Appreciate it. For me, I'd say anything over 50 degrees is probable too hot for the jacket (even with the liner removed). With that said, I guess it really depends on your tolerance for heat, we are all built differently. I also prefer to layer my clothing, prior to moving to the full leather jacket.
Great review. I have a first mfg shorty vest that I really love, and just bought a leather jacket from them. Really high quality and thick leather too.
Agreed. I didn’t buy my jacket straight from their website, but I later checked it out and learned that they’ve given their customers the ability to custom build their own leathers. I thought it was a pretty cool concept.
How’s it work with cold wind, say if you were riding in 40 or 50 degrees, ? Does it block wind from coming through the leather, thanks excellent review
It definitely cuts the cold weather wind out. I've been on rides with it under 40 degrees and my torso was warm, while my hands (with gloves) were freezing to the point that I had to warm them on the motor. It's a warm jacket.
We did. She ended up going with the Speed and Strength Brat Armored Moto Shirt. It's kind of the best of both worlds (jacket/moto shirt mix) . Here is the current link to their website: www.ssgear.com/product/brat/
Bought one wore it twice and sold it. The liner is no good. It needs a two way zipper so it won’t bunch up while riding, the neck opening is way to large let’s alot of air in, multiple layers of leather and pockets in body area make the jacket feel congesting in the chest area plus if you try layering such as with a hoodie the sleeves get really tight. Just my experience.
Really good in-depth review I’ve been lookin at this jacket but have heard the sleeves are kinda short I run apes on my bike so I need a lil length in the sleeves……..what’s your opinion on it do you think the sleeves are ok ?
Thanks John. I haven't had any issues with the sleeves being too short. I can tell you that my overall sleeve length measurement (from the middle of my back just under my neck, over my shoulder, to my elbow and then to my wrist) is 36 inches. I'm running 12 inch risers with the stock bars, so around 14 to 15 inches total rise. Hope this helps?
That’s honorable to give up your jacket, I’ve been there lol. However as you may know it’s also not safe to pilot the motorcycle if you’re not comfortable. Cold conditions will restrict your blood vessels causing low body temperature. Body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making you unable to think clearly and move well. Ever race to your destination to get warm? Or think that the faster you are going the warmer you are? It’s actually very dangerous. Of course in the warmer months it’s a different story. I make sure my passengers have gear that fits them appropriately since it’s my responsibility and part of ownership if I’m gonna ride two up. I own multiple helmets w/ coms to easily communicate (or share music), various styles of women’s jackets for all seasons (s,m), gloves, boots and socks. In fact all of the above came in handy tonight since she stopped over and we decided to go for a cruise earlier on a cool 60° night for dinner. She said she felt so pampered lol. But yeah, this is a good jacket I’m thinking about grabbing it. Good review 👍 Nice bike, too!
Great review! Can you wear this during the summer? At what temperature would it be too warm to wear? Thanks

Definitely agree if they upgraded the holster option it would a plus
Excellent review
Appreciate it Jose.
Awesome! I’m about the same weight and height I’m glad I bought the large
It’s a good jacket, I think you’ll be happy with it.

@@Idahoup thanks for the reply, I order one from revzilla, said I heard about it from your channel,
@@indiancreek1570 Much appreciated! Stay warm my friend.
Did you ever buy her a jacket, what model, and how did it fit?
We did. She ended up going with the Speed and Strength Brat Armored Moto Shirt. It's kind of the best of both worlds (jacket/moto shirt mix) . Here is the current link to their website: www.ssgear.com/product/brat/
@@Idahoup just purchased my wife the First Manufacturing Cyclone jacket. I’m sure she’ll end up with a hoodie and shirt too. Thx for reply.
Hows that Raider Jacket holding up man?!
Honestly, you might want to ask me in another year. The weather I’ve typically been riding in is too hot for the jacket, it still looks brand new:)
@Idahoup Word! Will do Chief! Thanks!

I still love mine. Everything can’t be for everyone.
