This jacket has some nice expansion material down the sides of the torso, so there is some flexibility on fit.
The Metralla jacket is a mostly-mesh street jacket that will flow a lot of air and give you comfort in the hottest days of the year. The jacket includes a full sleeve removable waterproof and windproof liner and a full set of armor.
About Motonation gear: Motonation is a US distributor of many brands of motorcycle apparel and accessories in the US. One of their top brands is Sidi boots. They WERE the distributor for AGV Sport gear for many years before AGV Sport exited the US market in 2017. For 2018 Motonation developed their own line of gear to fill that niche.
This jacket will be great for the hot summer months and even milder days in the fall and spring. Most of the torso and sleeves use a full mesh material that will allow full air flow through this jacket. The material is kind of unique. The weave makes it looks like honeycomb which gives it a high tech look. The rest of the jacket is solid textile material and the patches over the shoulders and elbows are a more heavy duty fabric to add some abrasion resistance.
Included with the jacket is a removable waterproof and windproof liner. You can use the liner for two things… first as a windbreaker to help knock the chill off when the temps dip. You can also layer underneath the liner for even colder temps. The liner is also waterproof too, so you can use the liner in a rain. The liner will keep you dry, but since it installed UNDER the jacket, the jacket itself will get wet so you’ll want to make sure you put your valuables in pockets under the liner or away in your luggage.
This jacket comes with CE armor inserts in the shoulders and elbows and also a foam back pad so there is nothing more to buy. The pricing on this jacket is really reasonable. As with other Motonation gear, its not of equal quality as our premium brands but its not bad either. I think it gives very good value. :: Paul, 06-13-18
