FirstGear Bravado Textile Jacket

You can consult sizing information from FirstGear to choose a size based upon your height and weight and also considering the sizes you normally wear in men’s clothing. Tall sizes: FirstGear offers this jacket in talls, which provides a rarely found option for tall people. The body and sleeves of the jackets are 1 1/2 to 2 inches taller than the “standard” cut jackets. If you normally have to buy “talls” then these should work for you.

The Bravado offers a lot of features for the everyday street rider or touring rider. FirstGear is about the only apparel maker that offers a well-thought out storage system in their jackets. This jacket has large zippered pockets on the front with smaller storage compartments inside to help you take what you need and stay organized. Take the “View Larger Pictures” link above for some good photos of this feature. The jacket is designed to be waterproof (very few jackets are actually completely waterproof) with waterproof compartment/vent zippers and a waterproof shell. When it gets hot outside, the jacket has a total of 4 zippered vents on the front and one rear exhaust vent. For cold weather you get a full-sleeve insulated liner (removable). Armor consists of CE approved “turtle shell” type armor that is substantial yet flexible. A foam back pad is also included. There is a short rear zipper for attachment to FirstGear pants. If you need a similar ladies style jacket, consider the Karma textile jacket.
