Bikers GearAustralia Chicane Lightweight Summer Air Flow Mesh Vented Motorcycle Jacket with CE 1621-1 Removable Armour Waterproof Liner Cordura

Summer motorcycle jacket. Easy to order and arrived on time. I have had a chance to wear this in the recent hot and humid weather and it does everything I need. It has armour at the shoulder, elbow and the usual back protection. This armour is hardly noticeable when using the jacket and that is a good thing. The jacket has 3 layers with 2 detachable and that is the water proof lining along with an inner warm lining. I took both out and was really pleased with the mesh effect, cool air came in via both torso and arms and this made for a comfortable ride. I bought the jacket specifically to wear in Spain and I am sure it will do a good job. Bottom line is a good versatile jacket for a very reasonable price.

At last warm weather biking and not being cooked at the same time. Lightweight, perfect. Takes up half the room of a normal coat, has all the protection and looks great. Really comfortable fit with loads of mobility. Definitely go one size up however. I rode from South Wales to Birmingham in the early evening the day this came in August. I wore a t shirt and ordinary cotton shirt underneath with liner taken out and did not sweat at all. There are a few sharp edges on the armour pad areas when the liner is out but some sandpaper and or tape will smooth that out. The liner comes with a waterproof outer which can then be split again down to just the padded jacket, so effectively you have 3 jackets. All very light and seemingly well made. I am delighted with it. This is seriously good kit at a good price. I am after some 44 inch waist short fit trousers of the same make now I am so impressed with it.

Firstly amazon sent me the wrong size I’m a 42inch chest and ordered the 4xl. The 3xl was sent, with the thermal and waterproof layer it was snug, however on taking out those layers ( as in my opinion this is a summer jacket and I see no point having a thermal or waterproof layer inside, if it rains I will put it in but wont wear it and I have a Richa winter jacket and can easily wear a hoodie with this 3xl.Onto the jacket, good quality, the body armour is foam and not something I would trust I swapped it out for my D30 which fit perfectly. Honestly they are better than nothing but the fact you buy a motorbike jacket means to me you want protection so best to upgrade them as to get a jacket with D30 is double this price.It’s a long jacket as opposed to short but I think this is because I ordered a 3xl so is bigger.It has 3 pockets if you remove all the layers, an internal and two external both appear waterproof.The thing that confuses me for a summer jacket is that there is a fleece neck lining which seems silly for a jacket that is for summer.I think this jacket is more of a autumn/summer jacket as the thermal layer seems good enought for cold days.I’m using this as my main jacker until the winter comes and will wear a hoody underneath if a bit nippy and as said keep the waterproof in my bag.For £65 it’s a bargain and it gets 4/5 stars because of the poor body armour and receiving the wrong size

This is a very nice well armoured but lightweight short jacked,it comes with 2 linings the bottom one to keep the rider warm the second is waterproof and the outer one is mesh .I bought this at the start of the recent heat wave and took both linings out and just used the outer jacket and it was very effective highly recommended in hot weather to stay cool ,the only slight criticism is I needed to buy high viz straps as the only colour is black and wearing a high viz vest would have defeated the object.

A good jacket for three seasons ( unless you wear lots of layers ) the jacket has a large are of mesh to allow air flow, the liners bulk it out when fitted so use the arm and side adjusters to get the fit right. I have not tested it in the rain but at 2 deg C it gets a bit nippy even with 2 layers of clothing but this was at about 60mph. At normal town riding speeds I guess it would be alright. You may need to buy a size up due to the liners, but if buying for warmer weather with the waterproof liner only it will be a snug fit so if for all season riding go one size up to allow for layers, if you want a ventilated jacket for warm weather buy your size.

For the price, you really cant go wrong. I took a bit of a punt on this jacket and I was pleased I did as its a great bit of kit for summer riding.The mesh gives lots of ventilation (obviously) and it comes with a thin waterproof type inner and a thicker warmer inner, so a 3 in 1 jacket...however, I cant comment on the warmth or dryness as I only bought it for warm summer riding.I'm 6ft1 and it still nicely on my waist and doesn't ride up when I am riding, due to straps that tighten at the bottom. Comes with good protection on the shoulders and elbows too, although when it first arrived, I felt like the shoulder pads seemed a little too big for the jacket and seemed to stick out a little. However, a bit of manipulation and they're a little better now and it doesn't look like that on the bike, compared to when I am posing in the mirror.A great buy and I defo recommend

Surprised me. I thought I will risk it but found this to be very well designed for summer/autumn. You can get just get the layers off when needed. Love the wind cooling me through the mesh in summer.A great well designed product. Works for me.

I wear it all the time without the inner lining as putting it in and then taking it out is a pain so do not bother. Of course where I live it hardly rains so on windy days I can put on a jersey as a jumper would drive me mad.
