Sizing Information
This jacket is sold in alpha sizes. You can go here for a conversion chart if you know your chest size. We recommend you measure your chest and belly to make sure you are selecting a jacket big enough to accommodate both. The belly size in this jacket will be about 6” less than the chest size (example, a 46 jacket will have a max belly of about 40”).
Our Two Cents
The Prodigy Mesh Jacket is a nice warm weather alternative to a regular textile or leather jacket. The mesh material allows plenty of air flow to keep you cool during those summer months. One concern people have with mesh jackets is the abrasion resistance of the mesh material. In just handling this jacket, I think it would do a very good job with abrasion protection. The mesh material is sturdy feeling and there are overlays of solid textile material in key crash areas (you can see these in our close-up pictures). In addition to the materials used, the Prodigy Jacket features removable CE approved armor in the shoulders and elbows, and an SP Memory Foam® back pad for impact protection. Velcro wrist closures and waist adjustment allow some room for fit adjustment. If the weather turns wet there is a rainblocker liner which can be installed which should do a good job keeping you dry and blocking the wind – but it won’t provide any insulation (think of it as a very thin windbreaker). As far as pockets go, there are two waterproof pockets inside the jacket, handy for keeping things (like a cell phone) protected from the elements. Along with these two, there is a zippered document pocket and two additional pockets on the jacket interior. The only thing that stinks is you can’t get to any of these pockets when the rainblocker liner is installed (you’ll need to unzip the liner partway to gain access). There are two zippered hand warmer pockets on the front of the jacket though so it’s not like you have no pockets at all with the liner installed.
