Great Product for the Price - Would Recommend!
FITTING: Pay attention to the size chart, a UK L means an XL for this jacket. I took there recommendation, as i always go for L I chose XL and the fit was spot on (with just enough room for a jumper, which is perfect).On to the jacket:The Look: I have received many compliments wearing this jacket around uni (as i have been trying to wear it in) and i have been told it looks good on the bike.Leather: Thick enough for a motorcycle jacket, a little stiff (as expected from new) but overall i am very pleased. I unfortunately got caught in a 15 minute downpour the other day and the leather seems unharmed (untreated at this point) and my upper body remained bone dry which i was impressed with. A week later and the leather still looked good. I have since used Wheelers Leather Balm to protect, replace oils and add waterproofness to the leather. Also i was impressed how warm this jacket keeps me with just a thin jumper underneath, it really keeps the wind off of my body.Pockets: Inside left, big enough for phone and wallet and has a zipper. Outside top right (between chest and shoulder), seems a good size but awkward for me to get to when jacket is on so i have not used (could be a good place to store a multitool however) and may become more accessible when jacket has worn in a bit. Outside bottom left and right, not the largest but big enough for a set of keys. Honestly the pockets feel a little flimsy (yet they have not broke) and storing things in there ruins the overall look of the jacket.Padding:Overall shoulder and elbow padding seems good and strong, back pad lacks a bit. On a note it does have a half zip on the bottom of the back to allow attachment to trousers i assume?Why only 4 stars?: No ventilation which is a shame but the lining is not too thick and leather is supposed to breath, we will see how it fends in summer. Zips are cheap and plastic, the paint started to come off on first use and i had to lubricate the zippers with pencil graphite as they where initially very stiff. Not broken but will be interesting to see how they last. Elbow velcro can be a little uncomfortable if not located right, a long sleeve top could solve this and i'm just being picky maybe, but for long rides just be aware.OVERALL:Really impressed with this jacket for the price.I would recommend it and if i where to have an accident 'touch wood i don't' I am pretty sure i would replace this product as long as it kept me protected (which i am confident it would).UPDATE: I have now owned the jacket for over 6 months with daily use now in both rain and shine on short and longer journeys. Leather is soft and comfortable and kept its shape and is in good form (I do use cleaner balm once every 1-2 months). Zips and pockets are still in tact and work fine. Honestly for the price this jacket is great. Very pleased.

Still the best jacket for the price
bought this jacket in a small 2 years ago and got a little too wide recently so figured i would get the same but site up. I probably should have gone for a large but still a really nice-looking jacket. The only issues are the changes made. From snap buttons to velcro cuffs, a less plush interior material, much thinner back protection and less armour in the shoulders. Im not sure this these are higher quality improvements or to save costs, but I felt like the jacket was perfect 2 years ago, and still amazing now, only slightly less so.

Size up
Good jacket, but definitely buy bigger than usual I brought 3xl when usually xl or 2xl (44 inch chest or 18 on womans) and it fits well. Look nice and is waterproof shower wise, the armour feels thin but can use other armour and probably will once lose some weight. Recommend but definitely size up. Think as a female still can pass as unisex.

Brilliant quality at affordable price
Really like this jacket and would highly recommend. It fits really well just like a 'normal' jacket and doesn't make me look bulky. Really comfortable and warm too with good protection. I've been riding in the frozen North East of England and it keeps me warm.

Small fitting but great value.
Jacket made from decent leather, thermal lining a waste of time so just took it out. A sweatshirt is well warmer.I'm a Large in most tops so ordered a XL, couldn't get my arms in so exchanged for XXL which is fine. Definitely order a bigger size!For the price its a bargain.
