Just curious if anyone has the Buell mesh jacket and/or knows how they fit.

I am 5'10" 190 athletic 41" chest.

You need Large, I am 6' 195lbs, had the XL and was just huge, sold it and got the L, this one is still baggy on the sides, but I guess they make all jackets for fat people only.

Large fits me well. I'm 210,5'7". I would guess large for you.

I wish I could try one on but every place I've been to doesn't have them.

They also tell me that if I order it from them so that I can try it on, then I have to buy it.

Kind of ridiculous if you ask me.

If anyone knows a place in Northern NJ or Eastern PA that has them in, or if you have one that I could try on, I'd really appreciate it.

Somewhere, somebody said that some of Buell jackets are made by Joe Rocket. Try their Pheonix model and see how it feels.

Can anybody confirm this?

what about the arm length of Medium compared to Large?

I like it more form fitting, but not if the sleeves will be short...

I wear a 42R jacket and the Large fits me fine. (6'0, 210) Sleeves are GTG.
hope this helps.

I'm exactly your size, maybe 5 lbs lighter, haha. The large fits me great, you'll be fine.

Hendro,
Sorry you had to order another. Mine is a little big also but I can slip on Polartec top for cold mornings.

I tried a Buell mesh jacket but thought for a mesh jacket it was kind of heavy. I live in south Texas where heat is a big issue and I wear bare minimum protection in the hot months (June, July and August). Down here riding year around is no problem. I have a leather jacket and a mesh jacket both have removable liners so I can pick my comfort level easily.
