ALPHA CYCLE GEARHI VIS MESH MOTORCYCLE JACKET FOR MENS RIDING BIKERS RACING DUAL SPORTS BIKE ARMORED PROTECTIVE... (BLACK, 2X-LARGE)

Everything I wanted in a hot weather, hi-vis jacket. Well vented, all black fabric is open mesh so no rain protection. Comfortable with back shield removed. Sleeves are correctly tailored for arms-forward riding position. Fit on size large allows room for a fleece under liner on rider 69" x 170 lbs. (without beer belly).

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. +1One zip-up inside left pectoral pocket that is also vinyl / nylon lined. Zipper works well / easily. +1One 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 please with this jacket for at least several riding seasons.

Fits good, looks nice.. Pads are a little small and a little flimsy so I don't know how much they would actually protect if I went down. The pads also seem to curl a bit affecting how flat they lay in the jacket. I hope I don't have to test the actual effectiveness of the padding and fabric durabilty, but on other factors I'm happy with it.

I bought a xl usually I’m between that and a large. This jacket fits good. I bought a moto boy jacket in the same size and felt like a medium for a child. This is worth the money

Fits well, high visibility, good air flow for cool mornings in Florida

Whoohoo!!! Wow .. way better than I expected. So I'm a bit older (in my 50s) and I've always just worn a leather jacket or, if it's really hot out, I'll just wear a wool shirt with long-sleeves while riding. So the inevitable happened and I went down. Tore my leather jacket up something horrible. Ripped it all along the back, and the left arm all but tore away. It was obvious how much it protected me. More than I would have guessed, but the incident caused some shoulder damage and tore my elbow up pretty good too. I thought about just getting another leather jacket, but figured maybe try one of these actual "motorcycle" jackets with padding, designed for riders. The problem, I live in Arizona and it gets super hot, so it would need to be really lightweight AND allow air flow. Imagine that - a jacket that is NOT designed to keep you warm? This one does a pretty good job, it's mesh so it only adds a little warmth, kind of like a light windbreaker. In addition I didn't want to look like a goofball, walking around in one of those bright colored, hard armored things that stand out in a crowd. You know the ones, look great while your riding, but you look like a doofus in line at the movies. This one looks fairly normal when unzipped and just walking around (Not as good as a nice leather jacket, but still not bad). Fits wonderfully great !!! It has all sorts of adjustments to give you a comfortable good looking fit, no matter your size. I'm a short, round guy so I was worried about the sizing. I needed enough material to get around my belly, but still have arms that fit a short guy. So I got the 4X and with the adjustments, it fits great. I am absolutely amazed at the quality of this jacket for the price. I hope never to test the padding and durability, but I feel so much better with it, and confident it will keep me from serious injury in a similar accident. Get yourself one.

Great for mid and warm temp riding. Mesh keeps you nice and cool and armor seems to be in all the right places. Super comfy, I bought +2 sizes in case I want to layer under it, but would recommend going at least +1 size from your usual.

Quality products.. great ventilation.. strong fabric…size are accurate.. just follow the size table that they provide..

Excelente producto

Jackets are super hard to buy from amazon. there is so many products that are usually not what was expected, and then sizing can be the next super awkward issue.I was purchasing this jacket for a summer jacket, for a boy that is a first time rider that just got his licience. I did read the instructions very carefully and went by the supplied charts.when the product arrived, it fit perfectly! super happy with this jacket. it has the protections where they are needed, and is built rather nice. its is a lighter jacket meant for summer riding. For the price, it is perfect.I will buy another jacket for sure, from same supplier, when we need another one, or want extras. This is a sale that I actually felt the money spent was worth it.

Muy cómoda,segura y fresca.

Me encantó, es bastante fresca en climas calurosos. Si es muy frio el clima con un sweter debajo será suficiente. Muy recomendada
