I had been looking to get one of these used for a while, and saw these were on sale and went for one. At the reduced price, it is a great jacket! Has protection where you need it and flows a good bit of air. It has a very sporty fit, which I like, and looks pretty cool. I just wish the leather was perforated. This would help to improve the air flow a good bit. I still sweat in it when it's hot outside (I live in GA, it's pretty humid in the summer), but it does what it's supposed to.
I feel the leather in the impact areas is a much needed addition to this type of jacket. I also own a REV'IT Airforce jacket, which is supposed to have some pretty abrasion recent material. I went down on the street on it at around 30-35 mph (I looked away from traffic for a split second and when I looked back I realized I had to brake and grabbed too much, probably also pulled on the handlebars). The fall ripped through the fabric pretty easily at the elbow armor, I actually scrapped up my arm a little where there was no armor. I was not impressed with it to say the least. I was also wearing a pair of Shift Lowdown jeans and you can barely tell I hit the asphalt on those and they are cotton, and I took a pretty hard hit to my hip.
But overall a cool looking and functional jacket!

What kind of armor can I use in this?
I see that it has pockets for CE armor. Will any armor fit in there such as the Wave G, or is there jacket specific armor for this?
You can use the SAS-Tec back protector on it. Just cut to whichever size it needs to be.
