Bikers Gear The Rocker Motorcycle Black Leather Cafe Racer Jacket CE1621-1 PU Armour

I very rarely write reviews, but I logged on specially to write this.I was in the market for a cool looking motorcycle jacket that I would use to ride in. I'm not a long distance rider that will cover continents, I just pootle around and cover maybe 300 miles a month. I wanted somethinng that was a little bit more casual than my gortex riding jacket, would also offer me the protection in case of an off, and would be good quality, but not cost me the price of my motorbike.The quality of this jacket is evident from the outset. The thing is heavy, the leather is of good quality and think. There are useful pockets for your body armour> Back, shoulders and elbows. It has an inner shell, but it's not very thick.I wear this when I go out, and in the -1c cutting winds we've had recently, it was warmer than any of my other jackets I own.I have put proper armour in (D30), but the ones that come with it for the shoulders and elbows have CE marks on them and feel tough. The back one is not worth bothering with, but hey, I prefer to use my own, and if it came with D30 like may of the others do, it'd be £200+ easy.I have some small gripes, maybe bigger zips to grab hold of... but this is just churlish to even mention them.The jacket is great, good quality and looks good!You need to make sure you have the right size. I am 5'9" 32-24" waist, 38" chest and I originally orderd an XL, but it swamped me. I sent it back and now have an L which fits perfectly. I wear it over a thick'ish hoodie and it's snug, but would still also work over a T-Shirt.If you have any doubts, don't. You won't regret buying this jacket!

Good points:Price, delivery time, Appearance,Bad points:Sizing.Firstly this jacket looks good out of the box. Seems like nice leather, good pockets, removable armour. (The back plate is a hard foam CE?, it has a velcro pocket but it's sewed into the back plate amour shape so you need to fold it in 2, to remove it). Good zips & poppers. I was looking for a tight fitting jacket where I could just wear a t-shirt under it.Im skinny, so looked for ages to find a small jacket, I'm 37inch chest (up to 38/39 when I do some weights ). So thought this would be perfect according to the size chart, alas the small 36inch could easily fit a 40inch chest tight fit which I was hoping the small would be. The arms also are about an inch too long and baggy which messes up the whole arm as the padding can move around too much ( length should be OK leaning foward on the bike ).So this is good for the money, but might use as a winter jacket as can wear a few jumpers underneath to fill it out. If you have an athletic frame, and know your normal size you may be disappointed with the cut of the jacket. I don't know why everyone says get a size up, the jackets must be swimming on ye.

This jacket cost less than £45 on Amazon and it is excellent. The leather is thick but supple, the armour needed small hands to insert but once it was in it is very comfortable. I haven’t used it in anything other than very light rain but it isn’t the type of jacket that you would use for rain protection; it’s more of a dry weather protective riding jacket. I would definitely recommend it. The sizing seems to be on the smaller size; my jacket is L but I would normal wear medium sized clothes so you probably need one size up from your normal size.

This is a superb jacket for the money. Nice quality thick leather with good zips and fasteners. Removable shoulder and elbow pads supplied. It’s got the essential zip to attach to your trousers and they even provide an extra blank zip so you can attach to different brand or jeans.In line with other reviewers suggestions I ordered XXL, and unfortunately was sent an XL by accident.I’m normally XL which did fit, but it was snug and in the winter would be hard to get a jumper beneath. Amazon quickly rectified the problem and now it’s very nearly perfect.My only little gripe is that it wouldn’t have really been much of a stretch for them to put real leather detailing on the arms - the faux leather looks a bit cheap and that’s just going to get worse as it wears.

Not the most comfortable and it's heavy but it's fully leather so that's why, it's not unnecessary weight just weight. In terms of protection were going to have to see when I eventually go sliding across the tarmac at 40 but it should be alright as long as it doesn't get too hot

Sizing is tricky - people say on reviews come up small I found the opposite! I’m a size 44 inch chest so went up a size, had to return as huge - then ordered the XL as this is for a 44 chest, exchanging process was good no complaints but even the 44 XL is to big should have gone for the size below but to late now as worn a couple of times - great jacket but sizing is difficult

Genuinely a bit surprised by how good the quality of this jacket is. I wasn’t expecting much given some of the mixed reviews but it’s great quality leather, really soft right from the beginning.One thing to echo other reviews- BUY 2 SIZES LARGER THAN YOU USUALLY DO. I am a slim/average build 5 foot 7 guy who usually wears a size small in virtually everything. I bought a large in this jacket and it’s the perfect fit.

Amazing jacket, worth every penny, a little large but i wouldn't risk buying a size smaller as it is only a little bit larger than required. I would buy another in a heart beat.
