WICKED STOCK Motorcycle Jacke - CE Level1 Reflective Summer Biker with Adjustable Cuffs & Waist Belt - Lightweight & Comfortable Mesh with Armor for Men

I had recently purchased and immediately returned the Nomad Ironborn Biker Jacket sold here on Amazon. It was returned because the jacket's baggier cut was not personally appealing and in my opinion falls more in line as a 3 season jacket for those with a "few beers on the weekend" kind of build in the midsection. That jacket is a baggier, larger, warmer jacket overall. I am mid-sixties in age. Stand at 5'9 - 175lbs, slightly broader in the shoulders, with a true 44 inch chest and size 32 waist when wearing my Levis jeans. In my estimation, this jacket would be most appreciated by those that prefer a a less generous cut with the sweet spot size wise being 175 - 185 pound, 44-45 chest, 32-34 waist range, when used as a late Spring/ Summer/ Early Fall, option. Those with a build at the larger size of that range will probably find the jacket to be a true form-fitting jacket. Where a sweatshirt could still fit underneath. But with some tightness across the upper back when riding. Those similar to my build, might find it to be a "very happy with the fit" offering, when wearing only a tee. To a even more perfect "Goldilocks" kind of of a fit when worn with a sweatshirt, or possibly a sweatshirt/ tee combination underneath. Those with a 42 to 43 inch chest, as well as a smaller than 32 inch waist, might in my opinion find the jacket to be just a bit on the larger size. That has them thinking of trying a medium to see if that was preferred. Color wise, what is described by the manufacturer to be a light gray, is in to me personally, best described as a dull, "dirty white" that has a slightly warm -- more sand-- undertone to it. As opposed to an actual gray. At $69 dollars I feel the jacket is a well made, bargained priced option. That along with the build quality and cut, could possibly be considered on par with what one might be willing to pay up to approximately $89 t0 $109 for... But at that higher price, I would feel that the jacket would have to prove itself to be durable over a longer term than the one or two seasons I personally expect from an offering in the cheaper $59 -$69 price range. So if this jacket does give more than a season or two of regular use I would consider it a great value. The jacket is very light weight. With "good enough quality wise" body armor and a very breathable mesh construction both front and rear. I personally do not use back body armor in my summer riding gear, as ventilation is a priority for me and the foam back bad can somewhat defeat that purpose. My concern for having the padding in my jacket is more for protection of the elbows and shoulders.

This jacket fits a riding niche'. I live in a summer HOT state, where you almost have to wear shorts and short sleeves, or just not ride, during the summer months. But I like protection, as I have hit the ground years ago and taken to the ER, so I know the pain. This jacket surprised me, it really does allow a lot of air flow, while still providing some amount of protection. Kevlar nor Leather, it is NOT, but if you were to skid a few feet, it would take some of the road burn before reaching your skin. And it looks a lot like a nice riding jacket. I like the large horizontal reflectors. What I don't like; the back pad was super uncomfortable and made my back sweat (a lot), came right out on the first stop of my first ride with it. Besides, realistically, no real added protection or value in the center of your back. What gets hurt the most in an accident, protruding anatomy, like elbows, knees, shoulders, hands, feet, heads, not the center of your back. Also the wrist cuffs are large, maybe to you can remove the jacket without removing your gloves, IDK, but you have to tighten them with the Velcro, which makes them bunch up and feel rather bulky. NOTE: It does not have a thermal liner, so virtually not warmth as the sun goes down. I do wish it had a lite liner I could keep in the luggage bag. (I have a full dresser) Sizing: I am 6'0", 275lbs. normally wear XXL (more for the gut than the shoulders), I ordered a 4XL after reading other comments, and that fits about right, with just a bit of extra roominess, I didn't want it tight, nor loose. I would order again, in fact, I'm disappointed they don't have a women's jacket like it for my honey.

arrived fast, fits well. it's a great summer jacket, and it actually felt even better after i ran it through a delicate wash cycle. it was when i washed it that i found out that instead of two shoulder pads, i had one shoulder and one knee pad. it's not a huge thing, but it did knock part of a star. the rest of the star is because the overlapping fabric will get caught in the zipper, so i had to trim it (only about half a cm) from the zipper. i mean it's a jacket for a person on a budget, i'm okay with that. the high-viz piping really does pop out, adding to the safety factor. i'm not a big fan of the polyvinyl interior pockets, those are the only spots in the jacket where i will sweat. that being said, they are big enough for my samsung phone and costanza wallet. everywhere else is cool and lovely. i have received compliments on the styling, so that definitely has it going for it.

This jacket has ZERO warming qualities. LOL That's the point of a summer jacket though. Has a sturdy weight, and I thought I was going to sweat immediately putting it on but it's full two layer mesh and air passes right through, even more so when you're moving. It does not flap in the wind, it has enough weight to make me feel secure and comfy. Has two inner pouches with velcro closures and one inner zipper pocket along with two outer zip up pockets of course. The wrist, waist and arm adjustments are great for fine tuning my fit. The fit is almost perfect, I'm a 310 lb guy and ordered a 5XL and it fits great though I would prefer it were a tad lower down my waist but that's a nit pick. The ONLY thing I don't like is my neck is too girthy for the neck velcro to close and it sticks to my helmet straps. This jacket would be PERFECT with a zip out cold weather liner but that would move it to a different price point. Outstanding jacket for the price!

No more steaming hot rides, the coat is designed for maximum airflow and safety and its very comfortable too. It's a well made jacket with plenty of pockets and a decent zipper. It is definitely a hot weather only jacket though as so much air does flow through it. Even walking with it on , you can feel the Ir flowing through. I always ride with protective motorcycle jacket and this one is perfect for those 80F and up days.

Great jacket. No ugly logo. Comfortable and good ventilation. Matches my diavel carbon. BUT I'm 5'11" 225lbs this could be a couple inches longer. It's a little short.
