    Standard Fit Suit, and Leather Jacket Sizing

    To order a standard size custom made suit, please refer to the chart below to determine your size. Standard size suits fit a wide range of riders. You also have the option to have a "Split Fit" suit custom made if you are larger in the upper portion of your body than the lower. For example, you may fit into a size 50 suit from the waist up and a size 48 suit from the waist down. We can fuse the two size patterns together and custom make a "Split Fit" suit that will fit you best and cost less than a full custom size made to measure suit.

We believe the best way to gage what size will work best for you is to closely follow our size chart.

What is a "Fit Sample Suit"?

Fit sample suits are suits that we have in stock and send to customers in order to insure they've chosen the proper size before we move forward with building their custom suit.

They're offered at a discounted rate because they are only available in the two colorways shown here, and they offer no additional customization (Names, Logos, Etc...). Other than that they are no different than any other EVO suit we sell.

Can I exchange or return a fit sample suit?

Yes, fit sample suits can be exchanged for a different size if the one you order is not correct, however you will have to cover the cost of shipping. This only applies if no customization whatsoever has been done to the suit. There is no return or exchange offered for customized goods.

Generally custom crew shirts can be completed and shipped within 2 WEEKS of design approval.

Custom Logos

Any of our avialable logos can be put on crew shirts. Or if you have your own logos in vector file format place them in a zip file and upload them in the logos section.

  1. Well Made & Great Value 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 17th Sep 2017

    This jacket is a great value. It is true to size and fits well. I wear a 44 long suit coat. I got the large jacket. I only wish the sleaves were 2 inches longer. I took the liner out and will only use this jacket ad my summer jacket. I wear an XL in the winter and use layers under. I found this jacket to be perfect for 75 to 85 degrees. A little to warm over 85 degrees. I will definitely purchase additional items from Pilot.

  2. Nice Flow 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 24th Jul 2017

    Just did 3 days of adv riding in this jacket, it worked great for keeping the air flowing and temps down at high altitudes and 90* sunny days. Wish it was a little longer, but that may just be my belly causing the rise. Fits true to size.

  3. Well designed and nicely crafted... 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 1st Jul 2017

    Years ago I bought a JR Phoenix. Could never bring myself to wear it because it felt too flimsy. The Direct Air V3 feels much more substantial and solid. The summers up here in the mountains of New Mexico don't feature the stifling heat and humidity experienced back east so this Direct Air V3 works well in my conditions. Typical high quality Pilot gear.

  4. Nothing but a breeze 4 Star Review

    Posted by on 14th May 2017

    Just took the jacket out for the first spin. Feels well made, looks good. Fit is a tad to the small size. The jacket it replaces is a 56. This is XXX, 52-56. Slightly snugger fit, a little short waisted, but real comfortable when rolling.

  5. Nice jacket and good value 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 9th May 2017

    This is a well made jacket with good quality and features at this price point. I doubt I'll ever give $500 for a jacket so I don't know how this compares to one of those, but it is hands down better than 2 other jackets I have that were around this price, and it is just as good as a $300 jacket that a friend gave me.

    Most importantly, it breathes better than any of those. I need an air conditioned jacket for these Tennessee summers, but this might be about the best I can do otherwise.

  6. Well thought out Jacket for the $ 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 16th Feb 2017

    I just received this jacket so this is my first impression. It is very well thought out with many nice details like the coin pocket on the sleeve, the red markers for attachment points/pockets and the high quality easy to remove breathable rain liner. The jacket looks good and isn't all Logoed up which I like. The only thing I see that can be improved is the extremely small access opening for the back protector pad which I really struggled with (like for 10 minutes) when I replaced theirs with a Forcefield level 2 shape 002 pad which fit perfectly after I finally got it in the pocket. The sizing runs about right with me using a large for a 43 inch chest plus using the thicker Forcefield back protector and their Core full V2 Chest Protector (cool that the jacket has the matching Velcro for very easy attachment). I'll add my thoughts on riding in it after I put some hard road miles on, but for now I give it 5 Stars with the only warning being if you're going to change out back protectors the pocket opening is only about 5-1/2 inches wide.

Custom Size Suits

To order a custom size suit, you will need to do the following to ensure a proper fitting suit. Please call before taking measurements for pointers and advice. We are not responsible for the improper measurements supplied. We are more than happy to take the measurements if you would like to schedule an appointment with us.

  1. Download either the measurement form for men(.pdf), or for women(.pdf) and read in full before taking any measurements.
  2. Take three pictures of yourself (See Customer Image Examples) from the front, side and back (full frame, from head to toe with no angle) wearing nothing but compression shorts (and a sports bra for women) with your waist line clearly marked as asked for on the measurement form. A 1/2 inch red VELCRO® Brand fastener tape is preferred to mark the waist line. It is easliy seen and will hold its place for consistency. This is to be a level line from all sides on the body.
  3. Send in your measurement chart by email, mail or fax.
  4. Call 800.299.9651 to place your order.

All length measurement points should be marked with an ink pen on the body for exact start and stop points. This will ensure there is no overlap when taking these measurements. Pilot is not responsible for incorrect measurements sent to us or suits made from them. Please call with any questions about this.

Product Description

Redesigned, From The Inside Out

The Direct Air has been our single most popular jacket, in large part due to it's versatility. With a full mesh exterior, removable waterproof liner and Pilots quality assurance it was a no-brainier go-to jacket for many riders.

With the Direct Air V3 we knew we wanted to upgrade the water-poof liner to a breathable REISSA membrane in order to get away from the traditional, rubberized liner. In the past concerns over the durability of REISSA had stopped us from doing so. However, with the V3 we came up with the innovative solution of pairing the REISSA material with a mesh backing. As a result the Direct Air has become even more versatile and packs even more value than ever before.

 

All New Styling

We took the best aspects of the original Direct Air and refined the look even further.

People loved the subdued, not overly branded styling of the original and we've carried that forward. No huge logos or zany colors, just clean lines and quality construction.

CE Force Active Armor

The elbow and shoulder armor in the Direct Air V3 has been upgraded to a completely new composite material.

CE approved Core Force Active armor technology made of polyurethane foam is soft and flexible, but hardens and absorbs upon sudden impact.

Attention To Detail

We've built a reputation for quality and we intend to uphold it.

All key impact zones are double layered, and triple stitched for increased durability.

Bar tack finishes are used on all key seams and the highest quality fabrics and trim pieces are sourced for each garment.

 

Intelligent Design

One of the most common compliments the original Direct Air received was that it was clearly designed by people who actually ride.

Helpful niceties like our at hand wrist pocket, Red Tab system, heated vest control pass through, key clip, integrated zipper pulls and a host of other little touches make the Direct Air a pleasure to ride in, everyday.

REISSA Removable Membrane

One of the major changes for V3 is the addition of a REISSA waterproof, breathable membrane. Unlike the rubbery, heavy liners used in some products, REISSA is a lightweight breathable material that keeps water out while allowing heat and moisture to escape the body.

The result is a jacket capable of flowing tons of air, or transitioning into a shield against rain and wind when the weather turns.

CORE Chest Protector Compatible

All Pilot jackets are compatible with our unique line of CORE Chest Protectors.

CORE Chest Protectors attach to female Velcro sewn to the inner wind flap of the jacket. This allows the rider to position the chest protector vertically according to their personal preference and frame size.
