Bilt Techno Women's Jacket

Purchased my jacket when it was 109 degrees out. I felt protected on my ride home and was cool enough considered no how hot it was. Would recommend.

Before I took the MSF basic course - in July in Texas - I bought this jacket (in light gray) and a pair of gloves. It's possible this jacket has a lot to do with the fact that I still wanted to ride after a full day on the range with temps reaching 135°F on the pavement.

First and foremost, airflow when moving is excellent. If you open up the back pocket zippers, air moves even better. I've ridden near daily for 3 week's worth of 102° and only sweated when sitting at a light (which is a fact of life in the city/suburbs). As soon as the light turns green, the airflow cools me quickly and starts to dry my t-shirt.

Fit is excellent in size small for my 5'8", 130# frame, and all the adjustment Velcro, zips and snaps help to dial it into that Goldilocks zone. I would like the back to come a bit lower, but if I buy the Techno pants later I'll be able to zip them together and eliminate this issue.

The neoprene at collar and cuffs definitely help eliminate chafing I've felt from other jackets I tried on.

Pockets are serviceable and sufficient for most of my needs. Since I carry my documents in the inside chest pocket, I've been cramming my phone into one of the hand warmer pockets; there's plenty of space once it's in there, but the pocket opening is a little tight with my phone's case on.

The back "protector" isn't CE rated, so I'll be replacing it with an appropriate armor piece soon. The shoulder and elbow armor seem like they'll be fine, and they stay in place right where I need them.

All in all, I like the look and fit, and my nonriding husband is more comfortable knowing I'm wearing it. I would definitely buy it again.

Great jacket! Comfortable and I like that the liner can come out for cooler rides when hot temps.

Fits perfectly and kept me cool but protected on a 85 degree day ride.

Great jacket. Kept my shirt completely dry in moderate rain. Also has great ventilation with the inner layer removed. Jacket is easily adaptable with velcro by the waist and wrist and movable snaps on the arms. Onlyyyy negative is the high neckline can be a bit uncomfortable when i turn my head but its not bad. Back protection was easily replaceable and inner lining is super easy to remove and put in.

The Bilt Techno Jacket was bought to replace another brand of mesh jacket. My daughter claimed that after our first ride, she could feel the air moving through the mesh. A big step up in comfort for riding in our hot Arizona climate.

I love this jacket! Light, protective, and stylish? 10/10 would buy again.

The jacket fit really good and was comfortable after getting off the bike. I am impressed with the fit, comfort, and style.

I bought the all black and the white/black one. Quality is great. Very stylish. Got them for great price on sale.The reason I bought two of them.Fit very well . Removable liner is made of good quality. Don't think I will be needing that this summer. Just bought today have yet to take for a ride. Will update if possible on the airflow. Would definitely buy again

The jacket itself is perfect, great wind flow and protection. The fit is too tight at the waistband though. The whole jacket fits great except the start of the zipper is two inches from closing!
