I bought a leather jacket for winter/cooler weather and was so happy with it. So, when it came to the heat of summer, I bought two biker vests: denium and black. The quality is so good, that I have to recommend these to women bikers out there. The vest is thick and well made, allowing for air flow. The mesh lining making the vest comfortable even in heat. It comes with a series deep pockets on both sides along with two gun (or whatever you want) pockets on the inside. The sizing is a tad small, but there are adjustments on the size to tailor it for a beautiful fit.

I was a little nervous about buying two sizes up, but after trying on a friend's vest over a couple layers - long sleeve shirt and a heavy sweat shirt - I ordered a 2xl and it's perfect. the front snaps closed over the extra layers, no need for extenders or to loosen the laces. Even if I wear it over a thin shirt, it looks fine (I don't like clothes that are super tight, anyway). The material feels broken-in and comfortable, pockets are easy access. The blue denim has a slightly faded look. The zippers on the outer pockets are a little stiff, requiring two hands to zip up but that doesn't bother me. I like the snap-close inside pockets for wallet and bike key.
