I wanted no chest pockets and ventilation in one vest and this checks both boxes. Perforated cowhide keeps me cooler on summer rides. The cropped length stays out of the way on the bike. Wish the leather was a touch softer at first but it is coming along.

Rode through Texas in August wearing this vest and the perforations genuinely help. It's not like wearing a mesh jacket — it's still leather — but there's enough airflow through the holes that it takes the edge off. No center pocket, clean front panel, 1.4mm cowhide. The perforations are uniform and tight, not sloppy.

I'm in Florida and I've been avoiding leather vests for years because the heat is brutal. This perforated NCP Lowlife changed my mind. The ventilation from the perforated cowhide is real and meaningful when you're doing highway speeds in 90-degree weather. The leather is still 1.4mm thick so it's structurally the same as the solid version — you're not giving up durability for the airflow. No center pocket gives the perforated surface an uninterrupted look that's actually kind of handsome. The cropped fit sits clean at my waist. I've ridden in this through some serious heat and I'm not going back to solid leather for summer riding. If you're in the south or southwest, this is the version to get.

The perforated cowhide is noticeably cooler than my old solid vest on summer rides. It looks clean with the NCP front and the cropped fit is spot on. Only note is the perforations make it slightly less rigid out of the box but it doesn't affect how it sits on the body.

definitely size up, had to size from an XL to 2XL because I didn't really read the description or size chart. agree on quality 10 out of 10. Really great vest if not the best Ive owned.

It's been a week since I received my vest. I love the fit. Excellent quality.

Love the airflow and the construction, but I’d love a slightly deeper inside pocket for longer rides. Still, it’s easily one of the best vests I’ve owned. High marks across the board.

highly recommend been wearing it a month and looks so good the cropped perforated all excellent quality like no other.

Best perforated cut I ever owned. Most others were garbage from China or somewhere. Legendary USA is definitely worth the money for the quality. Well done boys.

The perforation is more than just a design—it actually works. My back stayed cool the entire time I was out. Great fit and no weird stiffness you sometimes get with new leather.

Legendary nailed it with this one. I wore it through a full-day poker run and forgot I even had it on. The airflow makes a huge difference, especially when stopped in traffic. Looks aggressive, feels lightweight.

It’s tough to find gear that performs and looks this clean. No complaints at all. From the crop to the breathability, it’s everything I wanted in a summer riding vest.

I was hesitant about a perforated vest at first, but this is next level. You get airflow AND protection. Leather’s premium, fit is dialed-in, and it works great over a short-sleeve or thin base layer.

Took this vest on a 400-mile weekend ride and it never disappointed. The airflow was real, the cut stayed sharp, and I didn’t feel overheated once. Top-tier leather and seriously solid construction.

Absolute must-have for hot weather riders. The perforation lets the vest breathe without losing any of that thick, quality leather feel. Cropped just right, no flap, no bulk. Fit is athletic but comfortable.
