SilvrT Posted January 20, 2014 #1 Posted January 20, 2014 If so, let's hear what you have to say. If not, let's hear what you think. http://www.missinglnk.com/product/jackets-2/mens-rival-jacket/
Bubber Posted January 20, 2014 #2 Posted January 20, 2014 I LIKE THE REFLECTIVE ASPECT! Jackets looks good too. Don't need to carry a shooting iron, I avoid places where I would need to carry one. Great to have the pockets though. Pricey Good luck on your decision. Bubber
kantornado Posted January 20, 2014 #3 Posted January 20, 2014 If it breathes If it is some what water proof (lol) If it protects in a crash If it's reflective enough If you like it Buy it
dueyk1111 Posted January 20, 2014 #4 Posted January 20, 2014 Looks like a very funtional jacket! bout like buying a good leather jacket, price wise. Like the reflective part also.
Stealthblade Posted January 20, 2014 #5 Posted January 20, 2014 I would like to hear more about the materials. They say " High quality soft leather with contrasting white stitching" I want to know more about the leather, they should be able to list standards. Also, I cannot find a review that does not match word for word from their own site. I'm quite interested in this jacket, but I need more reviews. If they have revolutionized the market, they will send a sample to every major motorcycle review site to prove that.
Eck Posted January 20, 2014 #6 Posted January 20, 2014 I think it is a neat idea for a motorcycle jacket, but I only have one concern with it. Their advertisement / write up includes this comment: Not only does it zip out, but it can be reversed to become a stand alone HiViz Mesh Safety Vest that expands large enough to be worn over the jacket when during inclement weather or whenever increased visibility is desired. I see no mention of being water resistant / proof during inclement weather. My concern: If the sleeves "zip" off, I begin to wonder how water proof / resistant the jacket really is, thinking water will seep thru the shoulder zippers. I may be wrong, but this is my only concern / thought. Would be nice if it is water proof / resistant.

Eck Posted January 21, 2014 #8 Posted January 21, 2014 Eck, Also, the removable is fleece. I bet that is awesome in the rain. I could see removing the fleece and storing it in the side bag or trunk if its raining, but this may cause the rider to be cold during riding in rain and I'm still concerned about water penetration thru any /all zipper areas. The jacket looks like a very nice jacket though.

I see your concern about waterproof zippers, raise you my belief that fleece reflective safety under liner placed outside the jacket is not waterproof, and call out someone to try this jacket out because I really like the concept.
