Raider - Men's Motorcycle Biker Riding Leather Jacket

Very nice riding jacket! Love the color and the quality of the leather! This jacket has lots of pockets including two (one on each side) for concealed carry. I wanted a jacket that would protect me on the bike and also look good when I am off the bike. This jacket meets my requirements as I love the looks and the leather would provide good protection against road rash. This jacket does not have any CE armor so it’s protection is limited to the strength of the leather, which works for me as the jacket is made for motorcycle enthusiasts and has the features I was looking for. The jacket comes with a zip out liner which is a good thing as this jacket is best for warm to cool riding (not hot or cold) as it has zippered vents front and back (limited effect as the vents are small). The jacket fits good as I ordered a large (I am 6’ and 185lb) but the one complaint I would have is that in the riding position the sleeves are about an inch short for me. I have a 36” arm length so not unusual, and being motorcycle specific I am surprised this is even an issue. I like the jacket enough that I will overlook that issue and just wear gauntlet type gloves if I want to cover all of exposed skin at the wrist while riding. Looks good on and off the bike!

This jacket is great can't say one thing bad. The leather is thick but soft lays on you like a second skin. Large good zippers. The stitching is perfect. The fit is good. They really did a good job. This is my fourth leather jacket and by far my favorite.

So far I like the jacket. Haven’t ridden with it much in the summer months. I do like the vents and pockets for CHL holders.

This is a well made jacket. Sizing. I’m a 44L. The 2XL is slightly oversized without the liner and armor. With it, it’s a loose fit. The collar is bigger than I’d like like not not terrible. I wish I had gone one size down.

I just got this jacket so I'm not reviewing how well it holds up. I am reviewing its out of the box fit as well as its break in fit. I wear an extra large in everything. XL always fits me perfectly. This jacket fits me perfectly. Yes, a brand new leather jacket with a lining is going to feel a bit snug to begin with, especially if you try and wear a flannel or a hoodie too. But that's new. This leather relaxes pretty quickly and starts to feel much more comfortable. Leather jackets (and vests) stretch over time from use, and wearing layers, and wind, and putting things in the pockets, and and and. If you wear different sizes in different shirts and coats I have no advice for you. If you always wear a particular size like me, get that one. If you're heavy, you might look at a different style. This one is definitely a rather athletic cut The leather is soft and supple right out of the box, and smells exactly like a leather jacket smells when new. My only gripe so far is that there are TOO MANY POCKETS. I can't find things. I can't even feel some of them. The chest pockets (3 stacked) go pretty deep and it's a long reach if you drop something small in them. Don't forget which one you put your keys in. It'll be 15 minutes before you find them. I'm still discovering new pockets I didn't know were there. I'm half joking but seriously, I think they could drop the number of pockets by half and you'd still have too many.

I noticed someone commented previously that they had received a different jacket that looked similar to the original; it had me weary of buying it but I pulled the trigger. I did get the original jacket from First Manufacturing and couldn’t be happier with it. It was heavier than expected but once on, the weight goes away. I rode today under overcast weather and 56 degrees Fahrenheit at higher than 70mph with only a tshirt and the jacket on. Needless to say I was perfectly warm. A heavy sweater underneath will probably not fit me as the jacket fits true to size. However, a thin fleece hoodie underneath fits really well. I have not tried it with armor yet. It’s a really comfortable jacket right out of the box and doesn’t need much breaking in. The bottom button does not close for me while sitting on the bike (I do not need it to) but does close while standing. I must add I am fit and have an athletic build mid section. I contemplated returning for a medium but the arm length is perfect for me on the small. My measurements: 5’6” 150lbs 36inch chest. The chest area does fit a bit loose compared to waist but it works in my favor when I have the thin fleece hoodie and I’m in riding position. Looking forward to more rides with this jacket! Do not hesitate and buy already!

Great jacket. I’m 6’1” and 225 lbs, wear size 38 jeans and 46 Long suit. The XL fits perfectly even around my beer gut. At first it was a bit snug around my hips but after break-in time it fits great. Sleeve length is okay when stretched out on the bike. Liner is a bit thin so I will wear the thermal liner from my military field jacket on cooler days. I’m not sure if I could get a thick hoodie on under this and get it zipped all the way up. There’s a ton of storage in this jacket. I can carry riding gloves on one side of my chest and an extra pair of glasses on the other side without a huge bulge in the profile. Not to mention that I have my cell phone, wallet and smokes stashed away too. The leather is soft and thick but not stiff like you would expect in a brand new jacket. For the price you really can’t find a better deal. In my opinion this is equal quality and warmth of a Harley jacket for 1/3 the price. Fast shipping and packaged flat instead of folded up or rolled. 10/10 would recommend.

This jacket is great. Super heavy and and high quality. I thought the million pockets was overkill at first but they are actually really useful, I just used this on a 3200km trip and all the pockets made my life easy. Everything had a place and was secure. Zippers are excellent and easy to use, the snaps are quality and stay done up. Has pockets for shoulder armour. A couple of small things - the Velcro on one of the inside pockets is coming off, not a big deal and guys with long arms - this isn’t the jacket for you. Solid 4.5 stars.

Great leather jacket. Reminds me of my youth.

Una chamarra excelente tiene un montón de bolsas, la piel es gruesa y en general toda se siente de buena calidad. Viene muy ajustada de la cintura y pecho así que si estás un poco pasado de peso considera otra.

Je me le suis fait voler mais il était petit même si Jai respecter la charte

Good quality leather with a removable inner. Will be very comfortable for motorcycle riding. I am 5,11 1/2, 185 pounds and the jacket fits perfectly.
