Sizing Information:
This jacket is sold in “alpha sizes.” We recommend that you take a look at the sizing chart provided by Speed and Strength to find the jacket that would fit you the best:
| Size | Small | Medium | Large | XL | 2XL | 3XL | 4XL |
| Chest | 38-40 | 40-42 | 42-44 | 46-48 | 50-52 | 54-56 | 58-60 |
| Sleeve | 33 | 34 | 35 1/2 | 36 1/2 | 37 | 37 1/2 | 37 1/2 |
We checked out the sizing of these jackets in our offices and find the chart above to be reasonably accurate. Please be sure to check your belly measurements also. Belly sizes should not be bigger than the chest minus 6”. For example, if you choose a size XL your belly should not be bigger than 40 to 42 inches
The Twist of Fate mesh jacket is styled more toward sport bike riders. It is much like the other mesh styles from Speed and Strength, but they’ve added plastic exterior armor pieces to the shoulders and over the spine in back. Also, the collar is a simple banded style most commonly found on race suits (rather than a short “mandarin” style collar). I really don’t think the exterior armor will be functional… it’s more for styling. One flaw I have to point out on this jacket is that the windproof/waterproof liner that comes with the jacket has the mandarin style collar, and when it is under the jacket, it sticks out the top and looks and feels kind of weird. Ooops! Unless you just really like the looks of the molded armor pieces, my advice would be to buy a different jacket.
