HI VIS MESH MOTORCYCLE JACKET FOR MENS RIDING BIKERS RACING DUAL SPORTS BIKE ARMORED PROTECTIVE (BLUE, SMALL)

6/2025: I've had this for a year, and it was purchased by me for Minnesota riding, including from 45 degrees to our hot and humid summer days. I'm 6' and 175 and the large fits me fine with room for layers. It weighs 2.79 pounds with the pads in place, and I find it comfortable with a T-shirt or sleeveless tee on the hotest days, but I think the dark colors (red/black) make it warmer on sunny days. I wear several layers under and one over it to match the temperature. A fleech liner, this Jacket, with another windproof larger jacket at 45 degrees, then just the fleece at 55 degrees and up, sometimes with a light windbreaker over the fleece, and then just this jacket with a tee, and if it's really hot I can go with just the jacket. All of these options provide me with the pads for protection, back, elbows, and shoulders. No real complaints other than the zipper pocket was cut just a little to small and as a result my 6.3" OnePlus 12 will just barely fit, so I often use the velcroed pocket instead, and that works fine. The cuffs are good for catching air when left open, and the mesh provides good air flow. Bottom line for me is I am very happy with it for the price and quality. I would like a white one, with a little more mesh and the same pads to use on our crazy MN days with the temps are over 90 and it's humid, and when I wear a half helmet rather than my full face one. But for me it's getting like golf-who wants to do ride of gold at those temps and humidity anyway? My car has air. ;-)

I read all of the reviews and watched the videos in the "Reviews" section before buying, still a bit skeptical of exactly what I'd be getting for the price. I ordered one anyway, and just received it - sooner than expected, BTW. Initial impressions: **I'll start by saying the "grey" jacket is very close to "white" - the pictures on Amazon were pretty accurate. If you're looking for a "color match", I'd guess that matters. (I like the contrast - I'll definitely be seen on the roads.) +/- 0 **I tried the jacket on and stood in front of a fan. I could easily feel the air going through the jacket. The mesh allowed air to pass without "ballooning" any of the panels. This should be a welcome feature during the hot / humid summer riding season here. +1 **I'm 5'8", 195# with broad shoulders (which are usually the toughest thing to fit for me). The XL is very close to perfect. I have a little room in the shoulders, which is what I wanted, and the rest of the jacket fits well. Sleeve length is good as well +1 **The stitching is very good - no loose threads or pulling of fibers. Appears adequate in all areas. +1 **The Velcro adjustments are very good. Placement on the cuffs and exterior waistband are good. Quality seems good (time will tell). +1 **The main/ front closure zipper was a bit stiff at first use. I expect that will improve with some use. +/- 0 **The CE armor is in the right places. **If it comes "folded / creased" like mine did, a little time / heat will relax the armor into its original shapes. +1 **The black non-color panels are all mesh material. There's no signs of fraying or unwinding like I'd expect with cheaper materials or assembly. You can easily see through the panels except where the back armor and pockets are. +1 **The collar has a soft material like microfiber or neoprene - without the weight. There are no sharp / hard nylon threads penetrating the collar. Seems very comfortable! +1 **It has a four pockets: Two lower / outside zip-up pockets - vinyl / nylon lining. Zippers work well / easily. +1 One zip-up inside left pectoral pocket that is also vinyl / nylon lined. Zipper works well / easily. +1 One Velcro closed inside left breast pocket. It is vinyl / nylon lined and feels waterproof. (The Velcro concerns me since I can see myself pulling that away from the interior structure of the jacket with use over time.) -1 **These are NOT waterproof or water resistant. Not sure why anyone would expect them to be. Asking a “Mesh Jacket” to double as Rain Gear is like installing Screen Windows in a Submarine and being surprised that water was pouring in. Originally I thought I might be buying a "One riding season "disposable" jacket".... That appears NOT to be the case. Overall, I think the positives FAR outweigh the few negatives. especially at the price. IF time proves me wrong, I'll post a subsequent review in here. But I'm guessing I'll be quite pleased with this jacket for at least several riding seasons. ***EDIT*** - Going into season THREE with this jacket. It's holding up very well. No tears, rips, pulling apart of the stitching, or zipper failures. The velcro closed pocket is still holding up well. Velcro tabs are also holding up well. This jacket STILL gets a FIVE STAR RATING in my opinion. It's withstood the test of time.

Jacket was a perfect fit and it gives good wind resistance to your chest. It surprisingly has good ventilation. So far I have ridden in tempatures of mainly 70 degree and the jacket works really well. You can ride in colder temps as long as you put another jacket underneath ( 40 degree) is the lowest I have tried. I have not tried the water resistance since it is mainly dry where I live. Overall it is a good jacket considering the price point and it just looks nice.

Quality is good. Super comfortable and water just runs right off on rainy days. Like the breathable zipper sides. Lots of pockets for everything you need. Material is good quality

Es un producto que me gusto todo, su material, sus partes de seguridad, su color muy firme y que es fresca y liguera

Very good option with a very good price tag
