Xelement XS8162 Men's 'Venture' All Season Black with Grey Tri-Tex and Mesh Motorcycle Jacket with X-Armor

Perfect

Great jacket, air flows as should, got caught in a storm, got soaked, next exit put in the rain liner and insulated liner, was warm and dry from the rain on the rest of the ride, excellent product, great price. I've had others , twice the price , no difference I could tell.

It's warming up here and the inner liner was easily removed. Though very protective in all the right areas, it breaths through the fabric all over. Other coats that offer the protection and are waterproof are 4x as expensive. This is not waterproof but I'm not riding in the rain. With the liner, it would be perfect for fall rides. I recommend if you want a comfortable, affordable option. My size fit perfect. Didn't have to add or take away a size to get it right.

First jacket that is comfortable right out of the box! Very pleased!!!

Definitely well worth the price you pay for this jacket. When the jacket arrived I immediately put it on with both liners still in the jacket and I instantly started to sweat. That being said it should be plenty warm for those cooler riding days. As the other reviews stated, the waterproof liner does have a conglomerate of button/loops to find to get it removed but they do keep the liner in place so it doesn't bunch up when you put the jacket on. A simple remove, install, learn, repeat scenario. I also did find the main zipper (which is plastic and not heavy duty brass) for the jacket to be a little difficult to get lined up in order to start the zipper. Again, try, practice, learn, repeat. Once the zipper gets going it is smooth and doesn't catch any other fabric. The jacket comes with armor sewn into the heavy duty mesh shell as well as removable inner liner armor. The inner armor feels a little bulky when installed but definitely wearable. The air vents on the front don't actually open wide as the zippers for the vents have a Velcro flap over them. Still provide ample air flow. One nice touch is the inner conceal carry pockets have thick elastic loops to hold your piece and an extra magazine in place so there not just rattling around in the pocket. Size: I am 6'1', 260lb. I ordered the 3XL, one size up from the sizing chart suggestion because I'm not a fan of tight fitting clothes, and it fits me perfectly with and without liners installed. The lengths of arms and torso are good for me (no back ride up or sleeve slide up). The sizing chart seems to be fairly accurate but I do suggest test fitting a multi layer Harley jacket (i.e. the Killian) because the sizes run very much the same. That's how I knew to start with a 3XL.First cool weather ride was on a 36 degree morning and the jacket itself without liners was plenty warm. The warmest temp I rode in was about 65 and the jacket by itself without liners we plenty cooling. That being said and just like my old leather jacket, the liners will probably stay bundled up in one of my sale bags with my rain suit. I've only got about three rides with this jacket cause the weather has been nice enough to not warrant wearing a jacket but definitely would be comfortable in any weather if you prefer always riding with a jacket for safety. All in all, definitely seems to be well worth in terms of price and quality of the jacket as compared to the dealership quality/pricing.

Buyer beware this jacket is heavy, but I love it.For the price it's well made and even has built-in gun holster pockets. People say the zipper broke or is cheap, not sure it has gotten misaligned on me since it's a double top bottom zipper. Max riding temp has been 91 degrees F air flow through mesh keeps me cool. Liner snaps in and quality materials for the price.

I needed a summer jacket, like the looks of this one. The double zipper in front messed up first time I put it on, fixable but a PITA. The two liners have an incomprehensible jumble of loops and snaps to hold them in place, will probably never use them since I have a real rain jacket and winter jackets. Other than that I like it, cooler than leather in hot weather and good protection.

They jacket is heavy seems like quality. You can get quality for that kinda of price. The waterproof lining in too small and sewing the loops to hold the sleeves in today the mesh lining is silly. Have pulled both sleeves out and had to try to fix them. Like I said it's a good idea just wish the water proof lining wasn't so small. I like the way the rest of the jacket fits. For the price it I suppose is a good deal. I don't want to return the jacket just because of the waterproof lining. If I could get a large lining and better sleeve lining connections it would be a 5 star jacket.

Good fit. Overall a very nice jacket for the price. It looked thinner in photo but it is actually bulky with the armor inserts and of good quality. You can still adjust with straps to loosen or tighten waist and wrist.

Fit perfect. Amazing jacket. Was much more than I expected!! Thanks
