    I have a Soyco jacket which I've owned about 2 years maybe longer. I used to use it all the time when riding. It's a red & black textile combo, with external and internal pockets, has a removable internal liner, which can feel a little bulky when putting it on however once worn feels like most other textile motorcycle jackets I have in my wardrobe.

    Some of the fabric sections that commonly come into contact with some of the Velcro patches have frayed somewhat, especially near the base of the main zip, which tends to fold over onto itself when sitting on motorcycle seats. In rain, if it was just a short sprinkling of showers the exterior wouldn't get too wet, but any heavy rainfall would result in fairly substantial water holding internally, but would still keep me feeling warm if the internal lining was worn too. Any clothing underneath though would become wet.

    I don't use it so much now simply as I have added enormously to my collection since then, and have lots of choices (perhaps too many). Can't remember what the jacket cost, but I got it from a shop at the Hangzhou motorcycle market. Worth more the money I paid which was around cny300 as I seem to recall, but can't be 100% certain of at the moment. Would I buy another one... yes.

    As an aside I've just taken delivery of a new Nolan N43 modular helmet... very nice... looking forward to trying that out this October holidays.

    Looking at a HJC IS-Multi and a GoPro camera to add to my vast collection of motorcycle goodies... can never have enough toys and trinkets ;)

    I've edited my reply... but in short yes... worth the money I feel and I'd buy again, without any hesitancy. Better some protective gear, rather than none...

    I would like to point out this brand moto-boy. They had a stand at EICMA 2011 in BJ as well, they seem to offer some quite high quality products. I almost bought a jacket + matching pants for about 2200 RMB, but I have this size problem being around 200 CM long. The length of the pants was a bit on the short side for me. They had another jacket/pants combination I really like, but the largest size was L. However I think they did mention something about it would be possible to make me a larger size for an additional amount.

    Maybe I should have my gf inquire if they can do a custom fit of a certain type or even exactly the way I wish!

    I saw that moto-boy on taobao. They had some sand color, nice looking set. I think the only dealer in BJ is near 5th ring road. I'll go there today. Here's the map:

    I have the same size problem.

    I have been to that shop, but they only have that high-end model (sand/grey colour) of moto-boy. The other model displayed at EICMA was blue/grey.

    Here is the sand/grey/black color one!

    Not sure where to post this crazy video, so thought I'd bump this thread on safety equipment. This video is pretty cool. Not sure this would work for motorcycling speeds and impacts, though.



    cheers
