New AXE Men's Leather Jacket Motorcycle CE Armor Biker Street Cruiser Safety

WOW!!! You have got to be kidding me!!! I don't think I would have found a better deal anywhere else, but Amazon for this Jacket. I trusted the reviews of many people even down to what they say about sizing and this is a bargain and a half. I can't imagine what an expensive riding jacket would cost, but this has the feel of one right out of the box. Yes, the leather seems a little stiff, but I plan to rub it down with some leather honey and see if that softens it up. As for my size, I am 5'11' and as of today I weight 208 pounds. I have an athletic frame as I am a baseball and hockey player among all of the other sports I've played as well. I have somewhat of a little gut, not going lie. I don't have those rippling abs anymore, but more of a nice comfortable and modest midsection and I bought this in an XL to accommodate for a thicker sweatshirt underneath or fleece later if need be. Everything about this jacket seems really well put together. Maybe the pocket material is a little flimsy at first feel, but ehh do you really need to stuff your pockets while riding? That's what baggers are for if that's your thing. That's a small mod or fix though (pockets) if they rip at your local tailor or if your other half is good with a sewing machine. Reflective material is awesome even under regular lighting indoors. I have wide shoulders and good length arms and this jacket fits like it was tailor made for me. I probably need to drop around a good 10 or 15 pounds just for my personal preference, but even so this jacket has plenty of room for a guy my size. Not snug in the gut at all and doesn't show the gut either. LOL. It makes me look even more buff actually. HAHAHAH. The armor inside feels solid and isn't heavy at all. Liner seems ok and like it will hold some warmth on a cool day. Maybe I will update this later when it gets colder and I can tell you if I froze my NADDZ off or if I was plenty warm etc. I'd say if it were chilly, just put a long sleeved t-shirt on and you should be comfortable. I haven't been riding in this jacket yet, but just putting it on tells me I won't have any issues once it softens up a little and conforms to me. I haven't been out pricing expensive leather riding jackets either and I took a leap of faith with my fellow satisfied Amazonians....and I do have to say this was a dollar or two well spent for sure. I am completely thrilled to sport this on my FURY. I say a good rub down with a leather softener/conditioner and it should be one heck of a coat to ride in. I think most people said exactly how this jacket has performed in their perception and opinions, down to the guys who had crashed while wearing it and I will have to say, I do hope to not have to test it like that first off. 2nd, I think this is really going to give me my money's worth over time and I'll leave it at that. My only complaint was how this was shipped. When I got home the box was open, not half open, but open, and anyone could have yanked this right out of the box. Not sure if that's Amazon's issue or who, but I am going to say its Amazon's issue because the box has their name on it. Thankfully it was not raining tonight or I'd be a little furious that my newly purchased items were sitting in the rain in an open box. Not cool. Aside from that....I am happy and satisfied that this coat looks and feels solid. As for the people who said this should be made in the USA. Well I am all for keeping my fellow Americans working, and I support our country no matter what, but there are bigger issues that allow items like this to "NOT" be made in our country. I have to say, Pakistan made this coat, and well, I've never been to Pakistan nor do I plan to go there, but HEY, thanks for the coat!! LOL. Best wishes to all, safe riding to all, and if you size up to someone like me based on my stats...you will love this coat!! Great BUY!!! PEACE!!

I just received my jacket today. First thing, it was shipped in a very large box big enough to fit the entire jacket without it being folded. In other words it was like taking the jacket off the rack. Very cool indeed. First thing I noticed was that the leather although pretty heavy and thick, was as expected a little stiff. I'm a relatively small guy and I got a medium which actually fit perfectly. The sleeves were a little longer when not on a bike, hanging just over the tops of my hands. But once in a riding position they were at the perfect location on my wrist, allowing for any glove to fit either under (inside ) or over (gauntlet). The color was exactly what I was hoping for and the 2 white reflective strips on the arms and across the back don't look out of place and actually add a bit of a statement to the jacket and I'm sure will do the job during the day and at night. So from a fashion perspective this fits well, looks very cool when wearing , and immediately says "motorcycle rider". Not many pockets if that what you are looking for , but just enough for your phone, riding papers, 2 large inner pockets for whatever, two waist pockets. The 2 zippers across the chest which I initially thought were pockets are actually vents which are meant to work with the two vertical vents on the back of the jacket for warmer days. I also like the 2 wrist cuff zippers and Velcro adjustment strap which can be opened during riding on warmer days for even more ventilation up the arms. The included body body definitely adds some substance and shape to the jacket and can be taken out of you want, although the whole purpose of the jacket is to protect you not only from the elements when riding but also should you go down. So mine are staying in all the time! They do add a little of weight to the jacket but I'd rather be wearing a jacket with a little weight that protect my elbows, shoulders and back if i take a fall and will absorb the full impact on either of those joints. I took a spill some years ago in an off the rack standard leather bomber jacket and received a hairline fracture on my scapular. I am certain had I been wearing some like this with the body armor, the most I would have walked away with is a possibly a bruise. The lining came out easy as pie and I'm sure on colder days will keep me pretty warm and also leaves enough room for me to layer a turtleneck sweater or some other clothing for added warmth. And the length is perfect. I've yet to sit on a bike with , but I have sat in a chair, leaned forward a bit to simulate that and it did ride up over my jeans top so I feel confident there will be no drafts around back. It also has 2 leather straps with snaps to adjust the waist if you need it.So all in all, it's got all the basic features you would be looking for and need on a street or commuter bike, the looks you'd want, and at a price that's not gonna break the bank. I'm interested to see how this holds up under regular use but I expect it should do fine. A little leather conditioner should take the initial stiffness out of it and using it will also help to break it in. This jacket looks so cool, I intend to wear it out even when not riding on cool spring days and night like we're getting now in the NE. Check back with me by the end of the summer after I've ridden my bike long enough to give you a full report on how well it performed under actual riding conditions. But again at this point, from what I can see, I believe it should do the job quite nicely. So if you're looking for a cool looking jacket with the level of protection all around with some good features and you're on a budget, I'd say give this one a shot. At this price you really can't go wrong!

Hopefully this review will help some sizing questions for tall, slim guys like myself. Im 5'11". 37" chest and 32" waist weighing in at 150 lbs soaking wet. I usually wear Large in everything cotton (shirts, sweatshirts). I decided to go with a Medium jacket here based off some reviews on here. I wanted a good fitting, comfortable jacket.Medium was the perfect size. The pictures show the jacket on me with a shirt, sweatshirt underneath with the elbow and back padding in the jacket. It fits great with or without the sweatshirt underneath.As for quality, this is a great value jacket at a cheap price. The leather is thick but comfortable out of the box. Zippers feel great.The padding is okay. I removed the shoulder pads because they wouldnt stay in the right place. The elbow and back pads are comfortable. They are in place in the pictures and you cant really notice them.The stitching is a little weak around the armpit seams. It looks like it would start to loosen up after a season or so of use. For the price thats expected.Went for a 40 minute ride in 40 degree weather. All high speed highway riding. The jacket and a sweashirt underneath kept me plenty warm. It blocked all the wind off of my arms and torso.Would buy again. A great jacket at this price.

Very pleased with this Jacket!

I got the XL I'm 5'8" 205lbs it fits nice I have a short neck and the jacket is really stiff so its a little unconformable but I believe with time it will be really nice, I did rub mine with mink oil and it seems to help, I live in Canada so it can be cold here, I used it at +5c and it was all I needed, it looks durable the leather is thick so it should last,I hope this helps
