Is it insulating or breathable? Would like to use it as a summer motorcycle jacket. Says it has removable hard elbow and should pads. True? Thanks

Yes rmovable. Great coat, little flimsy for street use, better snowboarding/skateboarding, might wear it on a motorcycle at 80-90degrees, no hotter unless your moving. Id say insulating. Built for skiing. Im a 36-38 chest, i believe a ibought a large, good fit. The picture with the zipper is the real photo. Very stylish, but the mesh makes it kinda loose fitting and pads MUST stay in place so take time each time, fitting the velcro comfortably.

It's fine on motorcycle. Mine's big enough for light jacket underneath. Keeps me dry in moderate rain, never used in heavy downpour. (I have W/S so that helps too.)

I have. The other day it was 92 in the valley out here in so cal and I wore this helmet. It felt slightly warmer but I think my biggest issue was when my head got itchy there were no vents to scratch. They do have a new helmet coming out in the fall called the Giro synthe. It's a semi Aero hybrid between the air attack and aeon. It offers ventilation and an aero feel with a less comical look. I would hold off to get that helmet (and am going to add that to my repertoire when it's released).

Yes all padding is removable and it breathes really well. Baby is happy in the heat and cold.

I only use it for cycling... I guess if its really cold, but I would look at just underarmour

This helmet doesnt have any special additions in terms of insulating a rider from the cold. Just the standard padding and no chin skirt which would help slightly. Definitely look into face mask, balaclava or both depending on how cold it gets where u live

I only use it for biking. I'm not a runner, so I don't know what you'd be looking for in a jacket for running. I should think it would be OK as a windbreaker, though.

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

I don't think that this is the vest for you then. It's perfect for over a thermal, but an insulated jacket may be a bit much. Also, it will flop around too much if not fastened on the sides.

It is ok for short times in rain. I ride a motorcycle with it and it soaks through pretty quick in moderate rain. I.m not super impressed with the jacket overall.

The protector is breathable. We suggest washing it when you first get it if you notice any heat. It comes tightly folded so washing it will open up the terry loops allowing it to breathe better.

It's not insulated, so the heat does disperse. However, my wife uses it almost daily with no complaints, and she's bought our daughter one. She's had recent foot surgery due to the foot stress from being a hair stylist for several years, and she's very pleased.

I personally have not slept on it for a full night but my children do not seem to have a problem with it being hot or sweaty. The material that it is covered in is like a nylon mesh but softer (if that makes sense). It is extremely comfortable, my husband and I are thinking of getting one in a larger size. I hope that helps!

Hi, the jackets' hood has a zipper around the neck..so would have to undo for a drink. For me, as I am short and wide...the extra head material for the size I need can get in the way a bit but (scroll down) it is worth it for me....as I deal with with the issue of WI state insect ..mosquito...having a party in my garden with the no see ums. It keeps both out and I am able to garden. :)

Yes, I feel it is breathable.... It is like a thin terry cloth material on the outside. (Very thin plastic on the inside) We put the fitted sheet over it and its fine!

There is s thermostat that regulates the temp, but no hi lo. The padding is foam.

If you're out in the sweltering heat, yeah, I can see the bean bag being warm and get covered in sweat. However, it is removable. It's attached with Velcro. You can take it off and put it back on at will.
