Texpeed Mens Leather Motorcycle Jacket - Touring Motorbike Jacket With Genuine Biker CE Armour (EN 1621-1) Protection Quilted Stitched Design - Distressed Brown - S

I dont know why but, despite buying most things from Amazon, I had previously neglected to look for Motorcycle gear here, always ending up paying over the odds from traditional motorcycle retailers. Well, what a revelation, this jacket is the biz. Soft leather, great fit and look and comfortable, with armour in all the right places and at an amazing price. 100% recommend.

Great jacket. Nice and heavy made from a really nice cow hide. Fits great.

Exceeded expectations, fit well and was superbly made, comfortable and warm, good quality zip

This is actually a review of two Texpeed Leather Jackets.Firstly, I bought another Texpeed jacket (with the "Quilted Diamond Stitched Design" direct) from Bike Wear Direct because it was about £10 cheaper than through Amazon for the same jacket and from the same supplier, just not using Amazon as a middle-man. I'm going to return that jacket as it's poorly designed with the wrist zips on the back of the sleeve, going up to the elbow, which means the elbow protection sits too high up the arm and offers zero elbow protection. The wrist stud buttons are also very fiddly to do up on the tighter setting. I'm just about 6ft and normally a 42" chest. The L size jacket fit a little too snugly and was too short on the arms.So I then bought this jacket in an XL. In some ways, this jacket seems better quality. It's heavier with more leather. The wrist buttons are easy to connect and the zips are on the inside of the arm so the elbow pads sit in the correct place. The arm length is good, although the jacket is a little baggy on me overall, but acceptable for wearing over additional clothes in the winter.However, there are a couple of features on the other jacket I prefer. The cut of the neck on this jacket is a little wider and lower, offering little-to-no protection around the neck, so if I was to wear a shirt underneath I'd expect the collar to pick up a load of spray and dirt in the wet, yet it still manages to feel like its choking me at the front of the neck. The other jacket had a slightly tighter and higher cut to give better protection, and also had neoprene around the neck area for comfort which I would have liked on this jacket, and I didn't feel choked at all.The waist tightener straps and buttons do practically nothing as the positioning of the buttons are in the wrong place, so the sides can't really be tightened. The main front zip, has no waterproof fabric behind it, unlike the first jacket, despite the zips seeming the same, so I expect that means water would likely leak in through the zip in this jacket. The zips on the other jacket also had leather folder over the top of the zip to give better water protection. The inner lining is also extremely thin so I doubt it adds any value.Both jackets seem good value for money, but sadly neither hit the mark for me so I'm going to return both. There's another one with white stripes on the sleeves I might try...

This looks to have been a great choice. I'm 6'0 and 84kg with a 38-40' chest and the Large fits me great with the removable armour in. The arm length is perfect. The colour is great too and it is thick leather. It also can be worn as a normal jacket when you've got the armour out. It does smell very leathery (surprise!) which whilst I personally don't mind it (in fact quite like it), I can see why some commented on it. But aren't they all going to smell?Obviously, I have no idea (yet) if it would prove robust in a slide but it looks like it would perform even though it's only Type B, Level 1-rated. I guess it's pitched at the casual and fashionable user, where safety is considered but form rates higher than function.I'm very happy and would buy again.

Well I read some of the reviews all seem good so I used the size chart and took advice of supplier and order the next size up came next day opened package and wow to my surprise it fitted looks great on and good deep pockets and quality thanks

Very comfy, I'm XL and bought XL, snug fit, great quality and nice armour.

I wanted a summer / good looking fashion riding jacket. This covers those bases at a great price. The quality is very good, a bit too good as it is a bit heavy for a fashion item. However you can remove the armour quickly so it's not to bad. Overall a great product, good looking, good value on the price point. All zips etc are of good heavy duty quality. What's not to like?
