Review on πŸ§₯ Ultimate Style and Protection: Joe Rocket Radar Women's Leather Motorcycle Riding Jacket by Zack Frazier

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Synthetic and leather riding jacket with narrow sleeves.

The jacket came almost immediately! I liked the looks but there are some issues inside. The style is outstanding, with contour lines and colorful stitching. Here are my comments and concerns: 1) As someone mentioned, the sleeves seem to pucker so much that simply bending my arms causes creases in my biceps which pinch me and interfere with movement and also take away from comfort. 2) Double-lining is nothing more than a transparent plastic shell; I'm really not sure what it's for, except maybe to avoid snagging on the jacket's inner mesh where the protective pads are hidden. The double lining is easy to remove, with two simple velcro straps on each sleeve, not with a clasp or loop (which I don't like). I'm not sure why you removed it; maybe because it's too tight? 3) The sleeves are to be tightened very tightly, even with zippers on the wrists; With continued use, the zipper and hems will eventually wear down. However, tight-fitting sleeves serve to keep the wind out while you ride. 4) The colored part (purple areas) is not leather but plastic; black areas - skin. Luckily I didn't notice any toxic odor from the skin treatment. 5) Adjustable waist zippers are colorful but I didn't need them to improve the fit. the opposite direction and the belt loops of the jacket were too tight, to serve as a zipper (at least on my pants, which go perfectly with other jackets). I don't know if it's a disadvantage if it's an Asian design of zippers. I would have to fully unzip and flip the zipper for it to work properly, which is a delicate process for a synthetic fabric. 7) The jacket had the best lines in terms of complementing the feminine fit. The waist narrowed very well on the inside, and the shoulder pads didn't make me look like a soccer player. 8) I followed the size chart and if the sleeves were looser it would fit just fine. Maybe my arms are longer than the average driver? 9) The hue is true to the color as shown in the picture, but I expected the hue to be more bluish; instead it is as shown, "light purple". 10) All seams are intact, I did not notice any material defects. It was well built. Despite the good factors, I returned the jacket for the reasons stated. It can serve your interests
