PowerTrip Diablo Men's Textile Jacket

By Anonymous from Anytown, USA on 05/19/2008

Pros: I really like the way the jacket fits. All you have to do is take in or out a couple of snaps and it will conform to your body and all the pads will line right up. With out the liner this jacket breathes very well and can be worn during summer months. If it is cold just throw the liner in and go for your stroll. Great Jacket!!

Cons: The liner makes the jacket a little bit smaller than expected. Therefore if you are going to do a lot of riding with the liner in you may want to get one size up.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Pros: Great air flow. Soft neck edging. Adjustable sleeve at wrist.

Cons: Waterproof liner does not breath. Male end of snap connecter on forearm adjuster near elbow came apart. JB welded back together. I could have sent it back, but it wasn't worth the effort.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: Being on the short side, the sleeves were about an inch too long but the elbow armor was still in the correct location when riding.

Comments: Other than the snap, there was nothing else out of place on the jacket. Stitching is good and the jacket is light. I rode with the liner in and a fleece shirt underneath in 45 degree weather... (Read the rest of this review)

Pros: Super cool ultra light jacket great for ridding in hot weather. Red flames on sleeves are bright red great for being visible in traffic. Cool patches that reflect at night are a great plus!

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Pros: The gun metal, white, red combo is among the best looking jackets I've seen. The ventilation far exceeds my expectations. Zippers all work flawlessly. The liner makes a huge difference. Jacket is great on hot days, great on cool days (I don't typically ride when its below 50 F).

Cons: Would like more options to take up excess material in the midsection - but this is no different than any other jackets I have seen. I would also like a textile jacket I can just throw in the washer after removing the pads. Hand washing is a hassle, but this may not be unusual for textile jackets.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: I have a 42" chest and a 31" waist, so the belly area has more material than I would like and nothing I do keeps it from looking big in the mid section - but this is typical as I do not have an average build. I would like more snaps on the side to take up some of that extra material, but like most jackets it is designed for the average physique, not the extreme build of a single digit body fat former Marine (5'9" tall, 180 pounds, 42" chest, 31" waist).

Comments: Looked long and hard for a jacket I liked and this was among my favorites. Glad I got it, its a great jacket for the price. I have not seen a single rider in the area with the same jacket, so if... (Read the rest of this review)
