hi….. i am a student on a tight buget. I am interested in buying a jackect i saw on leatherup.com (more specifically the “Men’s Advanced Armored Padded Black Motorcycle Jacket”) and is looking for info on these all leather x elements jackets, how’s the quality and stitching, is the armor in them good?

It is a great jacket overall. Liner is a bit thin but then again its a leather jacket.I rate it 9/10.

January 22, 2009 at 3:52 am #15888AtlusParticipanthow is the sizing on xelements? Im considering getting one but I’ve heard mixed things about the jackets running “small.” Im about 5’7 and 140 pounds and usually wear smalls…
January 22, 2009 at 1:05 pm #15905Sangria7ParticipantSizing run small so get one size larger than normal.

I bought the jacket in August, and even then, with the vents open, it was not too hot as long as you’re moving. With the liner in and a couple of thin layers under it, it’s been fine down to about 40 degrees, which I’ve decided is the limit for my hands. I second the comments about them running a little small, so try some jackets at your local shop before you order.

This one is a lil snug on me.. But I figured, better snug than too loose.. My next one I might get a lil bigger…
