Bought the black with red trim jacket. Very well constructed, excellent ventilation, and damn cool looking!!

Also, the customer service with STG is 2nd to none! Very helpful and accommodating with getting the right-sized jacket and the right jacket for my purposes. Can't say enough good things about the customer service..!!

Very comfy jacket

I previously had an a*s gpr perf. that i gave to my son and i outgrew (was getting tight). The quality of this jacket seems right there with the a*s. Im no expert in materials , but this jacket has had good reviews on bike forums too. Like the other reviews say, its a great jacket. It has been in the upper 80's and 90's here and this jacket does the job. Better cooling than the a*s too although i had chest protectors before that i dont have on this one. So, that could have restricted the airflow a little. . I orderd the black in a 54. Im 5'10 about 190. At first , i thought the bicep/shoulder area was tight. But after wearing it a few times, it is fine. I love that it comes with a liner and a level 2 back protector. The bp seems very soft and flexible which makes me wonder, but i guess its safety tested for impact. im just used to my hard bionic one that was in my other jacket. I also like the fact that its not so flashy with logos all over the place.What I dont like is the side pockets are just a touch too far back in my opinion but not a huge deal. Also, the armor seems to be harder to get to (not the bp which is easy). But, not like you have to go in there often.This jacket seems like great quality and is very comfortable. i highly recommend it.

HEAVEN!

Looks great, fits great, and top quality! The wind liner works well in cold weather :D

Great jacket for the money!

This is the first motorcycle jacket I have bought and it was a wonderful experience buying it from STG.

The Review:
1)Fit: 9/10 Fit on this jacket is perfect for me, I am 5'11 190lbs and this jacket in XXL fits me perfect. I am a bigger dude due to years of powerlifting and the problems i found with other jackets was that the fit was too tight or uncomfortable while seated on the bike.

2) Looks: 10/10 Looks are completely dependent on a individuals preference, but I bought this jacket in white and wow does it get attention. Very high visibility at night time as well due to the reflective material. Easily cleanable due to the high quality of leather used to make this jacket.

3) Quality: 10/10 Very high quality jacket I can see this lasting many seasons in the future.

Great jacket, poor marketing by RS TAICHI

Beautiful jacket with all bells and whistle one can expect from top company. Details are outstanding. Let's start from the top -
1. I didn't like Alpine or Dainese jackets because collars on them rubbed against my beautiful adam's apple :))) However, Arrow jacket's collar sits on the base of your neck with velcro strip placed below the collar, not at the top.
2. Protection in this jacket is absolutely top notch. Unlike my other jacket in which elbow guards slide up and down and left to right, in this jacket, they fit on your elbows and do not move. Shoulders and back are protected as they should be.
3. Jacket fits snuggly. So if you're size 42 US, order XL (52). Airflow is ok. I wore the jacket in 90 degrees and i felt fine (a few drops of sweat, but nothing major).
4. It has a lining inside. Not sure if it is for colder weather... i doubt that. Lining is very thin, similar to raincoat lining. So i assume it is to protect your body from getting soaked during rain. But then again, i am not sure about that either. It says it is for keeping you cool during warm days. I guess. If you take it out, it won't alter the fit of the jacket since it is super thin.
5. Good addition is velcroed buttons for additional chest protection.
6. Timely delivery and packaging by STG guys. Great job!

Here's one thing i didn't like -
I ordered black and red model. On all pictures, this jacket looks awesome with dark black color of leather blending with black elastic material in underarms and forearms, with distinguished red and white details. In reality, black leather is a shade lighter that elastic, more like matte black, and red and white details are not as sharp as on pictures. It absolutely does not make this jacket less impressive. However, it is deceiving. Either way, i am still extremely happy with the purchase (very expensive one), and if i could i would have given this jacket 7 stars out of 5.
