M65 WP JACKET BLACK Wasserdichte Motorradjacke Slim-Fit

I've been a fan for years since purchasing several pieces to ride my duc in Western North Carolina (original bomber, mark kiev pants, trucker jacket and tights, all still part of my daily riding/work/play clothes) moved to New England and switched to a hyper scooter and looser clothes for layers and saw they had the m65 style Jacket on sale and thought this could be my "live in" jacket and pando did not disappoint! First, I've got to say I've never experienced faster shipping! I got the package three days from shipping! I can't get something from my neighbor states as fast, no exaggerating! But I get this coat on and have to remove the vest liner because it's to warm on a fall day and first thing apart from the warmth I noticed is how easy the fasteners worked... Than I noticed how easy the pockets were to access and how accommodating the shoulders are and... Well, as always, the people at pando don't often miss much in the important details. And as always, the simplicity and elegance in the design with the accompanying technical advancements in textiles and protective armor make their clothes the absolute best choice in any price range for me! I'm a poor person who loves clothes and can't afford to waste money on things that don't last so I'll always be happy that quality and reputation still matter to this company! Thanks for all my favorite clothes! (Ps. Can you make a baggie fit cargo pant for skaters? I use my old marks since they are really stretchy and the padding is less bulky than skate pads so, more fun! Anyway, might be a market you can tap into. Thanks again, LOVE YOU, bye.)

I really love Pando Moto's products. I bought this one at a very generous discount, and from that lens there's absolutely zero criticism. It's a beautiful jacket that works by itself as a regular fashion article, regardless of it being motorcycle gear. The armor is barely noticeable.

Where I believe there's room for improvement considering its full price:
- the zipper could be much more robust
- the liner could cover the arms (effectively turning this into a "full winter" jacket)
- and maybe allowing for adjustment on the neck, similar to the ones on the sleeves (which are brilliant).
- The buttons are fine, but probably aren't the best solution for thick gloves - zippers would work better IMO
- Finally, at its original price point, I would have hoped it to be manufactured in Europe. EU-based manufacturing is something I'd love Pando to keep pushing for.

Tip: I'm a small/short guy (1.65m) with medium to broad shoulders, and bought an S, but I'd be better served with the M, I believe. Length is fine because I'm short, but It's on the tight side. Bear that in mind.

With that said, it's *clearly* a 5-star article, and I will keep buying from Pando.

Love it. Looks sleek. Keeps out the water. Keeps in the heat (with layering of course). Wish I bought it much much sooner.

Haven't seen the jacket, as I bought it to my son who says they look great.

Great jacket that I might even wear when not riding!
