Roadskin® Dakota: AA Rated Armoured Summer Motorcycle Jacket

Lovely jacket, material feels sturdy and plenty of pockets which i like. But there's a few things I need to say - it's true when they say "loose fit", i'm short and skinny so the jacket feels baggy on the chest and sleeves (and i bought the smallest size). the arm plates move about a bit which worries me if i take a fall and protection doesn't do its jobs because the sleeve wasn't tight enough against my arms. Chest feels baggy too but i've only wore it with ventilation open, maybe won't feel as big if i close the main zipper. Decent ventilation, although i wish there was some under the armpits because the arms do get pretty warm. To be able to fit the cuffs onto my oxford summer gloves (they're the long style, over the wrist if that makes sense) i tried to use the cuff buttons but it pinches the material onto my wrist and it feels uncomfortable very quickly so i decided not to use the buttons and just force the sleeves into the gloves, a little extra time and faff but a much more pleasant experience. So all that said i'm guessing this is more of a spring and autumn season jacket with a hoodie underneath, for people of smaller sizes, to counter the looseness. I would look for something else for the peak hot summer weather, maybe an armoured shirt. I can only blame myself for not paying attention to the description regarding the loose fit.

Very positive. I followed the recommendation to take size lower than normal (XL) so I ordered large. Fits snugly without feeling or looking trussed up. Very nice feel to the garment and very comfortable to wear. Very good value for money in my opinion - especially given the Rheon armour is included.

Really comfortable and clever in its design to keep you as cool as it’s suggests it would. Sizing is spot on and with the armour in it’s still supple to wear.
