BORLENI Motorcycle Jacket Motorbike Riding Jacket Windproof Motorcycle Full Body Protective Gear Armor

I'm loving the style and feel of this jacket compared to a different jacket I had bought last year for riding around the same price point. At least with this one I am getting the shoulder, elbow, and back protection which the other one did not have and also having the arm and waist adjustment if I want a tighter feel. I also like the added reflection stripe on the back for when I ride at night. I will say if you are not used to wearing a jacket that has paddings then it will feel a little bulky but otherwise it's still comfortable. I did have an issue at first getting the back padding inserted in the back pocket but with a little force it went in just fine with a perfect fit. The pockets do feel a little high but it's not that a big deal for me since I don't really use them. The jacket has great quality for the price that you are paying for.

This review will be highly subjective, because this jacket is very much a use-case scenario; i.e.: if it's for the reasons I bought it and will note here, great, buy it. If you're looking for something that goes more towards the negatives I point out, go with something else. Overall, I say it's a great buy for the price, especially compared with brand-name stuff.Pros:Out of the box, everything seems to be good quality, especially for the price; seems quite robust in fabric and stitching, and looks like it will take a good roughing-up and not tear up, but only time will tell.Regarding size: if you're looking to use it over other clothing, especially regular wear (I was/am), then the sizing is good; if you're looking for the adjusted/super-sport canyon/track carver fit, go a size smaller, or with a different design/style altogether, as it's slightly bulky.Re the fabric weight, same thing, I wanted it as a super outer layer, but if you're doing track days and stuff, get something else (it's almost more of sport-tourer jacket than a super-sport, although I imagine it would be good for cruisers and standards).The removable liner is perfect for my case: not too thick and warm (S. FL; and I didn't even break a sweat riding home int he Miami heat this PM from the pickup point)), but good insulation on chilly mornings, and easy to install/remove. Same with the armor pieces.Limited adjustability, but there is some weight snaps and straps (see below as well).Cons:It's quite a bit brighter/"orangier" red than appears in the listing. I imagine this will fade with time and usage (sun exposure), and it actually insures greater visibility, but it's definitely an octave up from Honda Red (I'm a Honda guy).The pockets are smaller than expected; they work fine, but getting gloves in and out of them is not as smooth as I'd want.The adjustment snaps and straps are fine, but the folds created in the fabric when they're used look like the'll cause a little wind drag; again, only time and use will tell here (same with weather-proofing).

Really impressed with the high quality materials and stitching. But bad pocket placement is almost a deal-breaker for me. I’ll explain below. I will list pros and cons overall:Pros:- Quality, the material is heavy duty and stitching is great.- Padding is good (others have complained about padding. It’s definitely good and better / thicker / more dense than other jackets I’ve had)- Fit (overall fit is excellent with a few notes. I’m 6 ft 190 lbs. I like slim fitting so I got a medium. Fits great and slim (I don’t like boxy which is what you get with most other jackets). Also note, yes, this jacket is short in front. But this is the style. It’s a race style jacket. See the photos of their model, the skinny guy with goatee, the way it fits him is exactly how it fits. The back part is a bit longer to cover underwear / crack.- Nice custom fit straps. Straps at waist and arms to customize fit.- Looks great. I definitely like the looks better than the other goofy looking moto jackets on Amazon.Cons:- Lack of pockets. KEY COMPLAINT: the main pockets are in an awkward position where it’s actually tough to get your hands inside because the pockets are at your ribs. Very awkward hand position to get into pocket. There is a hidden inside pocket near the main zipper at your chest, which is nice, but you have to unzip jacket each time to access. I would have liked better/additional pockets.- No vents. Yes, this jacket is hot, so I wear it without the liner unless it’s cold out. With wind from riding it’s perfect even on hot days, but when you stop moving it gets hot fast in hot temps, but not unbearable.Overall happy with purchase. I’d say order your normal size. If you like medium Tshirts, order a medium. Etc.
