Zonda / Silver-Neon Yellow / Adventure Motorcycle Jacket

Comfortable Riding Jacket "Starter Kit"

I have an athletic build and at 5'8, I usually wear 40 for shirts and got this jacket in medium. Fits true to size and comes with shoulder, elbow, and back CE 2 protection along with a removable rain jacket and warm liner. The jacket outer liner feels slightly thinner in comparison to a Bilt Techno 2 and the sleeves do not zip open but have another mesh lining. Has 2 open side pockets and a hook/loop fastener for the front pockets instead of zippers and same thing for the collar. For the price, it's a good starter jacket and felt really good riding in 80 degree weather.

Best jacket on the market

The Zonda in my opinion is the best jacket for the money. The quality of the source materials, the craftsmanship. This looks and feels like an$800 jacket for a much more reasonable price point. The fit is fantastic. They give you extra linings inside as well/ Most jackets have 2 this one has 3, an extra thermal layer if needed. And the liners are held in with zippers not a snap. I have a kit from a national chain and side by side the Zonda jacket is superior in every way!!!!

Excellent adv / touring jacket - looks great, feels great and level 2 armor

Great jacket for the adv / touring space! This is a very comfortable jacket with excellent protection in the armor. The materials used are lightweight but appear to be very durable. The armor pieces look to be well made and the jacket comes with elbow, shoulder, and back armor pieces that stay in place well and are all easily removeable if you need. The back pad is a little heavy and I may drill some holes in it for breathability. There is re-enforced material at the elbow in the event of a crash, but not in the shoulder. I have not been able to test out the mesh airflow yet since it's cold and rainy / snowing here, but I have tried the rain and insulated liners and they do a GREAT job at keeping the weather out - I do wish the rain liner was just a little bit longer though - would be nice to be able to remove it and just wear it by itself for those times when you get to camp and just need a light jacket - just too short for that. The sleeves of the insulated liner and rain liner zip in to the cuff of the jacket for a very secure fit and don't give you the sensation that you're pulling them all the way out of your sleeve when you take the jacket off - but this also does take a little longer to zip them in than just the snap type ones. I like it though. The rain shell will not fit OVER the jacket due to sizing, so it's strictly an inside the jacket liner. Overall, I'm REALLY impressed with this jacket and look forward to putting it through a lot more rides and conditions but for now, I really love it. The only other thing I should probably mention is maybe go 1 size up from what you normally would wear. I'm 6'1" and 265 lbs - so a bigger guy, and normally wear a 2X or a 3X, but in this jacket, I needed a 4X. Based off of this jacket, I'll be trying out some more stuff from the Wardler brand for sure!
