| Robert N. from Hop Bottom, PA |
| Excellent jacket! I went down in the silver color jacket. Very safe to ride in, not only is it warm in the winter... its cool enough in the summer. And it saved my shoulder/arm from a lot of damage! |

| I have waited until I have used the jacket for a while. I drove a 700 trip and have used it for the last month and half around the local area. I will tell you it is worth the money and does a good job. The only thing I would improve would be to tape the edge of the pads so the yellow does not come off on your clothing when you sweat or get wet. |

| I've been riding with this jacket for a while and I really enjoy wearing it. The padding is great and the leather shoulders are a nice touch. Plenty of pockets the zip out liner seals the deal. I would have liked thicker back armor though. I also recommended ordering one size larger. |

| Glen from SANFORD, MI |
| Received jacket on July 3rd and left Michigan for Fort Collins CO on my Honda CX500C on July 7th. The jacket was great and a perfect fit at my normal size. One small exception was some minor chaffing of the right elbow area for the first couple of days then I guess it was broken in and I had no further irritation. I have to say it probably wasn't designed for the 100 degree temperature I experienced for a few hours on the way through South Dakota but I kept it on and kept movin' down the road to cooler weather.
I'm very safety conscious and really appreciated the way the reflector stripes stood out in night-time headlights.
Overall the round-trip was just over 3400 miles (including side trips) so this jacket got a good workout. I haven't ridden without it since I got it and that includes the whole trip I highly recommend it. |

| Great jacket with a lot of comfort. Appreciate the inside pockets and also the back vent. Not too heavy with the removable liner in. Great looking with the black leather on the shoulders. |

| I bought my boyfriend this jacket and he absolutely loves it. I bought a 2x and had to return it for a 3x, so the size may run just a little small, but other than that he loves it. I do plan on buying others items as well. |

| I received my Cordura jacket earlier than expected. The quality of the gear is first rate. I have bought products from this company in the past and will continue doing so. LeatherUp's customer service is outstanding.

| Dean from Keremeos, BC |
| Great value. I'm happy I ordered actual size instead of one size up. It's only a bit on the small size, not a whole size. It's not overly warm in hot weather. I'm very satisfied. |

| James from BLOOMINGTON, IN |
| Did not order one size up thankfully and fit is good. Zipped out liner and opened vents. Torso gets air but arms are sticky hot even with wrists open as much as possible. Overall jacket is fine but arms get no ventilation. I am looking forward to cool fall weather and a chance to use the liner. |

| Fits well - definitely runs small. I typically have XL jackets, but needed a 2XL. Comfortable -- also has removable liner for the warmer days. Flexible enough to be comfortable, yet has armor. For the price, great jacket! |

| Josh L. from Oklahoma City, OK |
| Its a good jacket on a budget. I definately feel safer wearing this as opposed to having no protection. It has forearm/elbow protectors (plastic inserts), a spine protector, and leather shoulder/upper arm protection. Its an extremely comfortable jacket to wear, and is very warm (when you use the liner). I like to wear it even when i'm not riding because it is so comfortable.
Its not full leather, and the fabric doesn't feel like it would hold up if I went down at 40+ speeds. The sizes can also be deceptive as well. You want to order at least one size up from what you normally wear. I ordered an XL size, and i usually wear large sized jackets. I'm 6'2" 200lbs. The jacket sleeves come down to about mid-palm, which is ideal.
The jacket also has a vent in the back, straps to tighten the jacket around your arms, and other features as well. Too many to list in a review.
I wonder if it would've been a better investment to get a full leather jacket. The next jacket I get will probably be full leather, especially if I get a faster bike 650cc+ |

| Great jacket! Sizing runs a little small, I suggest ordering 1 size larger than usual. The only thing I would change is adding a zipper pull on the main zipper. Shipping was fast too. |

| I find that this Jacket is a wonderful choice for its price. The delivery took only a few days and I was able to track the package through Fedex. I am totally satisfied with my purchase. Most Jackets would sale close to $200.00 of this calibur. Remember to order one size larger than what you normally wear. |

