Adult Motorcycle Protective Jacket

Pretty decent little piece of gear for the price. I bought this specifically for the arm, shoulder, and light back protection. It’s super convenient that it’s all tied together in a jacket style setup. It makes it really easy to put on and take off when you need to. Each piece of armor has straps that allow you to adjust it to your body. That being said, I got this specifically for low speed work on streets. This would not hold up for higher speeds considering the armor is just plastic. I don’t know how this would hold up for motocross since that’s not my forte.

This thing rocks! I haven't read the reviews, but anyone dissing on this bad boy is most likely cheap and bitter and has probably had way too easy a life for themselves. We're lucky to to live in an age and society where cool and useful things like this are so easily accessible. This armor is amazing! If you choose the size correctly, it is impossible not to love the way you look in it. You look like a total badass! If you have somebody that likes you, I bet they go crazy about the way you look in this. A word of warning, really treat it with love. You will. It's made of mesh, so wear it and store it with care. Once it's on, you're good to go and you will ride with confidence knowing that you're well protected because you'll FEEL well protected. I'm 6'0", 185 lbs. The XXL fits me like a dream. I run uphill on mountain trails pushing my bike and I feel light and flexible as the wind in this armor. If you're on the fence at all, don't mess around. Get it!

First, as far as the sizing, I order an XL according the "sizing chart" and the it is a perfect fit. It is a very nice protector jacket; however, the plastic plates should be made of a harder material; this is the only reason I am giving it a 4 stars and not 5. After I received it and tried on and it was fitting perfect, I was a little concern about a $50 jacket protecting my body and both my wife and I decided to continue shopping for a stronger protection at a low price, because I can not afford too expensive. So, I went online shopping. Everything I found was more expensive that I could afford, my budget was $100. I finally found at cyclegear.com, a Bilt Charger Jacket which is on sale at $79.99. I found the local store and went to buy it. An employee of Cycle Gear help me with the sizing and advice me to get a size Large. I tried on and I did not like how it fitted. The elbow plastic padding was not aligned with my elbow and it was a bit thight on my chest. Also, the shoulder pads were not aligning. I asked the employee for an XLarge, and he replied: "I am not going to sell you an XLarge, that would be huge on you." He asked what size shirt I wear and I said Medium, he said, "Then you should get Medium/Large" Instead of getting offended at the fact he said he wouldn't sell it to me, I figure he was concerned with my safety. I told him I would trust him because I am a new rider and I don't know anything about motorcycles or protection gear. So, I purchase it. Later at home I tried on again, my wife helped with adjusting all the straps, and it just did not feel right; it was too thight and the plastic at elbow and shoulder did not align well. I should had read the reviews on that "Bilt Charger Jacket" which a lot of them stated they run very small, up to 2 sizes small. Even though the Plastic on the "Bilt Charger Jacket" were harder than this one I am reviewing, I decided that this was a better fit, everything aligns perfect! I am even able to put a leather jacket on top; it not too bulky. I returned to the store, Cycle Gear and the same employee that said he would sell me an XLarge was there at the register and I told him I was returning the jacket because it was too small; believe it or note, HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO EXCHANGE FOR A BIGGER SIZE!!! I told, NO, are you kidding me, you told you wouldn't sell me an XLarge when you, as an employee should know this run small. So, I just got a refund. I am happy I decided to keep this Protector Jacket and I pray I won't be disappointed if I have a fall or accident; only time will tell for sure. I hope this helps!

This thing has totally protected me going down off road on two separate occasions. The hard shells in the elbow, fore arm and shoulders are so necessary. Once you get the fitment right and you are out riding, you won’t feel restricted in the ways you need to move on the bike. Tightening straps and thumb holes are really worth it. My Buddy went down with his high tech soft $300 leatt jersey and it was useless. The moment he hit the ground the sleeves went up his arm and he completely jacked his elbow up. I’ve been down fairly hard twice and just brushed the dirt off, caught my breath and got back on the bike. My only complaint is that I’ma bigger guy and the Velcro on the large waist belt doesn’t stay connected always, especially when I’m riding hard. But under my jersey it didn’t bug me much.

I ordered the XXXL since I am 250lbs and nearly 6' tall. It fits perfect! It's actually pretty nice especially for the price. I can't compare it to a higher end brand, but this is perfect for my first chest armor for down hilling. Before putting it on, make sure all straps are secured. There were two on each shoulder area that were not strapped. The spine is velcro'd, but it also has side zippers near the shoulder area. Have someone near you to help put it on the first time, to make sure you have everything zipped up and strapped. Also, test fit a jersey or shirt to make sure everything fits properly. My hoodie fit right over no problem. UPDATE: I used the armor today, not by choice, and it held up fine. I took a violent crash and the trails were frozen solid. I landed directly on my left shoulder and forearm while downhilling. I’m am hurting big time, but I would imagine I would have received more damage if I didn’t have it. The crash shredded my hoodie, but better than my arm.

It stretches some and you can adjust the straps so the armor is in the proper places, but I’m not real certain how much the armor would really protect. It might be better than nothing, it might not be. I would say don’t have false security while wearing it. Ride safely regardless and watch for problems always. It is a lot cooler and more freeing than a bulky jacket. It’s made ok but not sure how long it will hold up. The mesh seems easy to rip though I have not yet. One of those things that are ok, great for some situations, but if you are looking for 100% safety, I would look at armor rating and get better armor.

I have not crashed in this *knock on wood* but this armor is fantastic!! The plastic feels very durable (I can't bend it at all). The mesh allows air flow, which is a heavenly feature for living in Florida. I bought the 3XL as a 5'11 220lb woman with broad shoulders and it fits beautifully. I was worried because I read some of the reviews but this fits very snug. You can tighten down the armor wherever and however you need to and the back is in fact detachable. It is wonderfully made and the mesh feels durable to withstand a long use (not including crashes, of course). Not only do I look cool, I feel cool and I'm very protected.

I'm a 5'7" Man, I weigh 130lbs. (1.7m, 60kg) The XL size fits me really nicely, since they have all these individual straps you can use to tighten down each pad. I feel a lot safer with this on while riding my electric unicycle. The only thing that doesn't fit is the belly strap, it's a little too loose for my weight. However because the arms and chest can be sinched down so tight, it doesn't really matter. It's quick to put on too. The only real downside is that it can be uncomfortable to do other daily tasks in it, and I get hot in it easily when I'm not actively riding. All things considered tho is great armor for the price. I recommend it.

I had a similar one for montain bike kit that was too small, zipper was jammed up and it lasted 2 year and couple fall in the forest. This one a bit more expensive, and the size is spot on im 215 pound 5' 10" the XXL is perfect. The back protector is a most i falled one time the back against a tree a felt nothing. Love that armor. NOT for motorcycle tho asphalt would rip appart that thing in no time.

Great product eventhough just a lil overpriced

Not bad for the price and some protection is better than none, there are some out there with stronger pads but you will pay for the difference for sure. The only issue with this jacket is as a girl you get really weird looks until you pop your helmet off LOL I found it to be warm, too warm during the summer but the liner zips out so that does help. It might be over kill for zipping around on my Apollo Scooter but if I face plant and skid I would rather be wearing this than nothing at all!

Super comfortable, just wear a t-shirt or not Super adjustable and lots of protection Strongly suggest you getting one The size are in Chinese so buy a XXL
