Bilt Techno Hi-Viz Women's Jacket

Stole much of this from another review...I couldn't say it better myself!

"I've been shopping for a couple of months, comparing prices, trying on jackets and agonizing over the decision. In the end I bought this one."

It fit better and was more comfortable than some of the other jackets I tried on, including Olympia, at less than half the cost.

"The neoprene on the cuffs & neck are nice. The fit is generous, (I'm normally a Women's medium, but the small was perfect). There are dual adjustment tabs on the arms, velcro on the wrists and at the hips to customize the fit.There's a breast pocket for your cell phone or sunglasses. Even the zip out liner has a couple of pockets. Nice."

The liner did not work as an internal windbreaker, and on chilly summer nights, I needed more. I was able to layer up under the jacket which helped, but it is designed for maximum air flow in hot weather. We've had record highs the last 2 days and liner out is great!

"Pros: airflow - once you get moving, it's okay. Armor stays where it should. Comfortabe fit while riding. Sizing is for real women. Value for the money."

"Cons: warm when you're sitting still (but that's gonna be any jacket). Need And it doesn't come in hi-viz yellow... 
I would buy it again."

Need an extra windbreaker liner for chilly night rides after hot day rides.

PROS: Light Weight, Bright Color White, Great Air flow

BEST USES: Street, Cruising

I've been looking for an afordable mesh jacket that wasn't PINK or BLACK. So glad I found this one and took a chance on ordering it. I'm 5'8", 150lb and normally wear a medium so that's what I ordered. It fits perfectly with and without the liner. Mesh is lightweight and I stay nice/cool while riding. Love that it's white and the fit itself is flattering without being boxy!!

PROS: Great Fit, Pockets are perfect, Nice Cool Mesh

I wore my jacket for the first time on 105 degree Las Vegas ride. Sure, at those temps I still was hot and sweaty at stop lights. But when the bike was moving this jacket had really good air flow. It was nice to be able to still have protection on a hot day.

Got lots of compliments on the look from the group I was riding with. Fit well though I did go with one size larger because in the heat I wanted some breathing room, (I had the liner out).

I imagine with the liner in it will be an an excellent jacket for cooler fall rides.

It took me a long time to find a mesh jacket that fit well and had the look I wanted without a ton of logos. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

After getting run off the road, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and get an armored jacket before I got introduced to the pavement again.
I've been shopping for a couple of months, comparing prices, trying on jackets and agonizing over the decision. In the end I bought this one.
It's every bit as nice as some of the Tourmasters & Icon jackets I tried on at less than half the cost.
The neoprene on the cuffs & neck are nice. The fit is generous (I'm normally a Women's Large, but the Medium was perfect). There are dual adjustment tabs on the arms, velcro on the wrists and at the hips to customize the fit.There's a breast pocket for your cell phone or sunglasses. Even the zip out liner (which extends your riding season) has a couple of pockets. Nice.
Pros: airflow - once you get moving, it's okay. Armor stays where it should. Comfortabe fit whie riding. Sizing is for real women. Value for the money.
Cons: warm when you're sitting still (but that's gonna be any jacket). And it doesn't come in hi-viz yellow...
I would buy it again.

PROS: Armor, Fit, Comfortable, Versatility, price, Air flow, value

CONS: Wish It Came In Hi-viz

BEST USES: Summer riding, Commuting

I'm 5'5" and about 110 lb. The small fits me very well. With the liner in, I can still fit a fleece vest or light fleece sweater along with base layer. With the liner out there is more room, but the adjustment tabs help take up the slack, so the fit remains good with liner in or out.

I'd consider this a late Spring to early Fall jacket ... not quite 3 seasons.

It looks good on. I'd like to see a bit more reflective material especially on the back.

PROS: Good Fit, breathable, Lots of adjustments, Good protection

At 5'7" and 115 lbs the small fits well, even in sleeve length. Shoulder width is good too even with broader shoulders. Fit all around is good and leaves room for some back and chest armor if desired. Surprisingly the sleeves were snug on my thin arms. There are adjustable tabs at the waist and both the liner and the jacket have a cell phone/wallet pocket. The only drawback I see is that the pocket for spine protection is too small. There's no protection for the lower half of your back. Not so cool. All in all I like the jacket and will add under armor to address the small back protector pocket.

PROS: Light Weight

CONS: Tiny Back Protector

On a 2000 mile road trip, my wife and I got caught in some rain and she got wet. A rain shield attached to this jacket would have been a welcome addition.

PROS: Light, Does Not Restric Motion, Great Air flow, Good Level Of Protection

CONS: Needs A Rain Shield

This has been one hot summer. I have a black leather ventilated jacket, but this summer is too hot for even that.

Since my commute is on the highway, I wanted something that would alert motorists texting on their phones that I was there.

The Hi-Viz makes this perfect. This jacket has much more airflow then on my vented leather jacket and the liner is perfect for the cool mornings on the highway.

You are still going to be hot in bumper to bumper traffic, but once you are moving the airflow is great.

I was looking for a nice summer light weight summer jacket. They had this one nicely priced and fits a little big. Over all a very nice jacket.

PROS: Rec'd At A Nice Price, Light Weight

CONS: runs a little big

I sent this to my Wife in Hawaii.
The jacket she took was what she used here.
We lived at 5000ft and she was always cold.
She got this jacket 2 days ago and loves it.
Keeps her safe and much cooler.

PROS: price, Fit, Safe, Cooler

CONS: No Air Conditioning