| My boyfriend absolutely loved the jacket. We set a spending limit on our Christmas gifts to each other and when he saw the jacket he thought for sure I went over our limit. He was shocked at what I paid for it and said it was an awesome deal and a quality made jacket. He is now looking for a new helmet and will be making a purchase through Leatherup. He normally wears a size L, and thats what I ordered. It fits him like a glove just as it should. |

| I like it a lot . No complaints anywhere . Except a larger pocket inside would be nice . very warm although I haven't ridden much below 30 in it yet . Def go a size larger especially if you're layering underneath . I'm 6'10'' 170 lb. and very happy with x-large . I do have another warm weather jacket tho too |

| ordered 1 size larger, mainly to compensate for my belly. (5'9" 210, ordered 2XL fits fine. it is is great in spring riding, haven't had much summer yet in NY. i can see it getting hot when sitting in traffic, arm ventilation would be nice. have not used liner yet, would consider putting it back in when temps get in the 50's. overall, great jacket and am currently shopping this site for boots and a jacket for my son. |

| I recently purchased this Jacket. I initially felt kind of limited in movement. I took the 2 shoulder armor pads out and it fit better. I took it with me on a Bike run and put it on when weather got cold and wet. I went down on a turn when I hit oil and the jacket protected me well. I got no raod rash and limited bruising. First time I wore an armored jacket and it performed well |

| Excellent product for the price. The quilted lining provides a lot of warmth; I've been comfortable in 35 degrees (though I ride with a fairing and tall windshield). Without the lining, the jacket has a fair amount of ventilation, but it is not mesh, so you will be warm sitting at stoplights in 80 heat. I ordered according to the sizing chart and found it fit snugly, which is a good thing in a motorcycle jacket (but be aware it will feel tight, especially at first and especially with the liner). Also be aware that most of the pockets are in the lining, though there are two external zip pockets and one internal zip pocket in the jacket itself. No complaints. |

| William V. from Winchester, VA |
| This is an excellent mid-weight jacket for the money! Was hesitant to purchase due to the "powder blue" color and quality. But, the actual blue is much deeper, more of a "sky blue" and I give the jacket a quality rating of 8/10. The armor is ok for the street. I have several other jackets and suits where there is more armor and it is more ruggedized. And, this isn't an Aerostich Roadcrafter quality jacket, but then again, you're not paying $800 plus for it, either. I purchased an XXL (usually where an XL) and the fit is about right - just a little extra room, but comfortable (I'm 5' 10", 205). A great buy and one that will pleasantly surprise you! |

| I have been using this jacket for about a month, every day that it is not experiencing a tornado or hail (I live in OK) and I am very pleased with it. First of all, the quality (ESPECIALLY for the money) is excellent. Real leather shoulders, VERY water repellant (trust me..), zip out cold weather liner, etc.. That is A LOT of jacket for $80! Fits like a glove. Two caviets only; it could use sleeve vents as my arms sweat on warm days even when from zipper vents AND main front zipper (as well as vent on the back) are open. Small thing, I know. Two, the cuffs, when felcro'd snuggly bunch uncomfortably. I leave them just as displayed in the catalog and my glove ride up inside the sleeve rather than outside. So far no annoying air "leaks" even on cold days. Would I recommend this jacket to a friend ?? How about my wife??!! She has the same jacket with the pink accent and likes it just as much as I do mine. You can pay more, but the law of diminishing returns applies. Buy it! RIDE, friend, RIDE! |

| Excellent fit for someone my size. I wear a 15.5, 34/35 fitted style button up dress shirt and the medium fits me great. I'm about 6', 140 with long arms but the sleeves are just the right length. I think it will be very breathable in warm weather as long as you are moving. I do get chilly in it without the liner in if it's below 60, but I do prefer the warmer weather so I'm not sure how it's going to fair in the below 50 range. Should be fine with layers. Looks great and feel very safe. |

| I've had this jacket for about a month now. I haven't had it on in the rain so I can't say about water resistance but other than that I really like the jacket. I bought one size up and it is very slightly too big, but I think the next one down would have been too small. Its very comfortable but I did take out the extra armor in the shoulders. I definitely recommend this jacket. |

| Great jacket, well padded and the liner keeps you warm when you need it to. I bought it a size larger so that I could wear clothing under it and that was a good choice. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars for me personally is because the arms a little too short. Other than that GREAT jacket. |
