Daniel Smart Men's Motorcycle Shirt Plaid Biker Flannel Jacket Removable Sporty Armored, Zipper Closure & Water Resistant

Right out of the shipping bag, 1)saw that it came VERY professionally folded in a zipper bag of it's own; 2) saw ALL the snaps had a protective little sticker cover on them, even the inside snaps; 3) checked out all the snaps, seem very high quality; 4) tested all the zippers: said to be AND look to be waterproof & high quality; 5) on trying it on, glad I read the reviews that said go Up One, otherwise I would have gotten a medium, based on experience w similar Milwaukee Leather flannel - I normally wear a Men's Large shirt, and this large is JUST loose enough to fit nicely, not too tight OR baggy, and should allow for either a long sleeve shirt or a thin hoodie (not a fan of hoodies when riding); 6) lastly, comes with ALL the armor including the spine pad - which I am not accustomed to, so I find it more comfortable with that being removed. Nice to not have to buy that separately tho! Also, the side hand pockets are to me a major selling point. The wife likes to lean on me & put her hands in the pockets if it's a little chilly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I bought this for my husband. He rides his motorcycle in Southern California. He says overall he likes the jacket, it keeps him fairly warm on the cooler days when it’s in the 50s and doesn’t get him too hot when the weather gets into the mid to lower 70s. He feels protected, the built in armor feels like it would do its job. Good amount of pockets for storage. It’s comfortable, with room to move around but he did have to size up. He’s 5’10”, 250 pounds and ordered XXL when he usually orders XL. We got it on sale under $100 and was a good value for that cost.

Great jacket/shirt. I believe they run small. The size chart is nowhere near accurate. I'm normally a 38 chest size and the Medium fits just right. It was a "Try before you buy" deal but oddly, only for the Medium size. Took a chance and scored. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.Wore it on my ride last evening. Worked great. Cut the wind quite nicely.

The small fits chest size 38-40, not the 44 in the item description. The torso cut is more straight than the Milwaukee Leather flannrl shirt so it fits bettet around the waist for riders with a slim or athletic build. In comparison, the ML one is flared at the bottom for guys with a thicker torso.The pads feel super cheap and flimsy, do not recommend it. The construction of the shirt also feels very coarse and doesnt drape well, imagine a shirt made out of printer paper. The sleeves also run really short and in a cruiser riding position, a few inches of your wrist/forearm will be exposed.In comparison, the Shima Renegade has a much more premium feel and has good armkr.

Very small LargeI’m 6’0” 180. L is short sleeves and tight

My husband is just a BIG DUDE. He's just under 6', but has got MASSIVE arms & chest. He's got a bit of a belly on him, but nothing out of the ordinary. To put it plainly, he's a big, stocky dude. I knew that reading the size guide would be "a little on the important side!" He normally wears a 2XL in shirts. With these reviews and the size guidelines, I ordered a 5XL and said a prayer while I submitted the order. The 5XL was SPOT ON! I have yet to wash it, so I'm unsure if shrinkage will occur. I will update my post if needed. The quality is great and all of the armor covered what needed to be covered. Also, my husband said it's extremely comfortable, which when wearing these articles of clothing, you tend to sacrifice comfortable for uniqueness. That wasn't necessary in this case. I'd purchase these jackets again!

This item is great. It was a little tight in the arms however I am a little more muscular that most. For reference I am 73in tall and 275lbs. It is a too warm for a hot summer day with humidity. Which is what I originally bought it for however it does work well for a moderate day. 70-80 degrees this jacket would be great. I would not suggest temps over 90.

Very comfortable, nice armor, light weight, but runs small.
