| I am 5'10" 165 lbs. Medium fits fine. I Bought a Large as well to make side by side comparison.
Tried on Large first and was happy with that UNTIL trying on the Medium. Not a huge size difference but enough of a difference around the zippered cuffs. Large's cuffs were too loose. Those that say wind blows up the sleeves at the cuffs might be wearing a size too big. Sleeve length is plenty long - no problems there.
Elbow armor feels a bit stiff when bending your arm. Not sure if this will eventually soften up, as the armour is already soft. But when ridiing I do not notice this at all. Zippers are fine and work smoothly. Not sure about the functionality of the vest liner. Color is NOT Black. Leather is as described by others, heavy & soft. Pockets are plenty deep enough. Armour resides in a velcro enclosed "pouch". It can sort of shift around a bit sometimes when putting on the jacket. Just have to massage it into it's proper location. I believe that you wiil be pleased with this jacket as long as you get a proper fit. |

| This Jacket is AWESOME, very heavy, soft, just what I was looking for. Im 5'10" 212 lbs. I ordered the XL and it was too tight in the chest area, beer belly area was plenty of room. Now I have the 2XL and can wear a light hoody with it with the liner removed but it fits best with just a T shirt. Great jacket and all my friends want the same one now. You will be very pleased. |

| I was very skeptical about ordering something so personal as a motorcycle jacket from an online source, and the low prices had me even more skeptical about the quality I would receive. Well, I finally decided that I would take a chance thinking; "what the heck," cheap enough to be used as a loaner, or returned as a last resort, because I was sure that a return would be such a hassle.
Well my merchandise arrived a couple of days ago, and the first thing I noticed was the weight of the box. When I opened it I was completely blown away by the jacket. The leather is all first rate and very heavy duty while being as soft and smooth as a baby's @$$. I am amazed that this jacket didn't cost over $400.00. The jacket feels even better than it looks, and it looks awesome. Best jacket I have ever owned and I've been riding motorcycles for 43 years. I can't see myself shopping anywhere else for leathers, and have just put in an order for the matching chaps. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY

| This jacket is awesome!!! I looked at a lot of different ones over a period of about 8 weeks. When this one came available I jumped on it. I know it's more expensive than the others but with all the features and protection it affords it is well worth the price. This is a heavy weight jacket that impresses me every time I pick it up and put it on. Warm when you need it and vented for those hot days when you need to stay cool. You'll always look coot wearing it too. I have a 45 inch chest, 34 inch waist, and 72 inch reach finger tip to tip, and the XL fits perfect! The armor is stiff and I removed it for now. Buy this jacket, you won't be disappointed!!! Clair from Freedom. |

| I have had this jacket for a couple of weeks. I am 5'10", 32-waist, and 175 lbs. The large fits me perfectly. I even have room for a light sweater or sweatshirt.
CONS: The liner is only a vest, I am used to full arms, so I am a little disappointed. The cuffs are a little large and the wind blows up the sleeves a bit. The zippers are nice, but a little stiff. I hope with some wear the zippers will loose up a bit and work smoother.
PROS: The leather is thick and soft. The jacket has kept me warm down to 55 degrees at 80 mph. The armor is thin and light. You can wear the jacket as a normal jacket if you would like, yes it looks that good. Better than the picture. It has a nice tapered fit and the arms are long enouh to sit at the wrist when the arm is bent. The neck warmer, buttons in the jacket when not being used, a nice touch. I look forward to seeing how the air flows thru the jacket when it gets warmer. Next paycheck, I will be buying the matching chaps. The jacket is an excellent value for the price, even for one priced $100 higher. |

| Wow!!! The ultimate motorcycle jacket in every way. Worth every penny and more. The naked leather is so soft and thick it makes all my buddies jackets look like crap...It feels so comfortable on, makes you want to ride all day. Hot weather open the vents, cold weather is like nothing because the leather is so thick. The HPRG armor is fantastic. I smashed my elbow in a concrete wall to see what would happen and I did not feel a thing. |
