New Mexico | I received this jacket last August, but wanted to wait until cold weather before I gave it a 'thumbs up'. Well, was 32 on the way to work this morning, so has passed all my tests.
Is a very comfortable, versatile jacket. Has removable armor and cold weather liner. With zippered side and back vents it was comfortable in the summer as long as the temp didn't go much above 90. With the liner it is doing great at 32, and I expect it will be fine for any temp we will see here (maybe dip to single digits). Has plenty of reflective material for night driving. Zipper & velcro front closure keeps the wind and rain out.
A few things that would have been nice - Built in hood and top breast pocket. Maybe slightly larger zipper pulls for use with winter gloves. And there are odd snaps on arms that I'm sure serve some purpose, but not that I have found.
Overall it is a well made product that is extremely comfortable when in the riding position. 4 out of 5 stars.

Central Illinois | Check it out but I have seen snaps on sleeves that were intended to let you adjust the sleeves to give you a tight fit on your arms. That way the sleeves would not be flapping in the breeze while you are riding. |

...and even more importantly, to keep the elbow pads tight to your elbow so they're in the correct position if you go down.
