Best Powersports Protective Jackets of 2025

“I'm 5'10" and 180 lbs, and I ordered Large. It fits great, just like a regular hoodie. I was pleasantly surprised to find it came with the spine armor, even though it wasn’t supposed to. It’s a bit thin, so I wear base layers for colder weather, but it’s perfect for warmer temperatures. The armor is thick and covers large areas, and it’s hard to tell it’s armored at a glance. Soft and comfortable, with a large left inner pocket for essentials.”

“After using this hoodie for a month, even in the California heat, I'm satisfied. It breathes well, keeping me cool, but I wouldn’t rely on it for cold weather. I’m 5’10” and 165 lbs, and the Large fits like a regular hoodie. The pads are thick but don’t look bulky, and it came with the back pad, which was a pleasant surprise. Affordable safety gear that I’d recommend.”

“I ordered a Large, and it fits comfortably like any other hoodie. I love that it came with the back pad! All the pads are in velcro pockets, making them removable for washing. It fits snugly under my Large denim riding vest. The media pocket just fits my Samsung Galaxy with a case, and it’s ideal for warm to cool weather. 10/10 would buy again!”

“I find this product to be amazing! However, I recommend going one or two sizes up if you usually get a medium.”

“This armor is great! It meets my expectations and feels comfortable to wear.”

“I absolutely love this jacket! It feels like I’m embodying Heath Ledger in A Knight's Tale every time I wear it.”

"I really like this jacket. The fit is great, and it has plenty of pockets. The inner waterproof liner is comfortable and perfect for spring and fall, though it's not a winter jacket."

"I've had this jacket for a week, and so far, it's really good. It fits well, though it's a bit shorter than I expected. Great for warm weather but not for anything under 60 degrees."

"The stitching on this coat is horrible. Both pockets lost their bottoms, and the liner is the wrong size. It's incredibly tight with the liner on. I won't buy this coat again."

"As a punk from the 70's and 80's, I always wanted a biker jacket like this. Now at age 60, I finally bought it. I'm SO glad I did! It quickly became my favorite jacket - heavy, comfortable, and warm. The quality is amazing for the price, with top-notch hardware and leather. I get compliments every time I wear it. It's worth every penny!"

"I'm 6'2” and 215lbs, and went for a 2XL. The jacket looks and feels great, but I had to fix the epaulet and there was a small hole in the pocket lining. Overall, the leather is soft and durable, making it a comfortable choice."

"I was hesitant about the price but took a chance and I'm glad I did! The sizes are true, the leather is soft and strong, and the removable liner is a great perk. If you're looking for a fantastic biker jacket, I recommend you BUY THIS NOW!"

"I find this jacket to be a quality product for the price. At 5'9” and 175 lbs, I purchased a medium, and it fits perfectly. The jacket is comfortable and offers decent protection. It's kept me warm in the high 40s, and I feel confident maneuvering on the road. After multiple rides, I'm still satisfied with its performance. However, it isn't ideal for warmer weather."

"Upon receiving this jacket, I was impressed by the construction and features. I had to return a large for a medium, and now it fits great. I appreciate the removable safety pads which allow me to upgrade them if needed. Overall, I think this jacket is a solid bargain."

"I haven't used this jacket in the rain yet, but it seems to be a fantastic value. At 5'9" and with a 42 chest, the medium fits me just right, even with the liner in. I love the velcro adjustments at the waist and how the back extends lower for added coverage. The build quality appears to be excellent for the price."

"I was surprised by the quality and workmanship of this motorcycle jacket. It looks amazing and is true to size. I'm 5'9” and 155 lbs, and the medium size fits perfectly, even with a sweatshirt underneath. Don't look any further... this is the one... I love it!!!"

"This is my second Milwaukee leather jacket. I got this one for my son, who has just started riding. These jackets provide ultimate protection against wind, bugs, and rocks. In the event of an accident, I believe they will offer great protection with the removable padding. They are heavily made and of very high quality. They keep you warm while allowing for breathability. You can't beat them for the money!"

"I ordered a size larger as suggested in another post. It fits well now; it was a bit stiff when I first got it, but 20 minutes in the dryer helped. It's comfortable with a zip-out layer for warmer days, and it has many vents and pockets. I am glad I bought it!"

“I absolutely love this jacket! It's fantastic, and even if it were double the price, I would still consider it a great deal. It fits perfectly, offers excellent protection, and has ample pockets. The durable fabric and warm zip-out lining are fantastic features. I feel safe and stylish while riding, and I’m planning to buy a few more for my friends!”

“I’m really impressed with the quality of this jacket. It fits perfectly with or without the armor, and the price is significantly lower than other big-name brands. The only thing I noticed is that the zipper is on the left side, which is different for me, but I’m getting used to it. The multiple pockets and ventilation options are a great bonus!”

“This jacket has quickly become one of my favorites among the various ones I own. The quality is impressive for the price, and it repels wind effectively. I wish it were a tad snugger on the sides, but the bottom velcro straps help with that. Overall, it performs excellently without flapping in the wind, and I’m very happy with my choice.”

"I love the retro look with the orange and olive striping. The combination of leather and cordura is great. I usually wear a Large jacket but opted for X-Large based on reviews, which was wise since there are multiple adjustments for fit. As a first-time rider, this jacket has everything I need at a reasonable price. The zippered vents keep me comfortable even in the 80s, and the zip-in liner works well for colder rides."

"In South Texas, I started riding at 60 degrees without the liner, and the ventilation is fantastic. I didn’t realize how warm the jacket was until I took it off—I was drenched! But I still loved wearing it. I can’t wait for chillier days. Oh, and I think it looked pretty good too; a lot of strangers approached me just to chat."

"This jacket is awesome for the price and the value. It features a nice zip-out liner and lots of vents for warm days. It’s really comfortable and has become my go-to jacket for riding. The sizing was just perfect for me."

"I'm replacing my Alpine Stars jacket with this one. For the price, it's honestly really nice! It has an inner liner and armor pads. No visible signs of wear after a crash doing wheelies!"

"I'm really impressed with the high-quality materials and stitching. The fit is excellent, but the pocket placement is a bit awkward for me."

"I absolutely love this jacket. Thick but lightweight fabric, and the adjustments make it fit perfectly. Great value for the price!"

"I found the quality really good for the price. This XXL jacket fits correctly in terms of sleeve length and chest size. The YKK zippers are robust, and the quilted lining should keep me warm. Just be aware that the forearms are snug even with the cuffs unzipped."

"I'm 6'0 and 180 pounds, and the fit is just perfect. The quality leather feels great, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase."

"I bought this leather coat for my husband, and it looks and feels great! Highly recommend it, especially since I saw the same one for $500 in stores."
