Sizing Information:
This jacket is sold in men’s “alpha” sizing. We find this jacket to run true to the manufacturer’s size chart (shown below) which is also consistent with the sizing of other major brands, so you can choose the size you normally wear in men’s clothing. You can also measure yourself and use the chart to make sure you are choosing a jacket large enough to accommodate both your chest and waist (if your belly is bigger than your waist use the belly measurement).
| Alpha Size | Height | Chest | Waist |
| M | 5’8”-5’10” | 38-40.5 | 33-35.5 |
| L | 5’10”-5’11” | 40.5-43 | 35.5-38 |
| XL | 5’11”-6’1” | 43-45.5 | 38-40 |
| XXL | 6’1”-6’2” | 45.5-47.5 | 40-42.5 |
| XXXL | 6’2”-6’3” | 47.5-49.5 | 42.5-44.5 |
The Diablo jacket is a good combination of style, comfort and protection. The jacket has molded rubber pieces incorporated into the design on its shoulders and back area. They are pretty neat looking (except for the plastic/chrome shoulder logos which are a bit cheesy looking). This jacket has a somewhat relaxed fit (for a sport cut) and was immediately comfortable to wear. We liked the short collar which is partially made of a soft neoprene fabric. Perforations in the torso along with zippered air intake vent on the shoulders help keep you cool during warmer rides. A removable vest liner is also included for cooler days. The elbows and shoulders of the jacket come equipped with removable CE approved armor. The jacket also includes a foam back pad. Reflective piping running down the back and across the elbows gives the jacket extra visibility at night.
