Fit is varied between brands,,, T-master fits me, so I'm a dedicated T-master rider, especially when I need something that comes in 4XL. Currently very happy with my T-master Flex: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/t...-flex-3-jacket.
Love the design as the wind/rain layer is outside, mesh/armor in the middle, thermal jacket liner inside.
3X and 2X. About as light colored as you are going to get,,,, (That's specifically why I bought it) But,,, Both sizes tend to rub me in the throat,,, The snap cuffs are pretty 'chunky/large' and overall, it just seems to fit me like a cheap suit,,,
Back to fit on the Wife:
Wife fell in love with the Olympia Airglide 4. I believe it was an Airglide 3 she tried on at the store, and decided that 'Airglide was the one for her' Ordered the 4, was admiring herself int ehmirror, and I pointed out to her the shoulder armor was placed out way too wide, elbow armor way too far down the sleeves, and snug on her butt. (She's pear shaped)
Broken-hearted, she sent it back,,, Got a womens Joe Rocket Alter Ego and she's pleased as punch!!! Enough adjustment to fit her shape and the armor is all where it needs to be.
I can't honestly say how 'aware' she was of the armor placement when she was trying on the Airglide,,,, probably more worried about the 'pretty colors/patterns', but if it doesn't protect ya,,, it really doesn't matter what it looks like,,,,
