Hi, looking to find a leather armored jacket for the gf and came across this.

I've never heard of the brand nor have I dealt with this particular website before. Anybody have any first hand experience with either the brand or the site?
TIA
PM on its way.

Size based entirely on chest measurement?
If your girlfriend is over 5'3" it won't work for sure--sleeve length. Torso length may matter too.
There are SO many bargains out there in women's motorcycle clothing. Hein Gericke, Vanson, even BMW wear.
One more VERY critical detail. Sizing is completely inconsistent and arbitrary. I've worn anything from size 6 to XL in women's riding wear at the same height and weight. Even within one brand, there's no consistency. Women's Vanson pants in size 12 are being advertised by an owner who warns that she's a size 4 (they're modeled in the ad). So Mail Order must include at least an exchange policy--many don't, hence some GREAT Craigslist and eBay finds. [thumbsup]
I just got a Scorpion Nikki jacket for a friend. I am a Scorpion dealer so I could get you a smokin deal on one of those! List is $290 but I could get you into it for a lot less. PM me if youre interested.

Luckily, she is 5' 3" ;)
Desmo Diva, PM Replied to.
Peavey, PM on its way.
Thanks for the help so far. How about just the site itself? Anybody ever use motodirect before? They claim to have free returns for a year, so if I do order the jacket and it doesn't fit or appears to be of poor quality, I'm willing to take the hit on return shipping to see if the jacket is any good.
