Great Jacket
I am 5'8-5'9 and weight 170lbs with a 39" chest. The medium fits almost perfectly. It is a little snug around the midsection, but the arm length is nearly perfect, so I don't think a large could have fit any better. My arms are average to just below average length for my height for what it's worth.
I have used the jacket for probably five hours of riding time so far and have zero complaints. I have not been able to test the waterproof quality of it, but I can tell it would keep me dry during a light rain.
It is a solid textile with a waterproof liner in it meaning that air flow is not the greatest, but that was known in advance of the purchase. The vents in the shoulders do allow for a good amount of air to come in however and I wasn't overly hot. It was upper 70's and sunny for the better part of my rides.
The one slight gripe that I do have is that to get the air to flow into the vents, I had to kind of push them open while riding to get the air to flow into them. I do ride a street bike, so the position of the shoulders is such that it does block those vents from being open, even if they're unzipped. It was a two second fix though and after that the vents worked properly. Not at all a deal-breaker.
I paired it with the bio armor back protector, because for an extra $30, it's pretty stupid to not spring for it. You can tell it's there, but it's not uncomfortable and conforms to your body when in the tuck (and probably upright for non-street bike riders). I did not notice any extra perspiration on my back due to the protector either. The vents in it do a good job.
Good price, solid quality, and excellent RevZilla customer service and shipping as always.

Great Jacket
This jacket is exactly how it is described. The inner liner is warm and when you remove it there is lots of airflow through the arms for warm days. The armor is good quality and the jacket has kept me dry in the rain. I am about 5' 8'' 160lbs and the medium fit me perfectly.

Great all season jacket
I'm 5'7" and 150 lbs and small fits me perfect. I've had this jacket for about six months now and I'm still in love with it. It looks and feels great. Good air flow in warm weather and great for cold/windy or rainy weather.

Nice fit, so far so good
Bought this jacket because I'm tall (6'-4") and thin (195) with long arms. Usually when I order an XL for the arm length, I feel like I'm a kid wearing my dad's coat. The European cut suites my frame well and surprisingly the sleeves are long enough. The Velcro on the neck closure rubs a little but not to the point of being annoying and will probably soften with wear. I bought the additional CE rated back protector and I do feel bullet proof in this jacket. Rode over 5 hours on two consecutive days with temps in the 40s and was very comfortable with just a t-shirt underneath. Not sure what the air flow will be like when the weather warms up, but the liner is removable.

This jacket does it all (except extreme hot weather)
I'm surprised at all of the value you get out of this jacket. With the inside liner in place and winter gloves on, I can comfortably dip into temperatures below 32 degrees. The wind and waterproof protection works as advertised, and I get plenty of compliments on the looks. The only nitpick I can point out is that the neck strap isn't long enough to stay retracted on warmer days (you can see that in the video, too) and the zippers are on the smaller side for use with winter gloves. Excellent quality throughout. It's not a hot weather jacket, but it's not marketed that way, either.

Great jacket for spring and fall
I purchased this jacket for riding in cooler (45-70 degree) weather, and it has been everything i hoped. I wouldn't want to wear this jacket in the hotter parts of summer, but its perfect for spring and fall riding. Hard to find anything to fault considering the low price.
-The jacket looks sharp (i have the black/red/white).
-The back of the jacket is longer than most, great for tall people like me.
-The fit is looser that some euro jackets, but not too much so. At 6'1" 160 lbs a size Large fit me well.
Overall it's a great affordable jacket!
