Milwaukee Leather MPM1645 Men's Plaid Flannel Biker Shirt with CE Approved Armor - Reinforced w/Aramid Fiber - Large Blue

I love riding with this coat. This is a nice jacket well-made

Gigantic interior pockets are impossible to access with front zipped or snapped up. Access should be from the sides where you could at least use to keep hands warm. I'm 6' and 215lbs. I find the shirt proportions are bizarre, maybe its good for short waist, barrel chested, long armed person. Quality of materials and construction are outstanding. The pads came out easy, I don't need them. Nice cool lining w pit zips, but fairly heavy and somewhat stiff in a good way. However, the kevlar is limited to patches over the elbow and shoulder pad pockets, so no protection front or back.

Very comfortable. Very breathable. Looks great.. Shoulder armor feels bulky, but since I ride with a vest over it...I took the armor out & it feels so much better

Big around chest and waist. Short. Tubby shape. Besides that it seems to be high quality and durable.

I'm 6'1, 260 lbs all belly. i ordered mine in 2XL and i still have a couple inches to breath. it's very comfortable and does not hinder any movement while riding. i gave 4 stars because nothing is perfect. if i had to say anything negative about it, or constructive critism then it would be i wish i could roll the sleeves just a little, maybe 2 rolls vs the single roll it can only do. also maybe go ahead and put the back pad in there already. realistically that pad probable costs 2 bucks to make and is being sold for around 30. come on.

On my second attempt, I ordered a medium hoping it would fit a bit better. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 180 pounds with a relatively slim fit. The medium would be a great fit for someone in the 5 foot 6 inch range, weighing over 200 pounds, and have the arm length of the average 6 foot tall person. Arms were a decent length, but the torso was very wide and too short for me. The jacket was so baggy on me that there is no way it would be protective in an accident as the pads would not stay in place. Overall the quality seemed decent but the fit is way off.

I bought this flannel jacket because my other one doesn’t have any inside pockets (also this one matched my helmet perfectly). DEFINITELY buy a size smaller than you normally wear. Normally I wear a medium, so thats what I ordered first time and I was swimming in it. Even the small is JUST slightly bigger than I’d usually like, otherwise it does fit very comfortable even with it being a little more bulky than I’d hoped. Also note it does have a pouch for the back pad, but doesn’t come with (incase you care about that). The only reason I’m giving 4 stars and not 5, is because of the main reason I bought this flannel jacket, which was the inside “gun” pockets. The one nice thing about them is, the do have elastic to hold your concealed carry and extra mag (on both sides) but….. they have NO support at the bottoms of the pocket, so even with my lighter weight conceal 9mm, it sangs down to an uncomfortable spot on the jacket. I don’t generally carry when I ride, so it’s not really a big problem for me, but if you do, something to consider. Couple stitches on the inside of the pocket might help and am thinking about doing myself because I do know how. The bigger issue for me is, I wish the “gun” pockets were on the OUTSIDE of the zipper so that you wouldn’t have to unzip to get access to. Every jacket I’ve ever owned with a gun pocket is set up that way, so that was what I was expecting. That way when I’m riding with my backpack that has a chest strap, I wouldn't have to unbuckle and then unzip just to get to my wallet, handlebar/helmet lock or any of the other things I’d usually like quicker access too. Otherwise, I like it, especially the vents under the armpits! I’m adding some photos to point out some of the problems I came across with the “gun” pocket that hopefully helps. But honest for the price, a pretty good buy.

This shirt has a good warm quality to it with a nice fit. I am a big guy but found I needed to order one size larger than my typical fit.

This jacket fits perfect to sizing (for me). It even gives a great fit appearance (makes me look slimmer). The pads are nice and light and not too clunky/chunky like my last jacket. The lighter colours are also working out well for this summer's rides (my other breezy jacket is all black).

Great jacket, perfect fit, wish it had outside pockets.
