Buy XL over One size
I am 172cm 69kg and I bought one size up XL after much consideration. The imprementation is a comparison with size L. First of all, the L fits almost perfectly. If you wear it as it is, the L is smart, stylish, and nice. However, when I tried on the XL, it was just as OK. It is exactly one size too big, a little bit loose, but not to the point where it feels weird. If you wear a Comine chest and back protector inside, the XL is definitely better. I was able to avoid pigeon chest. Also, with the L, my back would stick out when I leaned forward, but the XL seems to work fine. In the picture, it looks the same in L or XL, but in reality it is definitely different, and yet not too different, which is exquisite. Even though it is one size larger, the fabric is firm, so I don't think it will flap around at street level speeds. View detail
best in spring and autumn
I was looking for a new winter coat, and I considered T-GP and S-TP, and tried them on, but they were very tight when I put on Inner and bent my arms or rode in a riding position, so I decided not to buy them. On the other hand, this SMX has moderate elasticity and I decided to buy it immediately. The Velcro around the neck is a minus point, but it is one of the products I am glad I bought. View detail
The colors are different, so it's better to check the actual product.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The color in the photo was a little brown, but the actual product was a little stronger in green.

Stylish.
The texture is as expected from Alpinestars. As the product name says "Asia", the size is just right for Japan. 172cm, 69kg, L size is almost JUST right for me.
The design is good and you will feel comfortable even if you wear it in the city. It looks Casual, but it is not suitable for midsummer because it is thick like a Riding jacket. I think it can cover from a slightly cooler season to a warmer season.
The shoulder and elbow protectors are soft, but the chest and spine protector are sold separately, so I tried Komine's chest spine protector (su Pulley Body) on inside. It is possible to wear it when riding, but it is too pigeon breasted. It is still better to use a special Protector because it is not suitable for walking in the city.
I was a little concerned about the back of the jacket when I leaned forward compared to a typical Riding jacket.
In any case, I think Alpinestars have a parenthesis quality that Japanese riding jackets, which are inevitably more geeky, do not have, and I like them very much. It is indeed Italy.

Stylish! But functional!
It is so fashionable that it is hard to believe that it is a riders jacket.
The inside chest pocket has a waterproof zip& and is wide and functional. The front chest pocket is small and might be better to be considered as a decoration.

having thin arms
The arms are thin when matched to Waist and Bust.
Thick fleece or down will be too tight.
In spring and fall, InnerDown only, with temperature control. Midwinter is impossible.

BatesNylonParka
This is the first time I have purchased a product from Bates.
I was looking for a Jacket for fall/winter and found a Sale item and was torn between size L or M. I decided on L based on the size chart.
My Size is 165 cm tall and 60 pounds, and I am a skinny guy.
It is a little too large, but it does not interfere with motorcycle riding.

Lightweight and waterproof
I chose size XL to wear over a L size Jacket, and it is just right without any tightness or flapping.
Design was not bad for Rough & Road, if anything it was good and I liked it, so I bought it.
JacketBody is lightweight, so I will use GunGun as a windproof and waterproof jacket all year round.
I actually got rained on for about 3 hours and the inside of the Jacket did not flood, but the Pocket under the Left was flooded, so you might not want to put anything in there that you don't want to get wet.
I think it would be tough to use it alone in mid-summer or mid-winter. In summer, it can be used when it rains. In winter, it would be better to wear Inner and Jacket, and put on this Jacket at the end.
The sewing is a little delicate in places, but nothing fatal, so I guess it's okay.
The balibali at the neck came in contact with the chin curtain of the helmet and frayed slightly, but this would not have been a problem if we had checked where it would hit beforehand and dealt with the problem Level.
There are adjustable belts to prevent flapping in places, so the fit can be adjusted to suit you.
Generally satisfied with Large

for winter use
I was looking for a winter Jacket in Large size.
I bought it because there was a Large size left at the time of purchase.
Black HONDA embroidery in Black on Black front and back is good.
The HRC Logo on the back and chest would also stand out.
The removable Winter Inner is also warm and easy to use.

It's a little gaudy, but I'm satisfied.
[How did you feel about the Fit?
I am 174cm, 65kg and bought a L. I can wear HeatTEC + thin trainer + Ultra lightDown inside (I removed the ThermalLiner that comes with the jacket because it is covered by the Ultra lightDown). However, it is a little bulky, so you will want to wear it thin if possible (lol).
How was your experience with it?
I tried running with the above equipment in an average temperature of 3℃, but it was a little cold unless I wore a rain jacket over it. 5℃ or higher is just fine without a rain jacket, and 10℃ or higher is hot when the sun is shining.
I haven't tried it in warmer temperatures yet, but it has ventilation, so I think it can be used up to mild spring or fall temperatures.
What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
I tried to use the Chest Protector that often comes with KomineJacket, but it was too large to fit in the Jacket, so I had to cut around it. I think that I can't put Chest Protector of one piece rock type because it is made to put in from the hem of Jacket (probably).
The Protector on the back could be used without modification from Komine.
How did it compare to other products?
It looks and feels like a gutsy rider, so I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable walking around tourist spots with it on, but I think it's fine for RidingMain touring. Personally, I like it.

One size larger would be better. View detail

This product is worn over a Long Sleeve Shirt + Long Sleeve T-shirt of a certain Manufacturer's moisture wicking material.
The Inner Jacket feels slightly warm from the moment you put it on, and I rode in December and it was warm and comfortable.
Hood is a must in winter. I tried driving with it removed and found it very cold and uncomfortable around my neck.

For summer
I wanted a Jacket with removable sleeves because summer has been too hot lately.
There used to be a lot of AXIS so and so and sinisalo.
I'm not comfortable wearing only Motocross Jersey no matter how hot it gets, so I'm going to wear Body & Elbow guard with it.
I'm 176cm.85kg. and I'm a big guy.
This is quite Large tight, even in XL there is room to put a Guard underneath.

Almost as per Image
[How did you feel about the Fit?
Tight, and I hope it will fit in like Leather.
How was your experience with it?
There is no action pleated, but there is a stretchy fabric behind the shoulders so there is no tightness even when leaning forward.
Waxed cotton is windproof, but not insulating. It is a retro single jacket design, so it will look great in the city or on the road. I think it goes well with not only SCRAMBLER and TRACKER but also NeoRetroMotorcycle on the road.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
There is a little extra room around the neck, so on cold days, cold air can get into the neck.
What are the specs of the product, such as protector?
ProtectorStandard Equipment for shoulders, elbows, and back. shoulders and elbows are fairly solid protectors, but no CELevel is listed. Chest Protector is sold separately. There is a surface fastener for Chest Protector of the same brand.
How did it compare to other products?
Compare to:DEGNER18SJ-6 GoatLeather jacket
The main fabric is waxed cotton, so it does not have the stiffness of leather.
The deciding factor in the purchase
Because it was cheap at Sale.

Purchased for fall/winter
I am 176cm, 75kg, Waist 89 and have a bit of a metabolic syndrome around the tummy. I rode in the mountains of Kanagawa prefecture and Doshi village in October and November, the temperature was about 10-20℃, neither cold nor hot, just right. I am not sure if I will be able to ride through midwinter with thick innerwear, but I am glad I bought it. View detail

I have a concern.
