Sizing Information
We put the size Medium on Huey and the XL on Dewey and both fit just a bit on the large side. We also found the jackets to run big by measuring. Our primary sizing advice would be to order one size smaller than you usually wear in men’s clothing.
You can also choose a size based upon your chest and belly measurements by using the chart below. The max belly for any given size is about 2” less than the stated chest size. Choose a jacket size that is big enough for both your chest and belly.
The fit of this jacket can be adjusted both at the waist and in the sleeve bicep size. The sleeve adjusters are there so you can snug down the sleeve to better hold the armor in place and also to prevent any flapping at high speeds.
| Jacket Size | Our Estimated Max Chest |
Max Belly |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 41 | 39 |
| Medium | 44 | 42 |
| Large | 46 | 44 |
| XL | 48 | 46 |
| XXL | 51 | 49 |
| XXXL | 54 | 52 |

Our Two Cents
The Europa jacket is a great choice for hot summer riding. It includes armor and a removable waterproof and windproof liner, so it can get you through various riding conditions.
About Motonation gear: Motonation is a US distributor of many brands of motorcycle apparel and accessories in the US. One of their top brands is Sidi boots. They WERE the distributor for AGV Sport gear for many years before AGV Sport exited the US market in 2017. For 2018 Motonation developed their own line of gear to fill that niche.
The body of this jacket is largely mesh, so the wind will blow right through the shell which will make it perfect for hot summer months. It has a shorter waist favored by street and sport riders. The overall fit is more “American” than European so most riders will find the jacket to be roomy and comfortable for everyday use. The arms have adjusters so you can snug them dow and the waist has hook and loop straps for the same purpose. You should be able to customize the fit easily. The collar can be held open or snapped closed to fit your preferences as well.
Included is a windproof/waterproof liner that will cut the wind in cooler weather and also keep rain out in wet weather. If you use your own garments to layer under the jacket, you can use the windproof liner to cut the airflow and use this jacket in the fall and spring as well as the summer. The internal napoleon pocket is waterproof so you can store items here even when the liner is removed and keep them dry. The only issue is that pocket blocks some of the chest venting, but the jacket should still flow plenty of air to keep you cool.
Armor is included for the shoulders and elbows and you get a simple foam back pad as well. I like how the overall styling of this jacket is pretty neutral… it could work for all kinds of riders. They seem to be going for some of the urban/commuter riding base with the subtle styling here. The Europa is pretty darn nice jacket and you can’t beat it for the money! :: Mike, 04-24-20
