Awesome jacket - Juan M NC
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Removable inner liner, air vents, shoulders & elbows protection
Cons: [None]
I've try this jacket for 2 months now in both cold and now some 70's degree weather. Amazing how it has been working, easy to open or close air vents to choose how much air you want. Great shoulder & elbow protection. Amazing bang for the buck
Great Jacket - VanD
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: well made, looks great
Cons: Velcro at the wrist doesn't line up,
I got this jacket in 2008 its now 2013 with my first bike. It is very well made and the leather is very good quality. It has held up exceptionally well and kept me pretty much unscathed through two spills. I keep it clean and take care of it and it still looks new. It looks classy yet bad a and stands apart from other jackets. It has good wind protection and doesnt start catch much wind till about 85 and if youre not tucking in after 100 it will through you around a little. Im 57 and was 130lbs when I got it, now Im 145lbs and the small still fits nicely. I wear it most of the year and even during most of the summer in FL and GA. It is very well ventilated and as long as you are moving you will keep cool. In the winter with the liner in it fits snug and keeps you pretty warm. The only place air gets in from is the neck area but its that way with every jacket. I would strongly recommend this jacket and have half a mind to buy a spare.
Nice Jacket - Rider TX
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Looks good and feels solid. Vents seems to work well. Comfortable.
Cons: Arms are a little tight when adding layers.
I am 5'7 around 180 pounds and the large fits me well. I like the look and feel and it zips to my recently acquired Decker pants easily. I'm not sure how strong the material is that the zipper is attached to on the jacket, but it is comfortable to wear with the leather pants. I bought it for use in cooler weather. Should be pretty warm with thermals and wool if necessary. The included liner may be used without the sleeves.
Coaster II Leather - ZenAngel13
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Good Fit, Wind Resistant, Waterproof, Easy Liner InstallRemoval
Cons: Really can't think of any
I had a Joe Rocket Meteor 2.0 Textile jacket for about 6 years, through wear and tear, the seams started splitting, the pads and armor felt a little worn out and flat, the liner was trashed as were the vents, and the zippers were falling off. So I thought I should get a new jacket now, versus getting in trouble and wishing I'd replaced it sooner...I bought the Coaster II jacket at the beginning of the 2012 season, and rode it all summer rain, wind, heat and now it's starting to get a little cold out low 40s at night, 60s during the day. I'm a big fan of this jacket. Removal and installation of the liner is easy, and the sleeves can be removed separately from the torso. The liner is super soft and comfy, and with the pockets open which all double as vents with mesh interior linings a small amount of air can be let through that keeps you cool but not cold during the early autumn. Summer riding was good, with the vents open and liner out you'd think the jacket was mesh, it breathes like a dream. I also rode home in the low 40 degree weather a few nights ago and the jacket kept most of the wind out and mostly warm vents were all shut, liner was still out, wind came in through the front neck area. I rode today with high 40s to low 50s degree temperature and the liner was installed. It was plenty warm and totally worth the buy. The armor also fits well and is placed perfectly. The shoulders and elbows are curved nicely for my riding position 6'2, 235 lbs, '07 SV650S, and the back protector is soft enough to move with you without notice, but still tough enough to take a good fall leaving that to someone else to try, I like my jacketbikeself too much to test lol. Overall, I give it five stars. Perfect for everything but winter riding, and the only thing wrong with my new jacket is that one of the velcro pieces on the sleeve cuff has come slightly unstitched, but that was my fault for trying to rip the jacket off quickly spider in my helmet, I tend to freak out. If you're on a budget like me, BUY THIS JACKET You'll never want to wear another one. Hands down best money I've spent on riding gear
I like it
The jacket fits like a glove. Ordered just what the size chart said and it couldn't fit better without being too small. awesome wind protection and with the liner in i usually run wit a couple vents open in 55 degree weather! I will probably need to buy a mesh jacket for the muggy MO summer months but on the 85 degree day that I had this on, when moving , with no liner and the vents open, I was very comfortable. I haven't crash tested it yet but I can tell you that I feel that this has me protected, if I ever do, about as good as a jacket can.
1 word AWSOME!!!!!!!!
THE SIZE IS DEAD ON, I GOT A LARGE AND IT FITS SNUGG.
IT WILL FIT PERFECT AFTER ITS BROKE IN. EXCELLENT QUALITY,MUCH BETTER THAN ANY 400- 500 JACKET, ITS LOADED WITH FEATURES,AND I LOOK FRICKIN SEXY TOO!
STYLE GOOD QUALITY FAIR - Bandit Greg

Pros: [None]
Cons: [None]
I like the style of this jacket... have worn it for three months. PROS armor is in the right place and unobtrusive.. style and color great for me leather is thick enough... venting is adequate and versatile for a full leather jacket. Price is good.CONS The shoulder stitching was wrong, and the action back spread out too far on me, causing heavy FLAPPING at higher speeds..often fairly violent. I paiid 20 to a shoe shop to stitch the action-flaps down.. which fixed that, but the shoulder still has too much material and rides a little funny. There is NO COLLAR.. bugs will strike your neck, and it might get cold without a mandarin collar. I would have preferred a SHINY finish, as the 'flat finish collects dirt and bug stains. The liner is mesh, which is okay but trying to pull a wallet or something out of a pocket can be difficult, especially when moving.Still, I like this jacket. I'll be using it this weekend for a long sport-tour. It's a decent piece of armored leather at a cheap price.. and the style mine is black and white fits my bikehelmet colors nicely. Just check the shoulder fit when you receive it, before you remove all the tags.

This jacket is very comfortable and fits well. I've had this jacket for a couple years now and have worn it quite often. It is a little too warm for summer riding, even with the vents open. It is great on cool days, 50 deg, even without the liner. On the down side the white leather is wearing off and the black shows through. Also the grip for the front zipper broke within the first year. I was able to attach a small leather tag to it so that it is still usable. All in all it is a decent jacket for the price.
