Good jacket, slightly awkward fit

Generally a good jacket, obviously well made and comfortable. The vents are nice and I love the removable layers. Big pockets. The one problem I have with it is the fit. Despite being marketed as a "women's" jacket, it fits like men's clothing. It's snug in the hips but very roomy in the waist despite the cinches on the outside, the shoulders are baggy too and the sleeves are a little too long. I don't regret buying it, but I wish the fit was better.

Feature packed jacket, Astounding value when on sale

Notes on presentation, fit, and features: White color scheme is subtly offwhite with a grey tinge. I feel very noticeable and thus for safe, but the offwhite lends itself nicely to still compliment other white gear or paint/wrap that don't perfectly match. It also looks great with both sporty or traditionally styled helmets. The styling feels very modern and lends itself nicely to a large variety of bike styles. reflectors are present on the arms and the small of the back. As stated in the other review; the cinched waist does top out a bit early for those with a more prominent hourglass figure

Great jacket

It's a great jacket - sturdy, versatile and well cut. I ordered also Revit H20 jacket but I had to send it back as it was way too short on me. This one is perfect - it hits the middle of my jeans back pockets. The sleeves are also long enough. I was only worried about the jacket being narrow around my hips but there are two zippers at the back that can be unzipped to provide a bit more fabric at the bottom of the jacket. The top of the jacket is perfect as well, especially after adding the back protector. For reference I'm 5'7", 143 lbs and I ordered the jacket in size 44

Breathable 3 Season Jacket but not Durable

Very breathable and versatile jacket but ripped along one of the seams (without an accident and only occasional backpack usage) within a year. This jacket does though include higher levels of shoulder and elbow padding, which I really appreciate. My alpinestars jacket, on the other hand, which was perhaps a little cheaper, is more waterproof and has somehow survived 3 dirt / trail accidents and no rips whatsoever.
