It's a 40" with 27" sleeve and length. This one fits very similar in the body but much more slim thru shoulders and arms.

That's what mine is! I would have thought you were a size bigger than me!

Mmmm, interesting... I really like that Vanson...

You may want a little more length in the body Carlos. I think you are an inch or two taller than me. The length on mine is 26" and that's an inch shorter than what I typically spec but inconsequential for me @5'11". It's a great jacket. Been wearing it all day and it's starting to yield a bit already.

What are your thoughts on riding with this jacket? Thinking it won't be your go-to on that front.

And thanks for taking the time to review. Very helpful.

No good for the bike. Far too restrictive and the hide is rather light despite its insane stiffness.

That stinks. Why would they remove the action back anyway? Those cross zips are always restrictive without the gussets...

I don't think this one was really designed with scooting in mind. It's just not the hide you'd want to ride in, at least not in my opinion. Shoulder gussets, like the ones on a model B would be cool I think.
