I am looking at BMG Adventure jacket, but I am not too sure about the fit. I live in Edmonton, AB, Canada and I don't think there is a place here that carries these jackets, so I can try it on. I am 5'7" and 44"-45" chest. It looks like I should be getting XL but I am concerned its going to be too long. Are they on a long or short side? Until now I have been using Fieldsheer Quatrro size L and the fit was perfect, but this jacket is much too hot and non-venting for summer riding. Any tips?
I found the old version (w/zip off sleeves) to be very true to size. The new version seemed to run a bit larger. As far as length goes, do you mean sleeve or torso length?
I'm the same size as you and just received my new BMG Adventure jacket (large) in the mail yesterday, love the look fit and feel of it, the sleeves seemed a bit long when I first put it on but I just pushed them up and tightened the ends with the velcro straps and all was good, plus the longer sleeves are better while on the bike. I also ordered the ezeon pants, but they were to big (my bad) but I just talked to them today and will send them back for a smaller size.

Finally got around to finishing the jacket review: http://7plus8.blogspot.com/2013/10/gear-review-belstaff-adventure-jacket.html
Are you going to have a clearance sale or any sort of discounts on the 2013 jackets after the holidays?
THe new line just came in 2 weeks ago. Most of the 2013 line sold before it landed since we are about 20% below the price on Belstaff.com and we stock the items in the USA so no import duty. What jacket are you looking for I can tell you if we have any left in that model and if we are going to discount them anymore. Paul www.BritishMotorcycleGEar.com
I'm looking at getting a Challenger, but I would also consider the Adventure or Discovery. Are those both a waist level cut? I wear a US42 in coat size, so it looks like the jacket would be a Large by your sizing. Thanks!
That would be the correct size for you.. Large. These are both traditional 3/4 length Length Jackets Paul www.BritishMotorcycleGear.com

Question about your Pioneer pants. The inseam listed on the site, does that already include extra length for motorcycle seating? I.E. should I get my regular inseam, or add an inch to it?
