Yeh...

Steve - 3/1/2010

Don't buy any other jacket. The quality of this jacket is unmatched!! Looks like it's too hot for summer but it's not! Awesome looking enough for crotch rocket riders to cruisers. Looks masculine not like a pretty boy type jacket. Buy one.. NOW!!!

Even better than expected!

Nick in Pa - 4/26/2012

I fussed over buying a summer jacket for almost a year. All the typical mesh summer jackets are super ugly and covered in branded logos. Not my thing. This jacket is perfect. Looks great, high quality, and very light. Comfortable as soon as you put it on.

Also - great customer service at BMG!

Best Humidity Jacket I have seen..

jerry in south florida - 7/6/2008

Wow at 100 plus with humidity I feel very comfortable as long as I am moving. The Black fabric seems to block out the sun and stop any heating up of my skin as well as all sunburn. I have been down in it and it worked great. At $139 with option for Level 2 Knox Back you get great protection for the money. It even kept me dry in a down pour, although it does not claim to be 100% waterproof.. Great buy for a hot weather rider that wants to be protected from the sun and pavement..

Great for Texas heat

I am loving this jacket. My only request is that BMG would make one in silver or black with orange so I can match my orange BMW. My husband has the black/yellow and it looks sharp with his black yellow BMW. (I may ride with the guys but fashion counts!). I have noticed when riding at night the reflective piping is bright. Price is outstanding.

Excellent jacket

DH in Texas - 12/12/2010

I bought my Zodiac jacket in Spring of 2004 and have over 40,000 miles with it- most without a windshield. It is still in good shape and is my favorite riding jacket for warm/cool weather. With thermals and sweater under it, I can ride in temps down to mid/low 50 degrees. It is not waterproof, but it is excellent at it's intended use.

Found it again!!

Patrick Croasdale - 7/18/2010

I purchased this jacket way back in 2002 and rode with it almost all the time until this riding season of 2010. The yellow on the sleeves had started to fade, I crash tested it once and some of the leather zipper pulls started to come off. So I decided to buy a new one. Unfortunatly I couldn't find it anywhere and was forced to buy something else. But here I am, and here it is so off with the new and on with the new'er! I am so glad to have found this jacket again. I would go as far as to say this is the best all around jacket I have ever owned...again!

New favorite in the closet

Roy Ethridge - 7/25/2008

I received my new Zodiac jacket a few days before leaving for a trip to the mountains of North Ga and TN. For late July I had to prepare for lots of sun, 100+ degrees and even heavy afternoon thunderstorms. I wanted to pack lightly but the Zodiac was untested by me so I added an old mesh jacket and liner. I must admit that on the first afternoon nothing felt exactly cool and when my battery would start up the beemer we both had to wait for a while before restarting.
Over the next few days I was able to switch between the mesh and the Zodiac. When the temp was under 90 I was comfortable with either jacket however the Zodiac will be my only choice for my next ride since it allowed for plenty of air flow with all the vents open but could be instantly adjusted when the rains came or the temp dropped.
The added reason I will select the Zodiac is that it was as comfortable off the bike while playing tourist at the winery or dining in the cafe.
Great product, service and value.

A Must for Africa

Bill in South Africa - 6/9/2009

When I saw the write up on web bike world I had to try the Zodiac Jacket. Anything that light and protective would be great in South Africa mesh lets in to much heat and you get dehydrated and saftey is always a concern. The dollar being a little week at the moment I figured I would spring for the extra postage from the USA. I have not taken this thing off in months. It has kept me comfortable in all kinds of heat and humidity and I even crash tested it with no apparent issues to me or the garment. It also seems to be quite waterproof.

Thanks for a great product BMG I will be ordering more of your line in the future.

P.S. Thanks for supporting Riders.org it is a great cause...

Great for the Majove Desert

Mike - 6/26/2009

I received my jacket a couple of days ago and I have to say it is all I had hoped for. I have never had a better warm weather jacket with as much protection. I live in the Mojave desert and as you can imagine it gets hot here although the humidity is low. The mesh jackets let to much air in and you end up roasting like sitting in a convection oven. This Zodiac vent system lets you control the amount of intake air and works much better than a mesh. One final thing, I ride a S2R monster and even at elevated speed the jacket does not "Flap". Nicely done..

Great Jacket for the Heat and Humidity!!

Mosquito - 7/8/2008

I typically ride with the jacket unzipped and it keeps me cool in the 100% humidity and 90 degree + temperatures of eastern Tennessee, while offering great protection!!

Zodiac Jacket

Steve in Georgia, USA - 1/15/2010

The Zodiac is now my favorite riding jacket for moderate to warm temperatures. Especially like the full comfortable cut and extra vents. Great product.
