Just received this jacket this afternoon. I cannot wait to wear it when the season restarts. It looks just like the picture. The inside is lined with red and the red piping on the outside is a really nice red not an orange red. Extremely happy with the looks of this jacket.
THIS IS MY SECOND ONE! Why? Because I heard Joe Rocket is discontinuing this colour scheme and because I love this jacket SO much that I need a spare for when this one eventually wears out or just to wear when I am cleaning the first one. I’ve worn my Aurora jacket from April to mid October - through 30C+ days to 7C days. Depending on what I wear beneath it and how I manage the vent zippers, I have always been comfortable. The white/black/red is so good looking and very visible. I have no idea why they would keep the grey or black versions that helps us be invisible to motorists and discontinue this one. I get so many compliments on it. It is really beautiful while having serious armour protection for shoulders, elbows and spine. Yes, skill helps keep us be safe out there. So does the amount of protection built into every Aurora jacket and dark colours are best to hide the dirt but, by extension, the motorcyclist on a backdrop of an asphalt road surface. I ordered a size down from the measurements for a medium which I recommend if you, like me, are close to the lower end measurements. The small fits me perfectly and has room for layers underneath on colder days and lots of air flow on hot days with only a t-shirt underneath. I am 5’6” and 125 pounds. I have a blue leather motorcycle jacket but I feel much safer in this one which boosts confidence. Bottom line, GREAT jacket!
I've had this jacket for a few years now and its an excellent all-round jacket to add to the collection! The material has proven itself to not only be comfortable but also durable and hasn't aged a day. The high quality is evident from the protective armour, to the stitching, to the zippers, you name it. It's functional with many pockets and vents which can be easily opened and closed for warmer and cooler weather. They also added adjustable bands on either side of the waist for custom adjustments according to your preferred size and fit which is a bonus when looking for fitted women's gear! Great jacket :)
it was awesome....I purchased the jacket and absolutely love it
I haven't used it much yet but so far this jacket seems comfortable. My only wish was that it came in XS Tall. I need the Tall for the length but the Small is a little bit on the big side for me (5'9" and 140# with a small frame). It does seem to run quite big.
