I'm 5'9, 175 lbs. I ordered a large (I'm usually medium) and the jacket fits perfectly HOWEVER calling it protective gear is an exaggeration. The product is really more suitable for cosplay, halloween or maybe scooter or skateboarding. I would never recommend it to a motorcyclist or even a serious mountain biker - gives a false sense of security in my opinion, not real security. The plastic will most likely break on the first impact. There is almost no padding. Protection from abrasions at best IF it stays in place, which is unlikely given the jacket's very weak mesh fabric. Ok, renew after a few months of use. I have an expensive leather motorcycle jacket with CE patches and I actually feel safer in this piece than in this fancy jacket. It is also ideal for warm/hot weather. I wear a black hoodie underneath when it's cool, or over a t-shirt or motocross jersey when it's hot, and it just inspires more confidence than leather with some flimsy elbow pads. Leather is great for abrasions, but bumps? That's probably better. Sure it could be improved - some rib protection would be great and real CE pads under the plastic - but I obviously feel like there's decent protection in there simply because I take it first when I want to ride aggressively. The false confidence comment still stands - after all, motorcycling is inherently dangerous - but for the money, that's not an issue. Feels cheap / looks cheap with mesh and far from holding up well. I've heard from other riders that their bikes have lasted two or more years with no major issues. It also looks pretty cool when you wear a black hoodie underneath. Vibration of a space bounty hunter. In particular, the Velcro on the stomach is really in need of improvement. Riel is cheap. overall good product. Go from three to four stars based on cost and base defense.
