I fussed over buying a summer jacket for almost a year. All the typical mesh summer jackets are super ugly and covered in branded logos. Not my thing. This jacket is perfect. Looks great, high quality, and very light. Comfortable as soon as you put it on.

Also - great customer service at BMG!

Very nice Jacket with a flaw

Cbolling - 2/25/2012

I bought this jacket Directly from BMG at one of the 2011 Motorcycle Shows. 1 year later I still love it. The only problem is that the edges of the collar and cuffs are very stiff and rough. I wish that they were a bit softer for more comfort.

that being said, I still wear this jacket everytime I get on the bike.

And yes, I would buy another one if something happened to this one!

nice, but not completely dry

i bought this jacket in anticipation for the summer riding season. I have worn this jacket in the 100+ degree heat and it is comfortable down to around 60 at night.

The jacket fits great as i am tall and skinny 6'3 170, i have long arms and the sleeves fit very well. It is also cut for a skinny person.

The only gripe i have with this jacket is it says that it is waterproof. I have worn this jacket in sevral rain storms and it is not waterproof......well the fabric maybe, but the zipper that runs down your bicep leaks like a siv. This causes the water to run down you arm and out the end of the sleeve. Not very comfortable if you are riding great distances. It is a great vent when it is hot, but not so good when it is raining.

As long as you don't get caught in the rain this is an excellent jacket!

Great for Texas heat

I am loving this jacket. My only request is that BMG would make one in silver or black with orange so I can match my orange BMW. My husband has the black/yellow and it looks sharp with his black yellow BMW. (I may ride with the guys but fashion counts!). I have noticed when riding at night the reflective piping is bright. Price is outstanding.

Excellent jacket

DH in Texas - 12/12/2010

I bought my Zodiac jacket in Spring of 2004 and have over 40,000 miles with it- most without a windshield. It is still in good shape and is my favorite riding jacket for warm/cool weather. With thermals and sweater under it, I can ride in temps down to mid/low 50 degrees. It is not waterproof, but it is excellent at it's intended use.

Found it again!!

Patrick Croasdale - 7/18/2010

I purchased this jacket way back in 2002 and rode with it almost all the time until this riding season of 2010. The yellow on the sleeves had started to fade, I crash tested it once and some of the leather zipper pulls started to come off. So I decided to buy a new one. Unfortunatly I couldn't find it anywhere and was forced to buy something else. But here I am, and here it is so off with the new and on with the new'er! I am so glad to have found this jacket again. I would go as far as to say this is the best all around jacket I have ever owned...again!

Great airflow

David in Penticton - 5/15/2010

Okanagan heat is beat with this jacket when moving because of the arm, chest and back openings. A lighter colour would help when not moving, as the black does retain the sun's heat. It's very light and I like the fact the material is more durable than regular mesh. I added the extra back protection. The fit is perfect.

Yeh...

Don't buy any other jacket. The quality of this jacket is unmatched!! Looks like it's too hot for summer but it's not! Awesome looking enough for crotch rocket riders to cruisers. Looks masculine not like a pretty boy type jacket. Buy one.. NOW!!!

Zodiac Jacket

Steve in Georgia, USA - 1/15/2010

The Zodiac is now my favorite riding jacket for moderate to warm temperatures. Especially like the full comfortable cut and extra vents. Great product.

Great jacket worth having

ANelson - 1/13/2010

I bought this jacket about 2 years ago from BMG after reading the review at Webbikeworld. It is everything I could want in hot to moderate weather for this type of jacket. Fit is good , very comfortable and light weight. When weather gets a tad bit colder I just wear more underneath it. Only negative is the metal snaps and other pieces on the jacket...they have gotten rusty...but that's primarily due to the fact I live at the beach.

I can definitely recommend this jacket to anyone wanting a good light jacket that is multi-practical!

Great for the Majove Desert

Mike - 6/26/2009

I received my jacket a couple of days ago and I have to say it is all I had hoped for. I have never had a better warm weather jacket with as much protection. I live in the Mojave desert and as you can imagine it gets hot here although the humidity is low. The mesh jackets let to much air in and you end up roasting like sitting in a convection oven. This Zodiac vent system lets you control the amount of intake air and works much better than a mesh. One final thing, I ride a S2R monster and even at elevated speed the jacket does not "Flap". Nicely done..

Mike
