Exactly what a motorcycle jack should be

Adam - 1/22/2013

This jacket is excellent everything about it is spot on! First off the cut it fits like a well tailored glove, it fits so well I wear it as a casual jacket. It's extremely light wieght but it kept me from freezing to death on a 20 degree ride through virgina. The liner is something between the softness of a baby blanket and the warmth of insulation. The long arms are more of a blessing believe me I would not conisider them a negative whatsoever. Order true to size unless your on the hefty side go a size larger.

Ncie jacket

I've had this jacket for almost 2 years now--its exceptionally built, fits great, and i even wear it around town when im not riding. The jacket size I purchased is 40, and could probably go a size smaller. Definately worth the money--check out a video i made here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGryS6BDIm8

Very Nice!

Got my jacket today and have to say I think it is spot on. Glad I sized up after reading some of the other reviews. Only one problem...not use to zipping from the other side...it,ll take a little getting use to. Other than that...the jacket is well worth the price...absolutely!

Excellent jacket oh so close to perfect

Dave - 9/19/2012

All the raves are deserved, the Montana is a great jacket.

However, it's not perfect.

-- I'm close to a 40 regular, bought the 42, definitely size up.

-- Wearing the jacket while standing is fine, leaning forward on the bike is fine, but sitting upright ala standard/cruiser seating, the arms fit a little high and tight beneath the armpits. Could use an extra half inch or so of room there and it'd be perfect.

-- The velcro opening to the pocket for the back armor is too narrow, it's impossible to easily insert/remove the Knox back armor, you have to fold the armor and even then you're stretching that opening to the tear limit. The opening could stand to be a couple inches wider, perhaps the entire width of the armor pocket.

Not a problem if you're going to leave the armor in or out all the time, but if you're like me and would like to wear the jacket casually (it's that nice!), swapping the back armor in and out is too much of a pain (the shoulder/elbow armor are easy as pie).

-- For some inexplicable reason the side belts face forward instead of backwards, the lines would be much cleaner IMO if they faced backwards (not to mention, that way your sleeves wouldn't catch on the straps when you walk).

-- The interior cell phone pocket could be a bit bigger with a larger zipper pull

-- The pants connector zipper faces the wrong way for American riding pants

Anyway, if it sounds like I'm being too critical-- perhaps I am. It's a great jacket, I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy again, it's just a few steps short of perfection.

Awesome Jacket

Jules - 7/23/2012

Received the Jacket today. Really quick delivery. 5 business days to Canada. Great service. The jacket is oh so soft and looks amazing. Yep it is kind of half way between black and brown but this only adds to the appeal. I measure as 44 but ordered the 46 so I could use it with the back armour. Perfect fit!

Thanks!!

Excellent jacket!

David Brancheau - 5/13/2012

This jacket is amazing. It looks good, I received a lot of compliments and the rich leather scent adds to its charm.
The fit is really good. My chest is about 42 but I sized up and got the 44. Every motorcycle garment I've purchased I've had to do this... It is a bit snug with the back armor but not uncomfortable. The sleeves are a bit long but they are perfect while riding. It's not a cold weather jacket, but I've already rode in mid 80 degree weather and it is pretty well ventilated. The Montana jacket is a good spring/fall weight jacket and summer if you just want to look cool.

Great jacket!

Great Value Great Looking Jacket

James - 5/2/2012

OK just got my jacket, initial feelings without being on the bike yet(horrible weather today)
Leather is very good quality at that price.Smells amazing! It looks well made throughout.
Its fits pretty well perfect with the cuff length with outstretched arms at the exact length it should be.

Could not buy a jacket at this price with this quality and stylish looks here in Australia.
Will post another review once on the bike.
So far very satisfied.

Fit is perfect, measure with tape before you buy.

RedSoxFan - 3/29/2012

First thing; I measured my chest to be 46" exact. So of course I hesitated to order the 46 jacket for fear of a too snug fit. Not a problem, once you reach for the bars its fits better than while standing upright. The 46 fits a little snug around the chest off the bike, but once on the bike its perfect. Does not ride up, and feels comfortable where it should. The armor provides piece of mind, and looks tough too. highly recommend. Is say this jacket works best for a cruiser style bike, as well as a cafe or classic style. Probably a bit to old school for something like a modern sport bike.

My Bonneville Lass

Stephen Brashear - 3/8/2012

I purchased this coat a month before I ever got the bike. From the moment removed it from the box to the moment it landed on my shoulders, I knew it was exactly the leather for me! Instantly, I had two gorgeous roommates hanging on me sniffing and feeing the leather. Thanks BMG!

Luscious leather

Cylon rider - 2/12/2012

This is a beautiful jacket. The leather has a rich color which is primarily black but with a touch of brown. It feels soft and supple out of the box. The size 38 i ordered was true to size, but the sleeves are very long. (I wear a 15-1/2" shirt w/ a 32" sleeve). For a stretched out cafe racer position, the sleeve length might work, but I will need to have these shortened about an inch, hence I deduct 1 star from my rating.

Great Jacket

Paul C - 1/31/2012

This is a great jacket. I purchased it last month at the motorcycle show and I love it. It looks great, is made with great quality materials and workmanship, and is well worth the price!

Great jacket, good value

Lunchbag - 9/4/2011

This is a great motorcycle jacket. I ordered mine two years ago and love it. I went a size up and it fit right the first try. Color is nice, much better than the ubiquitous black jacket. Quality is clear throughout. Worth the relatively high price. Very comfortable. Works well in cool to warm weather by adding/removing liner and zipping/unzipping vent pockets. I got the back armor, which is the only armor really noticible when all are inserted. Great piece of gear! I doubt I will ever buy another jacket.
