Great jacket! I looked high and low for a woman's leather jacket with armor and I kept coming back to this ONE. I'm new to the riding scene but am fully hooked and am thrilled with my first jacket. Before buying, I was concerned with the potential of it looking too "Star Wars-y" (and I like Star Wars just fine!) but pulling it out of the box I knew I'd made the right choice. The safety features include more than I could find elsewhere in leather, it has a flattering feminine shape once on, and when I rode with it for the first time I felt as though I'd had it for some time already! I have an average build, am 5'3 or 5'4, 150lbs, with approx 34" bust, approx 34" waist, and approx 42" hip. I used the sizing guides, ordered a medium, and am very happy with the fit. I like how the bottom has zippers to allow more room for wider hips and a fuller bottom without having to compromise with too large of a chest area. The arms are long but perfect for the forward lean on a sport bike and the hoodie-esque cuffs prevent wind from traveling up the arms. When not moving, it can get a bit warm with only a t-shirt under it but the inside vest can be removed for a little more air flow. I 'll probably have to wear it more for it to stretch some to allow for multiple layers once it gets cooler outside (IF extra layers are even needed!) but, for summer riding, this won't be neccesary. HIGHLY recommended!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Women's sizing help
I've been looking for a good looking, flexible, but protective sport glove and I may have found it! However, upon doing the sizing I have a question! Measuring around my palm brings me to 8" which, if I follow the sizing chart, I believe puts me into the men's gloves or if I'm lucky, the women's XL. I'm ok with wearing the men's size, but I'm concerned about a couple of things. Most reviewers state one should go a size up from what they measure. If I do this, I'm afraid it may be TOO large for me, or at least the fingers may be too long. Measuring from the base of my palm to the top, I am just under 4". My middle finger is just over 3". Should I stick with the Men's MD (or Women's XL if it's not too narrow), or order the Men's LG?
