I truly don't understand where the previous poster said that this isn't worth the money, to me, it appears it is worth the money, the design is very good and it feels quite sturdy unlike other jackets. This makes me feel confident that if I hit the pavement at 60, at least it will protect me. The protection is okay, it's more for city riding rather than track or anything similar. I use it in a 250 Ninja but I wouldn't take it on my 650.
As previously stated, this thing stinks before you even open the box, it smells like butter was brushed all over the jacket. I am sure with time and with air the smell will go away but it doesn't bother me that much.
Also, its made for big guys, this is not something that will fit you if you a slim guy or regular guy who doesn't buff up. I had to get the sleeves tailored because I looked like a moron or a fake terminator with this. Adios $50 on tailoring!
And lasty, this thing is HEAVY, the old woman who tailored it for me could barely carry it around, I think it alone weights at least 7 pounds, and for a few days your back will feel the pain! I think for city riding this thing is slightly way too heavy.
My trust columbia jacket will do for now, and I will use this when heading on long trips.
Design and look 4/5
Quality 4.5/5 some places look like they were rushed
Protection 3/5 ? Wouldn't use it on big bikes.
