Hi Bryan, I thought the jacket should be more tight in the rear back area (you said in the video it fits you well without adjustments)... let's say I fall down, and I am being dragged on the road... the friction will most probably cause the jacket to roll up and leave my rear back unprotected... I know you can zip the jacket to special pants, but in case of just jeans... will this happen? can you please explain?
@mzvarik The fit of this jacket is spot on for me in the large size. TO address the concern you brought up most every jacket offers loops that allow the jacket to be attached to your riding jeans. These loops keep the tail of the jacket overlapping the jeans/pants. This keeps that area covered pretty well.
This jacket may have a lot of perf but it doesn't keep you cool. I over heat in this jacket often and I live in MN, out of the 4 jackets I own this one vents the worst. (3 of them are leather) I think this jacket needs some exhaust vents to suck out the air out. Also the red and black do not have the color coded tags. The flap that is supposed to connect to your pants is just for show. I can't even sit in a chair with out that thing popping off not to mention get on my bike.
@Bouncing1c What are the other 2 jackets that you have that are leather and vent better than this one? I'm in the market for a jacket.... bought a Spidi Gara, but it doesn't fit right, so I'm returning it and might get this Stinger or perhaps one of the ones you could recommend....
I just got this jacket, freaking awesome, size medium and it fits like a condom, u can get a size up but it will interfere when riding because it will bend more since its harder, u can take the liner off and it will extends about an inch more, even then its very warm inside, i rode today at 5 degrees with a short sleeve and yet i stayed warm, i suggest this jacket since sports bike track gear has it for 160 and my local motorcycle shop has it for 500.
i have a question about the jacket. i live in oregon and it gets cool during the winter as low as 26 F some times, but i really wouldn't be riding in that cool of weather. but during the summer it hits about 80-100, with removing the thermal liner could it keep me cool enough to keep the back and arm pit nice and dry?
@YukiLT i have this jacket, i just got it yesterday and i have to admit it is freaking awesome, for the price they sell for 160 bucks, it is totally worth it, it molded right into my body a few minutes after i put it on, with the liner inside, i could not feel any wind get in and it was like 5 degrees that day, i bought a size medium and it fits like a condom, remember that it will stretch over time.
Scorpion should have kept this in their catalog longer. I like the new Eternity that replaced this but this Stinger is just sick as hell.

I bought this jacket on sale, and I love it. The removable liner helps a lot in winter weather.

For daily riding how is the armor? Can I trust it, or should I get a KNOX Multi Sport Shirt, and if so, which size do you reckon I should get?

I love this jacket,
I contacted scorpion to see if they'll comeout with leather pants for men.
It may be a possible product for 2010
