BORLEN Motorcycle Jacket for Men with Armor CE Certified Riding Jacket

I ride a Yamaha Super Ténéré and I’ve been very impressed with this jacket for the price. The material feels durable and well made, especially considering the cost. The shoulder and elbow armor are thick and provide solid protection, while still being flexible and comfortable to wear. The back protector is fairly thin, but it’s still better than having no protection at all. For sizing reference, I’m 6’3” and 190 lbs. I normally wear a size Large in shirts and jackets, but after reading other reviews, I decided to order an XL. I’m glad I did because the fit is perfect. I’ve tried on some of the premium motorcycle jackets that cost $500 or more, and honestly, I feel this jacket offers very similar protection for a fraction of the price. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this purchase and would definitely buy this jacket again.

This is a jacket I really wanted to keep and like. Right out of the box, the styling looks great. I was also initially impressed by the shoulder and elbow armor, which felt much more substantial than the cheap inserts that came with two other budget jackets I tried. However, you will still want to 100% replace the factory back protector right away, as it is just a basic foam pad with zero actual safety certification. For sizing reference, I am 5'10", 210 lbs, with a 44" chest, and the XL size fit me perfectly. My main concern with this jacket is the complete lack of ventilation. Testing it during the cooler spring months here in PA, it felt plenty warm with the thermal liner installed. However, because it doesn't feature any zippered vents, I worried it would quickly turn into an oven as the weather started warming up. I ultimately chose the HWK Scorpion jacket over this one for cooler weather because the HWK offers vent options to stretch its use into mid-range temperatures. For the hotter summer months, I ended up buying a dedicated BYKR mesh jacket anyway. If this Borleni jacket had built-in vents, I'm pretty sure it would have been my top choice. If you are specifically looking for a sharp-looking riding jacket to use exclusively during the cooler and colder months, this is a highly viable and comfortable option. I would just suggest upgrading the armor—especially that back pad—to a legitimate CE Level 1 or 2 protector from RevZilla for $70-$90 to ensure you are actually protected.

This is a great jacket, especially at the price. It's heavyweight, waterproof, and pretty comfortable considering it's built like a tank. The zippers are very high quality. Every bit of this jacket is very high quality. I was surprised when I received it just how heavy it was. Assuming I keep my wheels on the road, this will last for years - and if I don't, it's a small price to pay for the protection it provides. The shoulders, back, and elbows have good protection. You have the option to upgrade the pads to increase protection, but since I'm on an e-bike that won't exceed 30 MPH, I think the protection it provides is more than sufficient. The fabric alone provides a great deal of protection. I would size up. I would normally take a large, but it was too small once I put the pads in. I exchanged it for an XL and it fits perfectly, especially since it has Velcro straps at the waist that allow you to sinch it tighter around that area and prevent any wind from getting in. This jacket really is a tremendous value and great quality. I can't recommend it enough. I do wish they had the matching pants. You CAN get matching pants (with a different brand name, but obviously the same manufacturer) through other sites - you know the ones that take a couple of weeks to get an order. I do wish they had them her under this brand name. But it doesn't take away from the excellence of this jacket.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and weight of this jacket. Just got a new bike (at 74 yrs old) and this jacket gives me a lot of confidence. The slip-in and zip protectors are first quality, the fit is perfect, it looks great, has all the zips you need, and I'll be trying it out here in AZ, as soon as we drop under 100 degrees! Took out the lining first thing, getting ready to ride! 😁

I normally wear xl shirts so I ordered the xxl jacket. To my surprise it was still too tight in the shoulders, I returned the xxl and got the 3xl. Perfect fit. It’s very good quality. Zippers and material are high quality. I live in Florida and it’s 99 outside. Tried it on on and was sweating. Should work great for mild Florida winters. I love IronJias products. I have gloves and motorcycle boot from them and love all their products so far. Get this jacket.

very nice jacket. it is a slight bit course on the inside if the insulation liner is removed. The liner zips in and out very well. it is also secured at the sleeve ends with snaps keeping the sleeve in place taking the jacket on and off. The adjustment straps on the elbow pads work well to keep the pads in place. I see no issues of defects with the stitching. I have had several compliments on the jacket. The color does not quite match the Suzuki 8TT in green but it is close. The only down side I see is there are not sipper air vents for the chest.

Mi sembra di buona fattura solo che non è impermeabile per il resto tutt'ok

Missing the 5 protective parts

Just received the jacket. First impressions ... perfect fit, Nice looking, seems to be what I expected it to be. Putting the protection pads for schoulders and elbows was easy, the back foam plate was a bit tricky as it doesn't just slide in and the fitting pouch is just a little narrow, but once in place all ok. The zipper for the inner lining is not that great and I wouldn't use it much, so be careful while using it. It nice you can adjust the arm tightness, the waste band and pols openings. The side pockets are not really well placed for easy access. The removable pads for elbows and shoulders are nice thick and shock absorbed. The back plate (foam) could have been thicker. (I would place a thicker one or same but double, but due to the close fit of the pocket that will not be possible. ) It's Thursday today and hope to test it out this weekend. Oh, by the way, it's to ridecmy EUC, not a motorcycle ;-)

La Chaqueta muy bien, es de cordura. Tiene un diseño muy chulo, y trae las protecciones para ponérselas a parte. Queda pegadita y te quita todo el viento y la tela es dura. La recomiendo!!! Esta bien de precio relación calidad.

Excelente producto
