Number 1 issue for leather jacket fitment is the length of the torso. Leather is stiff, if the length is too long it will ride up on you when you sit on the bike. If too short, your lower back gets exposed, bad in a crash. Try before you buy.
Could you please suggest which one to choose and why 1. Likes of Revit Dominators GTX - big dollars 2. Jackets such as Hit-Air or Helite with integrated safety airbag 3. Mid range 200-400$ range coupled with separate airbag vests Also a basic question, while riders these days are opting for big dollar jackets yet I don't see much interest in airbag jackets? Were airbag jackets a fad that died down already?
I'd like to see a video about the best budget leather jackets from amazon etc. Some of these reviews about the "best jackets" are simply out of most people's price bracket
Good video for sure. I wish Alpinestars would make more colors for their jackets. I’m about to buy the GP Plus R v2 airflow, but have to go with black since red or yellow don’t match my bike.
My jacket was old real old it had zipper down at both wrists and a heavy zipper down the front that went up to the strap with a snap across my neck two zipper pockets one on each chest at an angle like two slits each with a small pull chain the jacket was longer then most below belt line . the back of shoulders were not vented but pleated for added shoulder room I brought it to have the purple satin liner replaced and I guess somebody wanted my jacket more than me .. Anyone have any idea's It was Heine Gericke but I haven't been able to find that model .. HELP ///
Thanks for this. It’s fine that you restate the wearer’s measurements for each jacket, but would you consider including the size range Americanized if you will?
Just a suggestion, but on these types of videos you should keep the name of the product you are currently talking about in the corner or something the whole time you are talking about it. That way we don't have to rewind to find the name if a particular product if it catches our eye in the middle of the review.
what does it mean when He says, "No armor". I have heard the term a few times when watching some videos about motorcycle jackets, Not sure what it means exactly, I have a few ideas but Im not sure.
Hows the REV'IT! Ignition 3 compare to the Dainese Corbin D-Dry? Any reason why the Ignition 3 didn't make the list as its got level 2 armour and is slightly cheaper?
Even though it has Level 2 armor, the Ignition 3 only comes with a thermal vest liner, not a full sleeve thermal liner. The Corbin is a bit more versatile in that respect. However, if you have your own mid-layer and want Level 2 armor, then I'd go with the Ignition 3. -DrewZilla
I had a look on your website and it appears the Dainese has been discontinued. What would you recommend for someone looking for a leather jacket to be worn for 3 seasons when commuting (spring, summer, autumn)? Ideally after something that has the zips for ventilation, or a zip in rain proof liner to reduce wind/rain.
Most leathers will come with armor at the shoulder and elbow, and a pocket for a back protector as well. You can always find what comes with a particular jacket in the product description, or reach out to one of our Gear Geeks by giving us a call at 877-792-9455 or an email at CS@revzilla.com. -Zack
The Dainese Racing 3 Jacket is a direct replacement for the D1. Improvements include a more streamlined shoulder slider which is designed to slide more smoothly on the ground, should it need to do so, and a redesigned, more comfortable collar that no longer includes snaps. -DM
Thanks for the feedback!!! Been looking for months for a leather jacket and loved the styling of the Downtown. Only drawback is the lack of ventilation. But, major pro is it comes with shoulder and elbow protection.
What makes everything look more like a plastic bag!! Leather jacket should have some sort of color!! Burgundy, brown, white, white and black!! Even green! They need some color!
That would be light-colored mesh. We should have a mesh video coming out soon. In the meantime, here are some examples I like. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-tornado-2-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-levante-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/firstgear-adventure-mesh-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-amok-air-drystar-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/joe-rocket-phoenix-ion-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-eclipse-jacket
The video about the jackets is a load of crap first jacket I ever had was the first turbine leather jacket laid my bike down cuz I got rear-ended slid across the pavement about 20 25 feet the back of the jacket ripped open and my back got cut pretty bad. Now I have a Bilt Alder leather jacket and it fits and looks wonderful. And yes I have laid my bike down with this jacket due to another idiot four-wheeler sled about 15 feet still wearing the same jacket today
Hi Revzilla, im looking for a leather jacket, I love the look of the Merlin Trance jacket but can't find any reviews, it looks like it doesn't offer to much abrasion resistance like the leather is very thin compared to the dianese or brera on this video, would appreciate your input on the Merlin Trance I love the style but concerned it doesn't offer enough protection in a slide
The Trance does have a slightly lighter leather than the Brera and like-jackets, but not by much. It's only +/- .1mm difference and won't make or break a crash at the end of the day too much. Most casual styled leather jackets are a bit lighter in the leather thickness because its meant to be comfortable/casual as well as moto-protective like the sport-bike alternatives. I think the Trance would be a great option to go with and the reason there is no review is because they jacket is new and has not arrived in stock just yet. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat
Hoping we get an updated video for 2019-2020. Most of these jackets featured in this video are out of stock for most sizes. Does Revzilla restock these items or once they are gone they are gone forever to make room for the next model year's gear? Thanks for the video.
It depends on the jacket. Most motorcycle gear is around for more than just one year. If it's on 'closeout', then it's likely being discontinued. If it's just out of stock but not closeout, it will likely be restocked once more is produced. But to answer the initial question, we do update these videos periodically. -DrewZilla
Whats is the white/red/black alpinestar jacket in the background ? I'm looking for a (mostly) white leather jacket like the racing D1 pelle (which is not available anymore)
You are right, it is a Celer (v1) ... so it's a former model. How come they dont make white jackets anymore ? You can find as much black as you want, with small accent of red/white, but appart from the Dainese Mugello suit no-one make white leather :/
There are already a million black jackets. Do they really need more "black" variety at the detriment of other colors ... I guess I'll try to find a "design your own" service
Your size will vary brand to brand, likely around XL or 2XL. Each brand can have it's own size chart though, so it just depends. When you see a jacket you like, check out the chart on the product page and see where you fall. -Kraus-e
I own the Ronin. Leather quality is good, style is beautiful but liner is thin, cheap and already ripping after only one year of mild use. Made in India. I think you can get a much better jacket for the price of a Ronin. I don't know much about Brera.

