almost want to lay the bike down By dave, just dave from Iron Mountian, Mi on 08/10/2009 Pros: Abrasion Resistant, Tough Best Uses: Long Rides, Street Riding Motorsports: Motorcycle Enthusiast Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Apears like it came out of a mad max movie.
This is a well put together jacket. I like all the features. Vents, belt and straps to make it a custom fit. I like it.
Classic Example of Sierra Quality By Bainbridge Bull from Bainbridge Island, WA on 07/22/2009 Pros: Abrasion Resistant, Comfortable, Stylish, Tough Best Uses: Long Rides, Poor Weather, Protection, Street Riding Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This jacket is very cool. I think it looks way better in person than in the pictures. All the riders I know around here (Bainbridge Island, WA) either have glitzy Joe Speed Racer style jackets, or boring rain jackets.
This has the performance of the foul weather gear with very cool, subtle styling. I would only make two improvements.
1 - A bigger reflective component in the arms, shoulder, and back; There's a small pipe, but I'd like to see a 1" stripe or patches of reflective material along the arm, on the shoulder or across the back.
2 - Bigger, better venting. It's a hot jacket for anything over 75 degrees. Fortunately, around here, that's not common.
By Puget Sound Sailor from Seattle, WA on 07/17/2009 Pros: Abrasion Resistant, Comfortable, Stylish, Well constructed Best Uses: Long Rides, Poor Weather, Protection, Street Riding Motorsports: Year round commuter Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The jacket is extremely well made, I am most impressed with the quality. The jacket feels just a tad small. It would be a tight fit if I put on an extra layer for winter riding. Much much better than my current Kilimanjaro jacket, at more than half the price. Thanks Sierra!
Excellent all weather jacket By waldo from San Leandro on 06/20/2009 Pros: Abrasion Resistant, Breathable, Comfortable, Tough Motorsports: Casual Rider, Motorcycle Enthusiast Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: great armor. Best designed for street bikes: the vents are better for front-down riding positions. Good length and the zippers and snaps are very solid. Also, the liner is very well designed: It attaches at multiple points that prevent it from shifting or bunching.
I like it!

Good construction and design. Alot of thought went into the details of this jacket
By Shoots from any Angle from Prince George BC Canada on 04/30/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Stylish, Tough Best Uses: Long Rides, Poor Weather, Protection, Street Riding Motorsports: Motorcycle Enthusiast Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I live in Norhtern Canada, my morning commute is 1/2hr on the highway, today it was 27 degree F and I was completly warm, no need for my electric vest at all. Jacket fits great, looks awesome can't wait to test the water resistance.
By mc commuter from St Louis, MO on 04/07/2009 Pros: Abrasion Resistant, Breathable, Comfortable Best Uses: Poor Weather, Protection, Street Riding Motorsports: Casual Rider, Motorcycle Enthusiast Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: With the liner in it is a little small. European cut (slender). Outstanding jacket in every other way except for the absence of reflective material. Add that and a slightly roomier fit and it would have been 5 stars.
By Mario from Salem, OR on 03/14/2009 Pros: Abrasion Resistant, Stylish, Tough Cons: Doesn't Breath, No reflective material Best Uses: Poor Weather, Protection, Street Riding Motorsports: Motorcycle Enthusiast Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Live in OR, first winter jacket, very impressed with material/design/made, 5'7"/138 lb, 38S suit, M fits slightly larger even with liner, I do think Hein Gericke is true to size, due to personal build, I might need a smaller size, would prefer shorter sleeves, softer collar, love the heavy duty feel and look, made of 400 Denier Polyester, CE approved armors well placed on shoulder, elbow and back, 100% weather proof riding up to an hour in 40 F, wind or rain, suspect it will not breath much in summer, pockets are small, will need to take gloves off to access, even after reviewing the entire jacket line up in Motorcycle Superstore, still best value for money, for additional saving look for coupons, already recommended to riding partners, will return to try out a smaller size.
Hein Gericke Spader Moto Coat By baggerman from Bismarck, ND on 03/08/2009 Pros: Abrasion Resistant, Tough, Waterproof Best Uses: Long Rides, Poor Weather, Protection, Street Riding Motorsports: Motorcycle Enthusiast Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is typical of Hein Gericke quality. Unsurpassed! I'm a little disappointed that the collar pushes up due to the one way zipper. Other than that this is an incredible coat for serious riders. Waterproof, rugged, vented, armor on the shoulders, elbows, lower tailbone too. A riding coat of this quality should include a two way zipper though - go figure. You'll love that the waist belts pull to each side not across the zipper! Might be a little warm above 90 degrees. You can't go wrong.
