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.

I have the organic and it isn't hot at all. I have seen the airflow and it is mostly a mesh material. If you live in a hot climate, that might work better for you. I am in CO and we have had a hot summer and the organic has been fine for us.

I only wear it when it's really cold, cause I'm the same way. It does seem "breathable" though. We had a really cold snowy winter last year and I wore it sleigh riding a few times, and I sweat even when it's freezing out. I really do like the coat a lot.

I wear this Jacket for running and biking. It is my go to jacket for both between 30 - 65 degrees. I wear the Pearl iZUMi Men's Select Barrier Wxb Jacket for anything colder than 30 degrees but it does not breath as well.

I don't notice it with my shorts - honestly. But if I come in from the yard and my arms are wet with sweat, it isn't comfortable to my elbows and forearms. That's just me. I am hot by nature, and honestly haven't felt uncomfortable anywear else

I wore it under my we suite since it is sleeveless. It helped keep my arms warm and it held its shape so far. I've used it three times and it was put in the dryer twice.

honestly, i use it for all types of weather conditions. it's super comfortable. considering how insulated your tent is, you may have to refrain from zipping the bag all the way up at times. beats having multiple tents for different occasions.

Hi Patricia, I'm not sure what the technical requirements are for something to be called "breathable" but I'd describe it as a good quality woven material (no plastic). Seems durable and the whole umbrella seems of excellent quality but I've only had it for a couple of months. Hope this helps.

It is actuaaly rather soft and moves very well. I bought it to go hiking and I move my upper body a lot when I hike and it was very comfortable for being active. I would recommend this waterproof jacket for any level of activity as it is not stiff and very comfortable.

I find it to be plenty warm enough on it's own for work days (in the car before it warms up, walking to and from the car, etc). For outdoor activities I like to layer with a sweatshirt, fleece or sweater for added warm. The slim profile of the jacket vs the huge puffy down made my decision for me. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of warmth for the reduced bulk.

I love this jacket in many ways, but it is not for really cold weather. If I wear a warm sweater underneath, I am fine until it gets really cold, but today I was out in 30-degree weather with just a light-weight long-sleeve tee underneath and I was cold.

Well I'm 6'1" and 175lbs I got an xl. Its a bit baggy in the sleeves but they adjust so the fit is a lot better. The jacket is heavy though. If you looking for a fairly good fall/winter riding jacket this one is it. But in the heat of summer this jacket is just to heavy. Oh and all the extra padding this jacket has is def nice when meeting the pavement in a not so nice way.

I really enjoy this jacket keeps me cool when im riding when I remove the inner linen I found there was more room and a little more comfortable on me !!

The chest fit a tad loose but it breathes or keeps you cooler this way, while riding, and I own a Ducati super bike, it's comfortable and doesn't move in the wind. Great even with the liner for cold days. Paired with a thermal compression shirt, this jacket works day, night, hot or cold. Hope this helps!

The material is thin, so just a rash guard. It does keep your core warm if you wear a layer over it. I used it during a Tough Mudder in Seattle and it actually kept me "warm".

The jacket is lined with a thin reflective material to give it warmth. It is fitted. I wear a medium and it is a snug fit. No room for extra clothing underneath.

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
