| Great jacket -- I got this to replace a cheaper mesh jacket, and it's a huge improvement. Fits well (I'm 5'9", 160 and ordered the large) with room for layers underneath. Comfortable on the warm and cool days I've ridden in so far -- in the 50s to the 80s. I expect it to work well in cold weather also. Also, the wife says it looks sexy. |

| Love the jacket. Greatfit and good looking too. I used it with th eliner removed and had a crash. Jacket did as it was designed to do and protected my upper body, (no injuries at all on upper body) Jacket has a tear along the seam on right arm and a small hole on the left arm. Both easy fixes. I'll probably buy another one soon.

| I bought this jacket a few months ago so that I can continue to ride in the colder weather. I, like many others, was skeptical about the qualtiy of a jacket at the prices that leatherup has but I was very surprised and happy with this jacket. In regards to the size I wish I would have gotten a 2xl rather than a regular XL. I am 5'10" and weight 225 with broad shoulders and chest and its tough to find clothes or jackets that fit just right. With the liner in it is pretty tight but it keeps my very warm even in temps as low as mid 30's. without the linner it fits much better and even in temps around 90 I felt comfortable when I was moving, when stopped it gets a little toasty. overall I am very pleased with this jacket and I would recommend it!! 2006 Boulevard M50 |

| Ordered one size larger and was glad I did. The only issue I had with the coat was that the velcro for the back armor pouch was not stitched well and ready to fall off. Other than that, this coat is warm and it is also a great looking coat. |

| Very nice jacket. It looked good in the pictures but it looks a lot better in real life. Very well made. Since it's mid-July with temps 100 nearly every day can't judge how warm it will be but with the quilted lining (removable) and the tight outter shell this should be a warm jacket with the option of wearing with no liner on slightly cool days.
Size runs small so definitely order the next size larger. I'm 6'2"/250# and normally wear a 2XL. A 2XL would have been a snug fit which some prefer. I prefer a bit of looseness. A 3XL fit perfectly with just enough looseness for comfort. The sleeves are long enough that when reaching out on the handlebars the sleeves don't ride up exposing bare skin at the wrists.
I don't care for padded shoulders, back and elbows but the pads are easily removed and doesn't leave that baggy look. The pads aren't bad, they're flexible rubber, not the rigid plastic, so even with them in they're not uncomfortable.
This is an excellent jacket at a very excellent price. |

| Nice jacket. I'm 6',165. Normally wear a 42 jacket and my chest measures about 39-40. Ordered Large jacket and the fit is perfect for me. Have not ridden with jacket yet.
With the liner I could still layer a bit underneath with shell vest or additional insulation. Without liner jacket still fits well.
Arm cinches are nice and keeps elbow armor in the right place. All the armor is very comfortable. Nice pockets and pouches inside. Waist cinches are handy for keeping the fit tight at the bottom.
Not a real long jacket, coming just below the waist for me, not completely over the hips. Construction seems good, durable material but not a terribly heavy jacket even with the armor. White panels will help visibility but are not reflective. Logos on upper sleeve are reflective. Looks really good in person. |

| Great Jacket. I ordered one size above my normal size range and I'm sure glad I did. The jacket fits perfect. Liked the armor too. Though the stripe is not reflective, it all boils down to having the biker ride their bikes safely. |

| It seems like everyone has their opinion about sizing on Leatherup.com but does not give their measurements. Fortunately, I ignored the reviews and went with the sizing chart. I am 6'1, 165 lbs with a 40" chest, 32" waist and 34-35 sleeve length. I ordered the Large and it fits great with or without the liner. It would fit someone a littler larger than me well. Some jackets are short, but this one comes down to a little below my hips.
The quality is impressive for the price. Very wind resistant and warm at 40 degrees. The armor is nice, but I imagine that in an accident the armor would shift and expose your shoulder or elbow unless the jacket was extremely tight fitting. However, it is comforting to be riding with sturdy protection. |

| My first riding jacket and I love it.
Great fit and yes I did move up one size as recommended in the other reviews!
Looking forward to see how it performs in the rain. |
