Motorcycle Protective Jacket Full Body Armor Protection Dirt Bike Gear ATV Protective Safety Gear Riding Racing Armor Motocross Protector Jacket Men Women For Off-Road Motorbike Cycling Skiing Skating

I like this jacket a lot. Mostly because of how breathable it is, since I ride in 110+ weather at times. The mesh is great and lightweight, while the armor feels durable and protective enough for how much this thing costs, which is about nothing. Like others said, don't expect this to protect you on a track day, but for a casual ride or extra layer of protection, it's great for the price.

I love this vest. It is priced right and very well made for what it is. After scraping a bunch of skin off on my elbow 2 weeks ago, sliding down the pavement (luckily at < 10 mph), I decided it *is* worth wearing this! :) I feel much better cruising on my board at 25mph now than I did before. Road rash sucks. Wear a good helmet, leather gloves, and this vest and you'll be much much better off!It is very light weight.It breathes. I rode it for 15 minutes the other day in 103 deg F weather, and it was ok. It was certainly hotter than a plain T-shirt, but probably not any hotter than a thin long-sleeved shirt. For the extra protection though, it's worth it. It is also extremely lightweight.My only complaint is that I'd like a thin carrying bag (you know, like those cheapo disposable backpack type drawstring pouches) to come with it, to protect it when dragging it around San Francisco since I use it there to commute to and from places, but sometimes need to just carry my gear when not riding. Otherwise, it's super easy to scuff it up or accidentally put tiny tears in it when a part of it accidentally gets wedged against the rough road or against the grip tape on top of your skateboard, under your backpack.TO SELLER: Please add a thin drawstring carrying backpack for it. Thanks!SIZE NOTES:Note: I'm 5' 9", 155 lb, athletic build, and Medium fits perfectly! I think large would for sure be too big.- For Summer, I wear this over a short-sleeved shirt.- For Fall, it adds a tiny bit of warmth by itself, but I can wear it over a long-sleeved shirt easily too.- For late Fall, I can wear the vest over my T-shirt, and a light jacket *over the vest*.- For Winter, I can wear a heavy coat *over the vest*.BACKPACK:It wears very well with a backpack too! I regularly wear a 15~25lb backpack (sometimes with 2 large laptops, so pretty heavy) over the vest, and it wears very comfortably, so no issues there.EASE OF USE:- very fast to put on or take off- It is harder to put on than a sweatshirt or jacket, but not by a lot (takes maybe 2x as long). I can put it on or take it off in just a few seconds--probably 10 or 20 seconds.I'll see if I can post pictures of me and my board with this vest sometime. Photos are always nice to see.

I bought a small even though I typically wear medium since it is a men's, there was still a lot of extra material. It looks pretty sick tho.

1. I am a female 5'9, 200lbs, 39" waist, and size D chest. I purchased an XL which is the size I wear in my regular shirts.When I first put on the jacket it appeared to be much too big for me but after adjusting all of the straps it was a perfect fit. I adjusted the straps and wore the jacket around the house for a while to make sure it was comfortable. After making a couple of adjustments I was ready to hit the road.This upper body armor has an elastic kidney belt with velcro closure installed, and the front zip up with no issues (be careful not to snag the mesh fabric). There are also two adjustable elastic criss-cross straps on each arm, and two adjustable straps on each shoulder. There are elastic velcro straps under the arms, midway the chest area that will tighten the front plate to the back plate. The back plate is removable though I would never ride without it. The mesh material keeps you cool during hot weather or you can wear it in cooler weather under a jacket. At the end of each sleeve, there is a hole for your thumb to help keep the sleeves in place.I chose to buy this armored mesh jacket from GOHINSTAR because of all the positive reviews and there were very few negative ones. I am very glad I did because I was having issues with the back plate being too long. I emailed customer service, and they responded the very next day. They immediately resolved my issue without requiring me to provide proof with photos.Would be happy to do business with this seller againIt came very securely packaged in a long box, with no assembly required except possibly removing and repositioning the back plate.
