Review on 🏍️ Enhanced Safety & Comfort: Men's Blade Motorcycle Riding Leather CE Armor Biker Ventilated Jacket Black XL by John Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Poor fit but good protection and great value

At $109 you won't get $300 more fit and quality but for the novice or casual rider it gets the job done and for the experienced rider with one big waist, this is a good and reliable buy. I have a 48" chest and 34" waist and ordered the XL which fits over the shoulders and chest but floats around the waist. The velcro on the underside of the front zip won't hold up and will crumple the front of the jacket if caught. Я решил эту проблему, закрепив куртку на бедрах с помощью фиксирующих металлических зажимов, и она выглядит примерно так же, как рекламируемая фотография, но все еще имеет большой люфт, который делает ее воздушной подушкой при скорости выше 60 миль в час и может действовать как маленький dragon. over 80 mph, which can be unnerving in strong crosswinds, but it's manageable. If you have a 48" chest and 42" waist then that's no problem - it fits like a glove. However, I do love the jacket, especially in very hot weather when I open the two front vents and the jacket bulges out a bit from my body at speed - sure I look like a skin-veiled Pillsbury dough boy, but I'm not sweaty, and at the same time protected. The armor pads move and aren't attached very well, but again the benefit here is that they accommodate men of different sizes and get the job done. The frontal armor works great, especially for the big bugs at over 100mph - you can hear them banging on your jacket but not feel them - and I've also been hit by rocks, metal and all sorts of road debris at speed, with a few The slits in the leather were deep to show it off and it protected me - that alone is reason enough to buy this jacket and live with the fads - and the reason I wear leather over fabric. The zips have held up pretty well over 4 seasons and many many miles. I just took the plunge and bought a more expensive, better fitting jacket but will be keeping this in my boyfriend's closet. For riders on a budget, this is the best insurance and leather protection you can get for $27 a season and it was worth it. If you only have $100 or so I highly recommend this. Have fun driving.
