Excellent riding jacket
I ordered a 3XL as the 2XL I had received a couple weeks ago was a little snug in the forearms (but good everywhere else.(I'm not a big guy and an XL would probably be fine but I don't like the sleeves being too snug.)Anyways the 3XL arrived during lunch so I washed my hands, cut open the box and gave the jacket an admiring glance.And despite the 38 (Celsius - 100 F) temperature I tried the jacket on.It instantly became my favourite riding jacket. The arms are a big bigger and the jacket is a bit looser which will be fine if I'm wearing more than just a t-shirt underneath it.Just realized that each of the "hidden" gun pockets actually has 2 "stretchy" loops inside - one to hold your pistol and one to hold a spare magazine.Button and zipper front closure. Snap cuffs with zippered "expansion" for thick wrists or handcuffs.Has the standard "pocket" in the upper-back (inside) where the optional "Spine Pad" can be inserted ($22 on Amazon) as well as the "tie down loop" to attach the back of the jacket to your pants (useful when riding around cold places like your ex-wife's yard).As the jacket is a little big for me (everywhere except the arms) I have to give the "armoured pads" a bit of a jiggle to get them where they should be. No big deal.Tried out one of the elbow pads on my wooden work bench. Quickly realized my elbow would break long before the bench would but the pad kept me from hurting myself.My only suggestion would be to have a "hand pocket" on each side. You know, a pocket to warm your hands in or keep spare parts, extra shotgun shells, snot-rags and court summons in.I normally wear a heavy leather "biker" jacket (with all the pockets and zippers) and it is heavy.This jacket is a little lighter but not much so I only gave it 3 stars in the "Lightweight" category.I wasn't expecting it to very light anyways.This is hilarious. I bought 2 of these and had them shipped to Thailand no problem at all.But when I look at the "back armor pad" - it says none available - until I change my mailing address to a US based address.What's even more hilarious you say ? The item description says "Made in Pakistan" but the jackets were shipped from Chicago - with a CHINESE courier company !But the look, feel and quality are all top-notch and if for some weird reason I ever need to order another jacket I wouldn't hesitate to order another one of these.In the photo I tried to show the inner (right) pocket that can be used for a phone/headphones/powerbank/whatever.You can see the snap/zipper closure on the wrist and you might be able to make out the stretchy loops from one of the "gun pockets".Which are frikken huge ! You could stick a Mac 10 in each side !Oh right - almost forgot about my now cold lunch. Oh well, that's what microwaves are made for !

Really good quality but runs small
So full disclosure, I haven't worn this on my bike yet but I'm really excited to. It just came today and I've been checking it out. I frickin love this thing. Make sure you check the size chart and maybe consider sizing up. I have a 50 inch chest with a muscular build and the 3X is a tad snug. I was actually a little concerned about that because it's a little shorter than I had hoped but that actually ends up being ok because there's a belt loop tether like a hockey jersey to keep it from coming up. The armpit gussets are awesome. I guarantee this will breathe incredibly well. It seems like it is incredibly well made. Ultimately I am going to exchange this for a larger size. Mostly so that my pistols don't print when I wear this. This is going to probably end up my usual to to when I ride.

Good but not great & Sizing is way OFF!
I take an XL Tall in normal US sizing, brought the 2XL so it would fit over a sweatshirt if needed.Yeah, forget that! It fits over a T-shirt and that's it - very tight sizing!I actually measured it, as I figured they had sent the wrong size. There is no size indication in the actual jacket, only a carboard label pinned to sleeve. It barely meets their listed sizes for 2XL - and I mean barely!The sleeves are a good length - nice and long for when arms are extended on the bike but body itself is short in comparison. It seems pretty thick, good heavy duty zip and studs, body armor is nice and so probably won't need layers under it. Overall, it appears well made and the price is reasonable.But do go up at least one size if not two or you'll be disappointed!

Looks like a shirt. Protects like a jacket.
This is a heavyweight shirt, almost like denim. Has arm pit and cuff zippers to allow air flow on warmer rides. Elbow and should pads fit a little too loose to probably be effective. You can add a back pad. Seems like it will be durable to abrasion in case of a slow speed slide. Mesh lining has pockets so there is plenty of storage. This is a great jacket for a cool day or evening. Too heavy for summer. But that’s not a bad thing.

Really like it, but wish it came in Tall.
Only just got it, so can't attest to its durability. I will say that it seems very well made, with solid stitching and quality material. It was also heavier than I expected, but I'm not disappointment in that at all. It fits great through the shoulders (where I usually have a problem) even with the shoulder pads in, the arm length was good, as was the fit around the chest and stomach. My only complaint was the length. I have a longer torso, so while not short on me, it comes just to an acceptable length. Thought about returning it and getting the size up, but often that only increased the space around the chest/stomach and not the length. They really need to come out with Tall sizes, would be willing to pay extra for that.Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase, and hope to get years of use out of the jacket.

Nice
This is the 2nd of this jacket , love the black one now the gray . Very good quality jacket with the gun pockets on both side . It has two chest pockets but no other pockets on the outside . ( needs side pockets )

Very Nice!
Its really nicely armored and heavy duty with liner. Actually closer to a jacket than a shirt, but not as cumbersome as a riding jacket. The pockets are well thought out and work great for full size concealed carry. 2xxl fit me perfect over inner shirt and I'm 6' 220lbs

Comfortable and stylish
This is my go to jacket for riding if it's above 60. I'm sure it would do well below 60 but I prefer my leather.

Great shirt, runs a little larger than normal
Definitely American sizing. I’m a 107cm chest so I ordered the Large size. It’s great, but it will be a winter shirt with a very bulky hoodie underneath, it runs very large.I ordered the Medium and it turned out to be a perfect fit. The medium on me is great over the top of a light sweater or just a tshirt.I ordered John Doe Large size, level 2 back armour. It measures 18cm x 42cm and fits the shirt pocket perfectly.

Good price, looks to be good quality. arrived fast
Nice heavy shirt was surprised, sleaves are a bit long but will be ok, like the shoulder design easy movement, I like the shirt over all lots of nice features.

Perfect
I'm 5'9" tall, 170lbs, I ordered a M and it fits me just big enough to allow me to wear a hoodie on underneath for those brisk morning rides. Fits great Lots of inside pockets, elastic bands, even a belt catch at the back. The zippers feel nice, and the quality is really up there. It's heavy, sturdy, and feels very strong. I'm a big fan of this. It looks rough-casual, and not typical biker-crazy, which is why I ordered it in the first place.

Quite big even in small
I am 1m75 (5.8") - 65kg (143lbs) and this shirt is super big for me. The elbow arrive almost at my wrist.In itself the shirt is ok, just be aware that they size super large.
