Choosing a summer jacket

[696DCRider]

What is your weight and body type?

Good news and bad news... I got the Dainese Shotgun. It looks and feels great. I've ridden in it three times and the airflow in incredible. The bad news is that I've come to the conclusion that it's too big soooo.... I'm going to list it in the gear for sale section. I can't return it because it has been worn. It's the black/grey version. I was told it's in good enough shape to return and tell them it was not worn. I don't work that way. I knew the deal beforehand so I'll live with the loss. Already ordered a 52. Check it out if you're in the market. It really is an awesome jacket.

Oh okay.  That will be too big for me too then.  Oh well.  It's still not blazing hot here yet anyway so I am putting my purchase off for a little while.

For future reference, cyclegear will take returns on items that have been worn - and their policy specifically says so. So you don't need to worry about it - that's what I did with my shotgun.

I like you found that it ran large and returned it for a saze smaller than my Dianese leather jacket.

For anyone looking at these, order a size smaller. They run large, and they have a good bit of stretch material
