How should a motorcycle jacket fit?

Question

I got an Icon Jacket from a friend.

He said its a mens but I think it might be a Womens.

The arms fit just right but the the bottom of the front zipper comes to the top of my pants. Is that right?

Answer 1

Sorry, but you must have clicked the wrong section, as this is the motorcycle RACING questions.

The best advice I can give you is you to post this question again.

You would get a better response in....

"Cars & Transportation"> "Motorcycles"

Answer 2

A true motorcycle jacket starts at the hips and is thick in nature. You can tell what s*x the jacket is made for, if the zipper is on the rightside, then it's a mens, if on the left side, it's woman. The back of the jacket around just above the waist should be thicker than the rest of the jacket. When you put on the jacket and zip it up, it should feel snug all around you, including your arms.

It is supposed to be longer in back so when you are riding your lower back is covered.  check out this site, it has some info on how they are supposed to fit.  It's about half-way down the page.
