Review on ๐Ÿงฅ ILM Carbon Fiber Armor Shoulder Motorcycle Jacket for Men and Women - Model JK41 (Size L, Color: Black) by Prentice Fossett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Runs small but feels good

I've been wearing this in Texas for about a month so basically 100F most days. Surprisingly comfortable in the heat once you remove the inner lining. It feels good, nice and cool as long as you're not lounging in the light. It's unisex and the cut is a bit odd for me. I'm a slob and just buy the plus sizes and let them drape me. This is a small incision around the abdomen. I actually like it, but at first I thought it was a bit small. The white border is reflective, but there's not much of it and at night it looks like random lines, not a person's outline. Nice touch, but I wouldn't want to rely on it to get anyone's attention. Two pieces are unisex and the zipper has to go one way or the other. It's on the traditional women's side. Not a big deal, but I have a safety vest for night riding and it has a men's size zip and that's the only time I realize it's not "standard" for me. I've also lost a fair amount of weight and am between L and XL for most of the items I've bought. I went for the XL but it runs small and I'm not sure I want to add more than 10lbs before it gets too tight for my liking (I'm currently 6ft 0/220lbs). Update: After about a year of fairly regular use, I bought a second one for my son. The first one showed no signs of wear and it was sitting in the back seat with me and was about to work on his driver's license so it was about time. I got the big one this time and it works well for him (5ft 6in and rugby uniform, 145lbs).

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
