Milwaukee Leather Mens Long Sleeve Solid Biker Shirts w CE Armor - Reinforced w Aramid Fibers

When the package was delivery (in a plastic bag) the 1st thing I noticed was the weight. Very Heavy. Opened the package and we were very impressed. Riding shirts can be difficult to pick out and purchase because there are so many of them with different features. My son said when he held the package "this is heavy, it's not a summer shirt". But when he put it on he said "hey, this isn't that heavy, the liner is light, it feels great and I might be able to wear it on warm days for the protection". This is a quality shirt that you see and feel is going to protect you if something happens and it's at a Great price. The included pads are not thin and flimsy. MY son bought me another brand from a retailer in town at double the price and half the quality. Size is true, he's a large and the large fits (sleeves are a little long but he used the 2nd button on the sleeve to keep it from going over his wrist) Color Grey is very nice. Quality shirt with protection and a quality price. Highly recommended. Read more

Amazing quality! Very happy with this purchase! Price was fair, sizing was accurate and it fits comfortably. The armored inserts are not too bulky and feel very natural in the shirt. There is even a slot on the back to add another piece of protection. The buttons and zipper feel like great quality and I appreciate the weight of the whole jacket. It isn’t too bulky or heavy. It can be warm if you need it to be or opened up for the summer months. I especially like the under arm zippers to get airflow to the pits! Plus the gun pockets have retention bands in the so your pistols aren’t just flopping around. There is also a rear belt attachment to stop it from riding up or flapping too much. Very impressed and will definitely buy from this company again. For once, a company was affordable and has high quality products. If you are on the fence, they are worth the shot. Read more

I take an XL Tall in normal US sizing, brought the 2XL so it would fit over a sweatshirt if needed. Yeah, forget that! It fits over a T-shirt and that's it - very tight sizing! I actually measured it, as I figured they had sent the wrong size. There is no size indication in the actual jacket, only a carboard label pinned to sleeve. It barely meets their listed sizes for 2XL - and I mean barely! The sleeves are a good length - nice and long for when arms are extended on the bike but body itself is short in comparison. It seems pretty thick, good heavy duty zip and studs, body armor is nice and so probably won't need layers under it. Overall, it appears well made and the price is reasonable. But do go up at least one size if not two or you'll be disappointed! Read more

I ordered a 3XL as the 2XL I had received a couple weeks ago was a little snug in the forearms (but good everywhere else. (I'm not a big guy and an XL would probably be fine but I don't like the sleeves being too snug.) Anyways the 3XL arrived during lunch so I washed my hands, cut open the box and gave the jacket an admiring glance. And despite the 38 (Celsius - 100 F) temperature I tried the jacket on. It instantly became my favourite riding jacket. The arms are a big bigger and the jacket is a bit looser which will be fine if I'm wearing more than just a t-shirt underneath it. Just realized that each of the "hidden" gun pockets actually has 2 "stretchy" loops inside - one to hold your pistol and one to hold a spare magazine. Button and zipper front closure. Snap cuffs with zippered "expansion" for thick wrists or handcuffs. Has the standard "pocket" in the upper-back (inside) where the optional "Spine Pad" can be inserted ($22 on Amazon) as well as the "tie down loop" to attach the back of the jacket to your pants (useful when riding around cold places like your ex-wife's yard). As the jacket is a little big for me (everywhere except the arms) I have to give the "armoured pads" a bit of a jiggle to get them where they should be. No big deal. Tried out one of the elbow pads on my wooden work bench. Quickly realized my elbow would break long before the bench would but the pad kept me from hurting myself. My only suggestion would be to have a "hand pocket" on each side. You know, a pocket to warm your hands in or keep spare parts, extra shotgun shells, snot-rags and court summons in. I normally wear a heavy leather "biker" jacket (with all the pockets and zippers) and it is heavy. This jacket is a little lighter but not much so I only gave it 3 stars in the "Lightweight" category. I wasn't expecting it to very light anyways. This is hilarious. I bought 2 of these and had them shipped to Thailand no problem at all. But when I look at the "back armor pad" - it says none available - until I change my mailing address to a US based address. What's even more hilarious you say ? The item description says "Made in Pakistan" but the jackets were shipped from Chicago - with a CHINESE courier company ! But the look, feel and quality are all top-notch and if for some weird reason I ever need to order another jacket I wouldn't hesitate to order another one of these. In the photo I tried to show the inner (right) pocket that can be used for a phone/headphones/powerbank/whatever. You can see the snap/zipper closure on the wrist and you might be able to make out the stretchy loops from one of the "gun pockets". Which are frikken huge ! You could stick a Mac 10 in each side ! Oh right - almost forgot about my now cold lunch. Oh well, that's what microwaves are made for ! Read more

So far so good. This seems like a very well made jacket. This is not a light weight jacket and it's a bit scary to put it on in the California summer heat to go take a ride in. It has several zippers under the arms and in the sleeves for ventilation. It also has a heavy duty zipper and snaps on the front. I chose to use the snaps on my first ride and leave the zipper unzipped to let more air in the front. On my first ride (85 degree weather, 29C) I was pleasantly surprised how well ventilated the jacked was. I was comfortable riding and could feel the air coming in through the arms/sleeves. The padding is CE level 2. It did not come with back protection but does have a fishnet type pouch to insert a pad. I bought a $15 CE level 1 pad from Amazon and with a little trimming with a scissors, trimmed about an inch off and it fit fine. I never felt the weight of the jacket while riding, it seemed like a normal evening jacket. I am very happy with the purchase. Read more
