Jennifer E. from Utah

This jacket has been great. I've put over 13,000 miles on the Versys in the past 15 months and I was wearing the Cortech Women's LNX Leather Jacket for most of them. It only took a couple of rides to "break in" the jacket, and it has been super comfy ever since - even with all the armor. I have a textile jacket that is not as comfortable because the armor is too stiff. The fit on the Cortech LNX is great and flattering. I love that the jacket is long enough in back - it does NOT pull up to the middle of my back once I'm on the motorcycle. This is REAL gear for women, not cutesy crap. I love the stretch panels and the vertical zippers for fine-tuning the fit. I also appreciate the "tab" snap at the neck for wrapping my earbud cable around a couple times to keep my earbuds from getting pulled out of my head if I accidentally tug on the cable. If I could change anything about the jacket, it would be this: * some kind of chest vents for more airflow across my torso * warmer sleeves on the liner - I assume they're thinner to decrease the bulk, but I use this jacket mostly for commuting and I mostly wear short sleeve shirts to work. So when it's only 35*F on those cold spring (sometimes winter) mornings, I have to add extra layers just to keep my arms warm (the arms are perforated from wrist to shoulder which is great in the summer!), which adds bulk to my torso, which is uncomfortable. * I'd make the zipper of the inside pocket be at an angle, rather than horizontal, so I could zip / unzip it with one hand. * Zipper pulls on the pocket zippers so I can easily zip and unzip with my gloves on. I should have added these myself by now... Compared to the great features of the jacket, my "wants" list is pretty small. I like this jacket so much that I'm considering getting another one since the price has dropped even more (and I got mine at an awesome price!).
