Pros: I've owned this jacket for a while now and its been doing great for me here in the hot and humid state of Florida. The protection you get for the price you pay is phenomenal as well as worthwhile. The mesh lets enough air get through the jacket to keep you cool while you're moving and the leather is stitched into all those parts you want a little "extra" protected. I really like the adjustable straps as they allow you to get just the right fit. Also the face shield storage works like a charm allowing you to swap out your tinted visor for a clear visor at night or vice versa when the suns beaming in your face. The audio pocket easily holds an mp3 player allowing you to listen to music on those long rides if you choose to.

Cons: The only real negative thing I can think about when it comes to this jacket is that sometimes the elbow armor moves just a tad, making you have to adjust it while moving or at a stoplight. However, this does not happen often.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Comments: If you need a jacket and your on a budget and can only spend around $200 then this is it.

Pros: Leather in the impact areas is a nice feature not found in many other jackets in this price range.

Cons: Well firstly, the neck opening is HUGE if you don't have the liner in. At 6'1" 200 pounds, the neck opening looks big even on me. That isn't the part that really bothers me the most. I have owned this jacket for 4 months and wear it infrequently (2 times a week) and the seems are starting to come undone along both sleeves. Really disapointing. Fraying after 4 months is completely unacceptable. Also, the fitment is a bit odd and loose around the sides below the arms. All in all, really disapointed in the quality of worksmenship by Joe Rocket on this. If you don't mind a huge neck opening, baggy sides, and poor stiching, then this jacket is for you.

Sizing Info: Fits 1 size smaller

Comments: Buy something else

Pros: Everything! I love the leather textile combo allows for great ventilation, I wore this jacket in 95 degree weather and felt fine (without the liner). With the liner inside I don't see how this jacket or any jacket can be worn in hot weather. I put on the liner to test it out and I was sweating to the point my inside shirt was soaked. I will use the liner in the colder months to test it out. Great shoulder, elbow and spine protectors which get into proper position as you strap yours self into the jacket. Great buy, I would recommend this jacket to anyone.

Cons: While every part of the jacket fits perfectly, the left and right side of the abs section of the jacket seems baggy. Other than that a great jacket.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: Everything I wear is a large when it comes to shirts so I got myself a large and fits really well. Just follow the sizing instructions and you should be ok.
