Bilt Blast Waterproof Jacket

I got one of these when it started raining like crazy, and so far it's destroyed a phone and leaked pretty consistently. The liner itself seems fine, but the zippers are garbage, and if you're going through driving rain at freeway speeds, water will enter. The really aggravating part is that the outer pockets are made of waterproof material, but this means that, when water gets through the zipper, it pools. This is what killed my phone. The front zipper leaks at speed, too, and it's frustrating that a couple more bucks on a proper zipper would have saved this jacket. It's fine in wind and light rain, but don't trust it in a downpour, and don't use the outer pockets for anything that can short, water-log, or rust.

This jacket has a great price/performance ratio. It has good protection and warmth yet is wearable with business casual attire. I haven't taken out the inner lining to see how it feels but in 50/60 degree weather, it was perfect. The stiffness should go away after a few months of wear.

I have driven mopeds, scooters and motorcycles for over 30 years. Over that time I have worn every kind of jacket imaginable. Everything from no jacket, to sweatshirts, to hoodies, to leather jackets, to sport jackets, and to proper motorcycle jackets with armor. I have had blue, grey, brown and black jackets for the most part. Once color and/or style I have never had before is a "Hi-Viz" jacket. By "Hi-Viz" I mean a jacket that is either a flourescent yellow/green/orange in color and contains highly reflective properties. After watching various YouTube videos of motorcycle accidents, in most instances the driver just doesn't see us folks on our bikes. So, in an effort to make myself more visible while on the road, I decided to buy a "Hi-Viz" style jacket for my annual summer trip. Now maybe it's all a coincidence. Maybe other drivers were driving extra defensively this past week. Or maybe I have learned how to stay out of drivers blind spots better. That all may be true. But, I have to say that this past week of riding was probably my safest trip in many, many years. I was pleasantly surprised how no one cut me off this past week, and that was over 800 miles of driving. I can honestly say that I had a noticeable improved riding experience this past week and the only difference was my jacket. It makes me believe that drivers could actually see me better and therefore avoided cutting me off. I am now a believer. This jacket is comfortable, feels like good quality material and the price is amazing.

Bought this jacket a couple days ago for cooler riding. Today I did 225 miles through north Georgia and the jacket was exactly what the doc ordered. The day started off at 52 degrees so I left the liner in. I can assure you that this jacket will keep you comfy at much cooler temps. I left the liner in all day and was still comfortable BUT I would say that, with the liner in, anything above 70 could easily start being uncomfortable if you aren’t rolling. Taking the liner out would help this some but IMHO not a whole lot as the jacket is wind and waterproof with only a couple small vents.

Note this jacket does not come with a back protector but does have the pocket for it.

Great looking, stylish jacket. Ordered a medium, fits just right. Definitely a durable, comfortable riding jacket.

Works great in wet weather. I have used it in 35 degree weather. And it keep me warm. Highly recommended.

Very satisfied, perfect fit and comfortable, good looking and great quality, good price. Thank you. Charles

I love the jacket, very comfortable. Not the biggest fan of the Euro style zipper.

Ahh, it fits kind in f wide and short and made of rugged material. Not comfortable around neck due to interfering with helmet. It’s cheap though.

Hello the bilt jacket isn't quite what we thought we were getting slightly heavier than we thought. For cooler weather than we wanted. We will be shipping it back tomorrow, unfortunately.
The service was great, easy to order and quick to be delivered, although we did have to pay c.o.d upon delivery and there had been no indication of the extra fee coming into Canada when we chose standard delivery. A bit surprising. The skull cap is perfect for protecting my hair in my helmet. I will definitely use cycle gear again.
