Very Nice
Very nice classy jacket.Has spots for back, elbow and shoulder armour. I am using CE level 1 armour, Harley branded flat armour, fits great in the shoulder and elbows. The back I am using is from Rev'it.I am 5'10" 240lbs, chest is 49, waist is 42. I got 2xl and it fits a little tight in the shoulder with the jacket liner and armour installed. Not enough to hinder movement or make the jacket uncomfortable. Otherwise the Jacket fits very well.The leather is super soft and feels great. It does a great job of blocking the wind. I use it for a short 20 minute commute, and the jacket w/liner is good alone down to 30F.I really like that it does not have a neck closure snap, those really annoy me. The sleeve openings are good and fit well. Just enough room for gloves to tuck under them, and if you wear gauntlet gloves they should fit over the sleeves.The inner pockets (both sides) are huge, will fit many items.this jacket has small airflow vents, seriously doubt these will do any good once it gets warm. I got this jacket for cold weather and it works great for it.

Really Nice. Fit to Ride
I really like this jacket. Heavy duty, great quality. Reading other reviews, I feel the need to point out a couple things. This jacket is meant to fit you while you are in riding position, not while you are standing. So, while you are standing, the sleeves will be a bit long. So, while you are riding with your arms up and grabbing the handle bars, it fits.The jacket has vented back slits and vented chest pockets. It also has a zip out lining meant to keep you warm, along with zippers to tighten the sleeves around your forearm to keep wind out. If you just unzip the back vents, they won't help to cool you off. You have to take out the lining (the thing meant to keep you warm), you have to unzip the front vent pockets and the sleeves in order to let air IN, so it can take the hot air OUT the back vents...

Love this Jacket!
Needed a solid cold weather jacket for riding, and this is definitely it. Where as I used to use mesh jackets with inner liners and still feel all the cold, this jacket is outstanding.For example, I took an excursion one weekend and the temps were about 48 when I left the house. All I had on underneath was a regular hoodie t-shirt. Temps quickly dipped down and by the time I rolled into the house, to my surprise temps had gotten into the 30's! I was on the highway for probably a solid hour as temps ducked under 40 and I was hauling ass but I didn't feel anything hit my upper extremities.Comfortable fit, I'm 6' about 225, 36" waist. I got the XL and its almost too big for me. For reference I have a REV-IT summer mesh jacket and 2XL is almost tight on me. I was able to transfer my CE armor from my REV-IT jacket to this jacket, but the fit is a little goofy, would probably recommend buying First Manufacturing pads for a better fit. I was just being a cheapskate since I already invested a few $100 in protection.Pockets for days, although I don't have a habit of stowing much in my jackets. Inner Liner is real solid.Above 50 degrees I'm almost sweating wearing it. 55 I have to wear a t-shirt only.In conclusion, if you need a solid cold weather jacket, this company makes some kick ass jackets. Very happy.

Almost a great jacket
I'm not one for black jackets but this is pretty dark for a brown jacket. I was kind of expecting that anyway from reading other reviews, but still looks really good. The pockets are great, especially the inside pockets being big enough to put a phone and a wallet in there without feel like you're trying to parallel park your belongings. It is quite a bit bit heavier than what I am used to but then again makes it perfect for colder climates where I am at. I can wear a simple long sleeve shirt under this jacket while riding in the low 30s at highway speed. I bought the medium, it is still a tad large with me being 6ft tall and 160-170lbs. But fills up fairly well with the liner and armor.With that being said, the armor pockets are really small. I had to trim down the armor I had to make them fit. The zippers on the pocket could use some tassels to make them easier to use especially with gloves on.And to get a better fit out of the jacket, I ended up getting some eyelets at Walmart and punched a fourth eyelet into the side buckles. That tightened up the jacket almost perfectly to my body.

Comfortable fit, fantastic quality.
Super comfy. I ordered a medium, which is the size I usually wear in jackets and shirts. It's a bit long with my arms down, but barely raises above my wrists while riding, so it's fine. The armor pockets in the forearms and back are your standard CE pockets, but the shoulders take circular pads, not the oval shaped ones. Even without the pads, this jacket is fairly heavy, but it's not unbearable. The thermal layer actually goes down the length of the sleeves and buttons from the inside, and is nice and toasty. The mesh lining lets your torso breathe enough to get the sweat off abs the back vents let in a bit of air, but with no front vents it can get stuffy in a hurry with it zipped all the way up. Overall I am very satisfied with this jacket, it's well worth the price tag.

Fits
I'm built like a barrel, 58 chest and 58 waist. Took a chance and ordered a men's 5x. I probably would have bought a 6x if it were available but I think that might have been too big. A little snug around the mid-section but fits good on the way up. I can get the zipper closed and still move around and breath. I'm thinking it will get better with age or if I lose some weight. Sleeves are a good length for riding.Took it for a ride on a hot day and it wasn't terrible. Removed the liner, unzipped the sleeves, opened the back vents, and left the front zipper down about 4-6 inches. Seemed good while I was moving.I like the quality. It's a heavy jacket for sure. The only complaint is that I wish the fitment charts were a little more accurate (that is when they are available).