First 2 jacket have horrible fit, too much bunched up material to ride on a motorcycle. Guess that's what you can expect from jackets made overseas using sweatshop labor - zero quality control.
I too would like to see a video about jackets for big guys. I have a biker gang for fat guys. We're called "Tons of Anarchy".

Despite being the cheapest, that first jacket is sick! I love simple perforated leather and it looks like it fits well and isn't bulky.
5’8” = 173. 38.5” = 98 centimeters. 170 pounds = 77 kg.
The Brera is the bomb. It is so nice I almost hate to wear mine on the bike.
Thanks for actually showing how it looks being worn both on and off a bike
One plus of this video is that I'll never forget Joe's measurements
7:04 ive never seen someone look so unflexible looking in my life

Here you go! ruclips.net/video/9Ibi_-mKm1I/видео.html
You guys are the best! I am a convinced customer.
Vanson's Pro Perf is the only perforated jacket I've ever found to make a noticeable difference while riding in warm weather.
Definelty love the format, starting from affordable to pricey. Love the new set
WTF Anthony!!!! I forever expect exasperated introduction with unnecessary head motions!
Good video for sure. I wish Alpinestars would make more colors for their jackets. I’m about to buy the GP Plus R v2 airflow, but have to go with black since red or yellow don’t match my bike.
I just got the light weight steet and steel perforated jacket its nice but has a few drawbacks i think, still need to break it in a little more
oh hey, I have the same shirt!
anyone else miss High Viz Brian? I may have watched too many of these videos...
Looks pretty bad ass cool!
Hello Revzilla!! I am 5'9 and 95 kg. Chest 44-45. Size 52 or 54 fit for me? Thank you!
You'll be a 54 in most jackets from European brands. -DrewZilla

Would the neck on this jacket be suitable for riding a sport tourer FJR1300 ?
Is Anthony still with RevZilla?

I want to buy a Dainese leather jacket.
Witch is the best? Racing D1 or Racing 3?
Or for the same price is any one better?... from Dainese 😉😎

Thoughts on Ducati Downtown leather jacket? Currently going for $400 from Ducati site.
It's made for Ducati by Dainese, so it's great quality, and at that price, it's a great deal. -DrewZilla
Thanks for the feedback!!! Been looking for months for a leather jacket and loved the styling of the Downtown. Only drawback is the lack of ventilation. But, major pro is it comes with shoulder and elbow protection.
What makes everything look more like a plastic bag!!
Leather jacket should have some sort of color!!
Burgundy, brown, white, white and black!!
Even green!
They need some color!
I'm 5´8" but my body reminds more about the guy in purple. I guess I should have L/XL. Probably XL. Tobad the sleeves will probably be to long.
With increasing amounts of stretch material in the shoulders and arms, you can still consider size L. -DrewZilla

It feels bad to see Joe being a mannequin...
You could've asked him to speak... Ask him how it feels or something to make him feel Human.
You are missing the point of this presentation format.
Joe is a mannequin. Mannequins can't speak.
Which Harley do they feature in the video?
It's an Iron 883 you can see lemmys series on modifying the think and his review on it

Hadrien Croubois I think it's an Alpinestar Celer Leather Jacket.
You are right, it is a Celer (v1) ... so it's a former model.
How come they dont make white jackets anymore ? You can find as much black as you want, with small accent of red/white, but appart from the Dainese Mugello suit no-one make white leather :/
Hadrien Croubois Probably the customers shifted towards black jackets, so the companies decided to follow the trend and stopped making white jackets.
There are already a million black jackets. Do they really need more "black" variety at the detriment of other colors ...
I guess I'll try to find a "design your own" service
Hadrien Croubois Yeah, it's probably better. Maybe check the Alpinestar Viper Ait jacket, it should come also in white, red and black.
What size for a 210lb 5’9 guy with about 45’’ chest
