Venture Men's Cordura Textile Jacket

I purchased a Top Performer leather jacket shortly before purchasing my new BMW 1250 GS and was impressed with the overall construction quality of the jacket. I went with the small (even though I normally wear a medium) and it fits perfectly. The leather seems to be high quality and thick enough to take a minor fall even without the armor. However, I live in Texas and our summers hot! I had a friend recommend another brand mesh jacket he uses which I purchased. After just one Texas summer the jacket was fading and looking pretty used, and I was in the market for a new one. Then I found the Venture Men's Cordura Textile Jacket and just like the leather jacket the construction quality is exceptionally good. I have not had a chance to use the Venture jacket yet, but the fit is great, and I expect the performance to be much better than my old, faded mesh jacket! I will update my review after my first use.

Great feeling jacket. Sized down to a large, but had to send in a return to size up to my normal xl size. The return process is easy but you may want to return versus exchange if you want your jacket quicker. There is a slight plastic smell to the jacket when brand new, but not enough to really bother me. It might if you are super sensitive to that kind of thing. I’m 6’, 200 pounds with a pretty average build and had to size up to an xl. I do like a slightly looser fit. But the large was not big enough even w the liner removed. The jacket feels super quality. Looking forward to trying it out this season. Thanks First Mfg!
