| Firstly, the service was outstanding and the jacket only took a week to reach New Zealand.
I had read the comments by some others regarding getting a size up, but took the risk of getting my normal XL and it fitted perfectly. Quality is excellent with good pockets, and air vents which work quite well in warmer weather. I can't comment on its waterproof properties as yet, but that wasn't one of my criteria - the hi-viz feature was the main reason. Overall, it represents exceptional value for money and I'm delighted with the purchase.

| The jacket overall is really good. I agree on sizing by other reveiwers. I am disappointed that after you remove the internal zip out lining that you lose valuable storage space for items that you might want to keep out of the way or safewr. The other BIG disappointed with the design is that there are NO sleeve tightness adjusters. This makes for a very sleeve flappy ride. I suggest coming up with some over the sleeve elastic type bands to stop the flapping. Without the sale price of ~$80 I probably would not buy it because of the looseness of the sleeves. |

| This jacket is very high quality. As others suggested, I ordered one size larger and the fit was perfect. I am 6' 0" and weigh 220. Normally I wear an extra large. I ordered 2X and it is perfect. The armor in the back was perfectly placed and there was no discomfort from leaning on my motorcycle backrest; could not even tell the armor was there. I recently rode over 2500 miles from SW Florida to Indianapolis and back. I started without the liner but put it in when temps dropped into the 60's. Kept the liner in for the rest of thre trip. Range of temps encountered with liner in were from 79 F to 51F. Coat is very comfortable. I will buy again from LeatherUp!!! Thanks!!! |

| Nice jacket for the money and super-fast shipping! I like the armor because it's not very restrictive, yet it's apparently rated to the highest level of protection that the CE has. I can't give it 5 stars because there's absolutely no reflective material anywhere on the jacket.
According to the size chart, I would take a large. Based upon others' reviews, I ordered an XL. I think that may have been a mistake. It fits fairly well across the shoulders (my shoulders are a bit broad for my overall size/build), but the torso area is noticeably loose, even with the liner in. For winter layering, that's fine, but for a mild to warm-weather jacket, it's not so good because a good motorcycle jacket should be almost a snug fit. Haven't decided whether to exchange it yet or not, but Leatherup's exchange policy makes it a snap if I do! |

| First, the jacket itself is super nice. It seems well made, lots of pockets, vents, etc. And Leatherup has been great.
But we find (got it for my husband) that they run very small. My husband is 205lbs and 6' tall, but is pretty lean and muscular, not fat. But he has never worn anything in a 2XL. We first got the XL, thinking that should be plenty big enough, based on all his other clothes. But it was quite small. We returned it for a 2XL... surely that would be big enough. We just got the 2XL, and it seems only slightly larger... still just a tad small for my husband. He could live with it, but if we were in the store trying clothes on, he would have opted for one just a little larger. Still thinking about what to do.
But again, the jacket is nice. Just runs very small. |

| Awesome jacket! I bought this for cold weather and rainy days and it completely does its job. i ride to work at 3am in the cold and i was fine. 100% waterproof. fits excellent. i usually wear medium sized jackets but everyone said to order a size up but the large was sold out so i bought XL. I'm glad I did because it fits perfect over a sweatshirt and the arms are the exact length I need. I'll buy another if I ever ruin this one. |

| Jacket fits the way it's suppossed to with good arm movement. Jacket looks great, shoulder armor on the outside gives it an aggressive look. Fast shipping and a great product. |

| Really liked the jacket style, but it was out of stock for 6 months. Proved to be well worth the wait though. My order was delivered in 4 days, half the advertised delivery time, even half way across the U.S.
Size chart was right on the money for me. Large with a bit of room to move and be comfortable. Impressed with the quality of Xelement too. Perfect stitching, seams precisely aligned, and not a loose thread to be found.
High quality service and high quality product. Enough said.... |

| Great Jacket. not 100% windproof, but it is textile. Keeps you dry in light rain. The lining is warm enough for temps in the 40's without any additional insulation.
I was involved in an accident and was dragged for a few yards under the front end of a jaguar. This jacket (a) protected my upper body from the initial fall, and (b) it had only minor scrapes and came out fully intact after taking quite the beating. It's a played a big part in me walking away with only some bruises and scrapes! Thanks to Leatherup and Xelement for selling quality products like this! |

| Really glad I read the reviews, went with the one size larger than I normally wear and the jacket fits perfectly. This is a great jacket and will definately order for leatherup again. |
