So far I love the jacket. Going to Alaska this summer when I will really know if it can be a four season jacket. The water bottle thingy digs into my back a bit, that is the only neg. I can think of so far.
Alpinestars Matrix Kevlar Jacket Designed to take on the city streets in style, Alpinestars Matrix Kevlar Jacket incorporates CE certified protectors and Kevlar reinforcements in a design that reveals a streetwise attitude. Constructed from Cotton based fabric with a double PU coating that combines a soft feel with weather resistance and durability. Inner Kevlar elbow and shoulder reinforcements for abrasion resistance in key impact areas. Adjustable CE certified Bio Armor protectors in the elbows and shoulders are extremely lightweight and offer exceptional impact protection. The protectors can also be removed for casual use. Convenient internal Napoleon pocket with zipper Please Note The Matrix Kevlar Jacket does not have a back protector pocket.
Love the style, but am concerned that the Matrix Kevlar won't flow enough air in the Baltimore summer heat. Any thoughts? Also, can you confirm that this does have a pocket for back protection?
It does have back protection and the air flow is the best I have even seen on any jacket that isn't a purely air style jacket.
