ALPHA CYCLE GEAR HI VIS MESH MOTORCYCLE JACKET FOR MENS RIDING BIKERS RACING DUAL SPORTS BIKE ARMORED PROTECTIVE... (BLACK, 3X-LARGE)

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.

Highly visible (Lime Green) Good padding, breathable, nice material, fully adjustable, really nice jacket especially at this price point. I'm very happy with this & definitely recommend if you're on a tight budget.My buddy commented at a stop while riding, saying that jacket is highly visible, if someone doesn't see you they're blind and shouldn't be driving in the first place. Looks good too.

The media could not be loaded. What I like about this jacket it fits my frame, a little bulky it the middle, but I can deal with that. It leaves room for the colder days when I layer up. I also love the over all look of it, the style of the jacket will fit my motorcycle.It is VERY light weight and more ti follow on the second review once my new bike get in!23 Aug 2024!!!ReviewLol sorry it looks so long but, YES! I would definitely recommend this jacket to anyone. In the cold I'd wear layers because of the mesh, it still gives you the air in it but for a good comfortable ride. Even getting a small and having a long sleeve on with a hoodie it's still good to go aka G2G. It doesn't flapp around when you pick up speed. Worth every penny!

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 pleased with this jacket for at least several riding seasons.***EDIT*** - Going into season THREE with this jacket. It's holding up very well. No tears, rips, pulling apart of the stitching, or zipper failures. The velcro closed pocket is still holding up well. Velcro tabs are also holding up well.This jacket STILL gets a FIVE STAR RATING in my opinion. It's withstood the test of time.

I bought this for my new bike - first time riding in 300 years! I'm kidding 😂 about the 300 years. Anyhow I am always skeptical about anything I buy online but this jacket is ok. Able to adjust for perfect fit. Has good pockets. Won't keep you warm on cold nights but it's good quality. Wind resistance is good as it's a mesh so great for riding in the heat - yesterday it was 102, for instance. Not overly thick and easy to ride it. The added and most important bonus? The plates inside for protection. On cold nights? I wear my leather jacket over it, adding more protection. Glad I bought it.

Great Product! Good quality and perfect fit! Many good features in this jacket!
