I bought this color for a friend and the grey version for my father-in-law (89 yr. old Harley rider). We're in Orange County CA, where the beach the snowy mountains and the arid desert are all about and hour from each other.
They love the jackets! Nice to have air flow and protection. Waist, wrist and sleeve adjustments for a smoother ride.
They are sized smaller like other Xelement Jackets. Had to go up a size for these two. The waist measurement is almost more important than the chest measurement.
They are well worth the money. I would buy these again.
