Pros: Have had this jacket since 2007. One lay down at 15 mph in a corner and no damage. Easily upgradeable back protector (recommended as this is just a pad). Love the style and wear it every day for commuting. With liner will easily accomodate 50° F to 90° F.
Cons: Get the tan one for hot weather and visibility. I got the black one and it really soaks up the heat in the sun. Zipper pull broke 1.5 years in (constant use) and now I use a big paperclip. Wife threw it in the wash without taking the armor out and wore a hole during the spin cycle, but I don't think this was designed for such duty.
Airflow is not very good for high temps, but too good for really cold. I just layer other jackets for colder and just sweat more for hotter.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
I keep trying to come up with a reason to buy a new jacket, but this one is performing so well I can't.

Great Jacket
By Retired Army Guy from Memphis, TN
Pros: This is a well padded jacket and is padded in key areas. Nice and light compared to a heavy leather jacket. If you are a thick person; the sizing is perfect; if you have a small gut; it's perfect. It's a true head turner; people always think that it was a special order. GREAT JACKET!!!!!!!
Cons: Need to offer model for retirees. Sleeves are a little long; but they are adjustable.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Awesome Jacket
By HMM from Texas, USA
Pros: Very good ventilation. Well padded. Great construction and looks. Sweet features.
Cons: None
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: It has a larger than usual gut/waist area, but if you get a smaller size you might end up with short sleeves. It does have an adjustable velcro on the waist so thats good.
Comments: This is one badass riding jacket. I recommend this to anyone who needs a good quality textile jacket. It gets many looks while I am riding and you really feel secure in it. It has good ventilation... (Read the rest of this review)

Good jacket
By Asphalt Slider from Labelle, FL
Pros: I think PowerTrip did a good job on this jacket. Lots of pads on the chest, Good air flow, Key pocket on left wrist is very nice. Outside chest pockets are very nice, Well made jacket for the price.
Cons: You get a lot of funny looks from people. Anti-war people don't like it. (WARNING! May cause sudden sensations of invulnerability when first equipped, May instill a high scenes of Patriotism and Pride for the U.S., Not recommended for left wing democrats).
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: A bit large in the gut area
