I purchased this jacket because I was looking for something I could wear in the summer, that didn't make me look like a football player or superhero. I like the simple look and minimal bulk from the armor. And it fits my body well. I am 6'0" and 170 lbs. I stuck with the size 52 after trying both the 50 and 52. I could have gone with either really. I liked how snug the size 50 was, it felt good, but didn't leave any room for wearing layers underneath or anything, so I decided to play it safe and get the larger size 52. I still feel the 52 is snug enough to hold the armor in place, etc. FWIW, based on chest size I would have went with the size 50... but my height pushed me towards the 52.

The new Sub glove chassis enjoys several benefits previously found only on gloves at a much higher price. Built around a proven Battlehide goatskin palm and finger gussets foundation, the Sub is more than ready for asphalt chaos. A lightweight textile backhand with a high-mobility thumb, not only creates a prime canvas for Icon's finest art, but provides excellent dexterity and abrasion resistance. Completing the protection package is the plastic knuckle armor group fortified to help disperse the shock of the incoming tarmac barrage. The Sub glove - designed to do your dirty work so your skin doesn't have too. Abrasion resistant premium grade Battlehide goatskin palm Injected plastic knuckle armor Short cuff design with secure wrist closure Pre-curved palm and finger design Imported

A good glove. It fit a little tight at first, but I think that's appropriate as it "breaks in". There is plenty of airflow, and they are quite comfortable. I like the minimalist look of them. I didn't want anything too bulky or super-hero-ish. Simple black gloves.

Does this jacket stretch over time or 'break in'?
Hi, I ordered both the 50 and 52 to compare. And I can't decide which is better for me. I am 6'0". 175 lbs. 39" chest. The 50 is snug, and I'm wondering if it will break in or change over time (stretch, shrink, etc)? The 50 is also a little short in the torso (about at my belt, if I'm standing normally). The 52 has a little room and is a better length, but isn't as snug around the chest and shoulders. So how "snug" is too snug? Any thoughts on what I should stick with and what I should return. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How does this jacket compare to the T-Omega Air Flow Jacket?
I've tried on the T-omega jacket. How is this one different besides the "style". Is it lighter weight? Different Features?
