Sizing Information
We checked the fit on these jackets with our size mannequins and we also spot checked a few different size jackets with a tape. We feel this model runs true to size. The jackets are sold in ordinary “alpha” sizes, so you can choose the size you normally wear in men’s clothing.
For those that want to check the size based upon their chest and belly measurements, I put together the chart below. Measure your chest and belly and pick a size that is big enough for both. Our chart differs a little bit from Cortech’s official chart in the smaller sizes, but we think Cortech understates the size of those jackets by about one size, so we recommend using our estimates.
The overall cut of this jacket is ideal for street and touring riding. It’s on the trim side, but not overlay so most people can find an easy fit.
| Alpha Size | Max Chest Size | Max Belly |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 38 | 34 |
| Small | 40 | 36 |
| Medium | 42 | 38 |
| Large | 44 | 40 |
| XL | 46 | 42 |
| XXL | 48 | 44 |
| XXXL | 51 | 47 |
| XXXXL | 54 | 50 |
Our Two Cents
The Cortech Hyper-Flo Air 2.0 Jacket is a mesh jacket that is designed for warm weather riding while giving off a sport look. Overall construction of the jacket is abrasion resistant polyester mesh paired with 1000 denier nylon on the shoulders and elbows. This construction allows the Hyper-Flo Air 2.0 Jacket to achieve a CE Level A abrasion resistance rating which is fairly common amongst most mesh jackets (there are mesh jackets that have a AA rating but are usually in a higher price bracket than this jacket coming in at $179.99). Other materials included are a Aqua-Barrier® waterproof/breathable, thermal insulated, zip out full sleeve liner.
Looking at comfort and convenience this jacket does feature a performance fit with rolled shoulders and pre-curved sleeves, as well as 4-way stretch at the shoulders and elbows to increase mobility. For convenience you do get two front pockets that have zippers, one long pocket in the back that can be accessed on either side via zipper, a waterproof internal cell phone pocket both inside the jacket itself and in the liner and one additional internal pocket in the liner and in the jacket. Additional comfort features include adjustable hook and loop straps at both the waist and wrists to help with fit as well as adjustment tabs at the biceps. There are also reflective inserts on the front of the jacket, on the back of the jacket and on the arms, so a good amount of reflectivity. Another feature that I found interesting is that the zipper is magnetic at its base and therefore comes together and stays together easier (while asking multiple people their thoughts on this setup the opinions were mixed, some found it a bit annoying to separate while others thought it was cool).
From a protection standpoint, outside of the abrasion resistance you do get full level 1 armor included including the back protector, which is really nice for the price. Included in the set are Armanox® shoulder armor, Armanox® elbow armor and a Armanox® back protector. The Hyper-Flo Air 2.0 Jacket also features shoulder armor/sliders on the outside of the shoulders.
Overall for the price point this jacket is solid, yes you are only getting Level A abrasion resistance and level 1 armor, but for the price of $179.99 getting a CE rated jacket with full armor is hard to beat. If you are looking to get AA and Level 2 you will have to jump up in price, but if you are on a tight budget this jacket is really good value for the money since you have everything included (if your budget allows it I always recommend getting more protection and higher level gear, but if it doesn’t this really isn’t a bad place to start). Another positive for this jacket is that styling is pretty minimal so it will match, or blend with most bikes and riding styles really making the jacket versatile. If you prefer a textile version rather than a mesh version check out the Cortech Hyper-Tec 2.0 jacket priced at the same $179.99 and sharing the same features and benefits. :: Damir 6/26/24
Cortech’s new line of jackets feature the Versa, Hyper and Aero lines all coming in Tec (textile) and Flo (mesh) variants, overall the price range is from $169 to $189 and personally I think the changes are minimal as all three lines are CE Level A rated with Level 1 armor included that your primary decision really is going to be which style you prefer or which of the minimal changes between the different lines that you prefer. Overall I think regardless of which line you go with or which variant (Tec or Flo) that you are getting solid value for the money and a great entry level jacket. :: Damir 6/26/24
