about anything that annoys me here) is that the sleevs are large in diameter/width. They come with a velcro adjuster but its just bulky, even doing that. Maybe they have left the additional room for the armor and I generally remove my forearm protector in in-city riding. Overall I would easily ask anyone to prefer this jacket, in worst case you can return it back, and thats minor annoyance, but this minor brand has produced a good jacket for affordable price!

I've been using my jacket now for about a month, and so far I'm very happy with it. I haven't had a chance to try it out with the removable lining attached, because it's summer time where I am, but it seems like it'd be very warm in winter, although at 80 miles per hour on a freezing highway there are no guarantees I guess. The jacket looks great, and fits me very well. I'm very skinny and about average height (5'10"), so I ordered a size small, which is what I usually wear with jackets. I read a few reviews telling people to order a size or two larger than what you think you need, but my size small fits me perfectly, espescially when I tighten the sleeves with the velcro straps. I prefer slightly tight-fitting clothes, but if you want something a little looser on your body you may possibly want to try a size larger than what you think you need. Maybe try looking up some sizing charts online somewhere. Given that it's a black jacket, it does tend to get rather hot in the summer time, but that's to be expected. I bought this jacket because I like black and it looks great, not because I thought it'd keep me cool while sitting in traffic on hot roads with a hot bike between my legs. In any case, the zippered vents near the shoulders are reasonably adept at allowing cool air inside while you're moving. The shoulder and elbow pads line up almost perfectly with my body, and the padding seems extremely durable - I'm sure it'd protect me very well in a crash, but obviously I don't ever want to have to find out for sure. I feel much safer while wearing it, at any rate. This review is rambling on longer than I intended, so I'll just conclude by saying it's a great jacket, it looks wonderful, it's durable, and it fits well. Thank you, Milano. Read more

The jacket does good for the money and convenience of Amazon but it isn't perfect. The styling is good but the the branding on the back of the neck and both sleeves makes me not want to wear it at times. The padding on the elbows and shoulders is CE rated but there is NOT a back protector. Well, there is a piece of foam that will not protect much if you do happen to fall. You could go ahead an buy one online to insert but that'll cost you around 40-70 depending on the style that fits the jacket. But that will probably put this jacket near the $200 range and in that case you can get something a bit more comfortable, stylish, and more protected from a more reputable company. I paid about $130 for this Jacket in Feb of 2020 price may have gotten lower or higher at a later time. Sizing is a bit small. I usually wear a large on everything but I got an XL on this jacket and it is still a bit too tight for me. I am 5'5 and 185 (fat not muscle) in between a 34 -36 size in pants. Length wise, it just reaches my waistline. I also have a Cortech Piuma jacket that cost me around $197 and there is definitely a difference in quality. The Milano certainly feels nice and safe but if isnt made out of the high end material. The lining feels a bit thin and delicate. The inside zippers feel like they're about to get stuck and the Velcro feels like they're going to yank the lining off. It is a good jacket though. You get removable paddings and a removable termal liner that does keep you warm. I ride in Los Angeles and the coldest I have gotten was about 60 F. When we have hit 90ish degree weather and I have forgotten to take out the termal liner my arms sweat and the liner sticks to my arms. That is also something to consider. The termal liner goes all the way into the sleep, the Cortech I have has more of a termal vest where the termal lining doesn't have sleeves. Overall a good looking jacket with good not great protection. You may want to invest in a back protector. Read more
