Great jacket for the price
I've had this jacket for over a year and use it all summer long. It gives great protection when the weather is warm. I recently laid my bike down and slid 75 feet on the pavement and barely scuffed this jacket. I had a very hard impact on my left elbow and shoulder. The armor plating spread the force out so I barely had any bruises and there was no road rash. Crash test tested and approved! I will be getting another one.

Dope jacket
Great jacket, i use this every riding session. i double team this jacket with the Icon field armor vest and works awesome. The airflow is good and if it gets cold i just put a sweater on underneath, i live in cali so the weather is never really that cold. The only con is the memory foam in the back, really no need for it, my opinion anyway. Good stuff and great price, i had a pretty gnarly spill and this jacket saved my elbows man!

Truly provides airflow!
Bought in the store and XL was a good fit for me in the shoulders (46) but was too big for my 35 waist. The adjustments came in handy. Don't wear this jacket if you're expecting anything below 65 degrees F, but I'm fully expecting to get a lot use out of it in the Houston area.
PROS: Decent padding, Great for warmer weather
CONS: Don't wear below 70F, Could only find black

Great jacket for the price
This jacket is great for when the temperature starts warming up. It flows almost as much air across your skin as no jacket.
I decided on this jacket because it was in my budget and it had the best fit for me. I'm 5'-10", 175lbs with long arms and the Lg Tall fits great, and the pads seem to want to stay where they are supposed to be. This was also one of the few jackets that I tried on with sleeves that didn't ride half way up to my elbows when I am in riding position.
The build quality seems to be good. Like the previous poster said, it would be nice to have color choices other than black (especially for a hot weather jacket). Other than that, no complaints yet. I'm very happy with my purchase. For the price, you'll have a hard time beating this one.

Incredible Jacket for the price
Fantastic Jacket. Fits perfectly, and with our roads here in South Louisiana, you are crazy if you do not wear some kind of protection. This jacket has replaced my comparable Dainese, seriously.

Excellent summer jacket, high quality !!
I live in the desert southwest, and this jacket provides very good ventilation and excellent protection from the intense desert sun. I didn't think I could find a jacket that could make mid-summer desert riding possible. This jacket does it. The quality is superb. A quality jacket at a fair price.

This thing can breath
I got this jacket to have during the hot summer days. I've only worn it in 70 degree weather because that's the highest its gotten so far but will start to get into the 90's soon. Man does this thing breath. I wore it in 70 degree weather and had to go back and change jackets because I was getting too cold! lol. It seems like it will be perfect for summer. Nice protection at the shoulders and elbows. Only downside for me is it's kinda short. I think i have a longer than average torso though. Other than that nice and will wear all summer I'm sure. Big thanks to Robert in HB for helping me pick it out.

The Best Mesh Jacket for the Money
I bought the jacket for my 12 hour ride yesterday, from San Jose, CA to Mission San Antonio to Big Sur to Monterey to home. The Temps were up 108 degrees at the Mission to 63 degrees along the coast. I bought the Cool Vest along with this Blaze Mesh jacket, the combination kept the ride comfortable up to 98 degrees, above that I began to Boil. But I ride a Goldwing with has wind protection, it would work better without a large fairing. The Jacket fits good, has double body armor on shoulders and forearms. I removed the back armor and removed the stitching that holds it so the air can pass through, otherwise it defeats the purpose of a Mesh Jacket. The Jacket looks good, fits good, and is very comfortable, not too heavy, not too light, and is the best jacket for the money!

Good-looking good protection in hot weather
I just received it after six days- Fits true to size I am 6 feet 195 and I bought an extra large; I can fit a sweatshirt or waterproof nylon windbreaker underneath if nec- or even put a loose fitting denim jacket over it.- The air will flow right through on hot days and the protection on my elbows shoulders and back is right where it supposed to be. Jacket has one inside pocket with zipper; could use at least one or two more. The only thing that annoys me is the zipper is on the left. I like it though and would recommend it.

BEST ANSWER: There is a Bilt Blaze riding pant that pairs with this jacket; they zip together via the short zipper in the back. Very easy to use.
