Great Product for the Price - Would Recommend!
FITTING: Pay attention to the size chart, a UK L means an XL for this jacket. I took there recommendation, as i always go for L I chose XL and the fit was spot on (with just enough room for a jumper, which is perfect).On to the jacket:The Look: I have received many compliments wearing this jacket around uni (as i have been trying to wear it in) and i have been told it looks good on the bike.Leather: Thick enough for a motorcycle jacket, a little stiff (as expected from new) but overall i am very pleased. I unfortunately got caught in a 15 minute downpour the other day and the leather seems unharmed (untreated at this point) and my upper body remained bone dry which i was impressed with. A week later and the leather still looked good. I have since used Wheelers Leather Balm to protect, replace oils and add waterproofness to the leather. Also i was impressed how warm this jacket keeps me with just a thin jumper underneath, it really keeps the wind off of my body.Pockets: Inside left, big enough for phone and wallet and has a zipper. Outside top right (between chest and shoulder), seems a good size but awkward for me to get to when jacket is on so i have not used (could be a good place to store a multitool however) and may become more accessible when jacket has worn in a bit. Outside bottom left and right, not the largest but big enough for a set of keys. Honestly the pockets feel a little flimsy (yet they have not broke) and storing things in there ruins the overall look of the jacket.Padding:Overall shoulder and elbow padding seems good and strong, back pad lacks a bit. On a note it does have a half zip on the bottom of the back to allow attachment to trousers i assume?Why only 4 stars?: No ventilation which is a shame but the lining is not too thick and leather is supposed to breath, we will see how it fends in summer. Zips are cheap and plastic, the paint started to come off on first use and i had to lubricate the zippers with pencil graphite as they where initially very stiff. Not broken but will be interesting to see how they last. Elbow velcro can be a little uncomfortable if not located right, a long sleeve top could solve this and i'm just being picky maybe, but for long rides just be aware.OVERALL:Really impressed with this jacket for the price.I would recommend it and if i where to have an accident 'touch wood i don't' I am pretty sure i would replace this product as long as it kept me protected (which i am confident it would).UPDATE: I have now owned the jacket for over 6 months with daily use now in both rain and shine on short and longer journeys. Leather is soft and comfortable and kept its shape and is in good form (I do use cleaner balm once every 1-2 months). Zips and pockets are still in tact and work fine. Honestly for the price this jacket is great. Very pleased.

Small fitting but great value.
Jacket made from decent leather, thermal lining a waste of time so just took it out. A sweatshirt is well warmer.I'm a Large in most tops so ordered a XL, couldn't get my arms in so exchanged for XXL which is fine. Definitely order a bigger size!For the price its a bargain.

Size up
Good jacket, but definitely buy bigger than usual I brought 3xl when usually xl or 2xl (44 inch chest or 18 on womans) and it fits well. Look nice and is waterproof shower wise, the armour feels thin but can use other armour and probably will once lose some weight. Recommend but definitely size up. Think as a female still can pass as unisex.

Still the best jacket for the price
bought this jacket in a small 2 years ago and got a little too wide recently so figured i would get the same but site up. I probably should have gone for a large but still a really nice-looking jacket. The only issues are the changes made. From snap buttons to velcro cuffs, a less plush interior material, much thinner back protection and less armour in the shoulders. Im not sure this these are higher quality improvements or to save costs, but I felt like the jacket was perfect 2 years ago, and still amazing now, only slightly less so.

Dad loves it more than >1 year after
Really good, durable jacket - my dad drives his motorbike very often and did find it very useful - it’s hard shell but still comfy when riding from countryside to the city.

For 60 pounds it's a good jacket. Needs leather waxing.
I bought an xxxl size but it was far too small so ordered xxxxxl instead and that fits fine so I'd advise going up a size. Return was easy and free.Now for the jacket. It's sixty pounds and not expensive nor does it look expensive but it's certainly better than a 'fashion' leather and offers reasonable protection. Ie. It offers more protection than my wax jacket. If you could fit this under a wax jacket you'd be better protected and dry but very hot likely uncomfortable. Honestly does feel quite tough but you can see where cost cutting has been done to get this leather under 60 pounds.I've used some beeswax leather treatment which has softened it up quite a bit and will hopefully waterproof it. The beeswax was quickly absorbed by the leather but I expect will make a massive difference to longevity.Mine had an inner thermal liner but this liner does not extend down the arms so was more of a hinderence when putting the jacket on.I probably could of gone another size up but then the body armour wouldn't of lined up correctly. I've had expensive jackets where body armour doesn't line up before (and bike jeans) everyone's body is a different shape. Strangely this jacket has body armour which lines up with my elbows and shoulders so I have to say this is the best fit I've had.Leather isn't very thick but as I said it's much thicker than a fashion leather and I do feel somewhat protected and confident it could survive a low speed spill.Would better suit a teenager on a 125 as a first must have jacket. If you plan on hitting motorway speeds on a bigger bike you would spend a bit more on your gear.I'm an old fart on a 125 and have fallen off plenty of bikes so I guess I know what to expect and what the limitations are.If you are on a budget, get this and try and throw a wax jacket over the top of it perhaps?

Great value for money snug fit
Nice looking jacket.I’m 42” chest and ordered a size 42. It does fit but It is a snug fit with the armour in. So you might want to try a size higher. The jacket is warm and great value for money . Only down side is no air vents.
