Gixxus Christ! Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Looking to replace my summer jacket this year, there's nothing wrong with it, just never really fit me right in the arms. It's an agv sport mesh and perforated leather jacket. I'd love to find something similar to it that doesn't hang off of me in places like this one does. So who loves what they have?

thompsonian Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm currently sporting Alpinestars jackets. Love them, tho the fit around the midsection is a bit tight. I suppose I could lose weight to fix that... I used to have a Fieldsheer full mesh and loved it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 +1 to the Alpinestars. Just got one, best jacket I have ever had. It feels great, fits great and just oozes quality. Contact MIKE @RidersDiscount to get a cool deal on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) I picked up a Roland Sands leather jacket that perforated from the pony for $170 originally marked at $750 lololol. But it flows air really well. https://www.ironpony.com/ipd/pi.asp/ImageName/RD7949ZumaBlkLthrJkt.jpg/Brand/Roland-Sands-Design/c2/Jackets-and-Vests/c3/Leather-Jackets/c1/Street-Products/KitKey2/Zuma-Leather-Black-Jacket-Mens Edited April 26, 2018 by zx3vfr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 a description of the arm issues would help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think it was a mistake, jacket fits great in the waist and shoulders, but arms are too long and way too loose, and it's not like I have skinny arms. My Joe Rocket leather leaves welts on my arms if I wear it too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alansz400 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I bought the older version of this https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/olympia-switchback-2-jacket a few years ago and love it. Fits great, flows plenty of air the liner packs down small for when it cools off later in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I've had 2 Rev'it mesh jackets (Airwave & Levante) and I have been very happy with them. Another +1 for the Alpinestars stuff as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tall_tracy Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Is the jacket worth having altered since besides your T-Rex arm problems the rest of it fits you?? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) I've got a Scorpion Clutch perf leather jacket. Fits me great other than the arms are tight around the bicep, and the price was good @ $289 on sale at Iron Pony. Correction, pretty sure I just tried it on at Iron Pony but ordered it from RD Edited April 26, 2018 by Helmutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I have 2 fieldsheers with relativly short snug arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackImpact Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-airforce-jacket I very much love this jacket. Revit makes about 3 different cuts. This one seemed the loosest on my growing midrift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I picked up a cheaper Joe Rocket synthetic mesh in all silver and white for the Florida heat. Flows air and stays cool quite well. But, bought a small instead of medium and discarded the liner to fit. Got a better fit on arm length for whatever reason. Two issues with it, the shoulder pads were down on the arms. Pinned them up where they belong. Makes no sense considering it was a size smaller across the shoulders. The back bunches up a bit, most likely the back pad. Haven't fiddled with that yet. The area around the collar whips in the wind at freeway speeds. Annoying, but haven't messed with that yet either. I think it should be stiffer in some way. Overall it works well in sun wind and rain. It didn't cost that much. Joe Rocket sort of invented mesh jackets, so it's pretty much what I expected. On the other hand, my Field Sheer textile denim jacket pretty much works nearly as good, even though it's quite heavier. Lots of zippers for airflow. My only leathers is an old Brooks set from the late 60s. Probably collectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
