This riding shirt/jacket was exactly what I was looking for. Reminiscent of Barbour or Belstaff waxed cotton at a fraction of the cost. I’m 6ft 200lbs and the Large fit perfectly. If your intention is to layer under it then I would size up. I live in Florida and will most of the time be wearing just a T-shirt under the jacket. The ventilation is enough to keep me cool and protected while riding. Very happy with this purchase.

I inherited an ancient Barbour Intl. motorcycle jacket several decades ago, I loved it and wore it 4-seasons until it literally fell apart. Have always wanted to replace it but the price, and lack of modern armor and abrasion protection stopped me.

Got to checking around and the Facebook algorithm led me to B9. Didn’t look exactly like a Barbour, but I liked it possibly better. Didn’t expect much for the price and I am astounded now that I have it in hand.

Ventilation zippers all over, excellent stitching, armor and abrasion protection, etc…. Forget all that for a moment, it looks spectacular and not at all like a specialty motorcycle jacket.

My wife took one look at it and now she wants one too.

Not quite as well ventilated as my perforated leather Vanson, but so much lighter, I don’t look like a space cadet wearing it off the bike, and 1/10th the price.

Love it!
