Awesome
Can't think of anything bad to say about the jacket, well maybe could have come with a decent spine protector but I got it on sale and ordered the bio armor spine guard and its perfect. Ventilation is good, wore it on a 25 deg day(liners removed) and could barely tell it was on. Haven't tried it in the wet yet. Great protection, looks great and great price. Highly recommend

Nice jacket
Nice features, looks good, feels great. I would happily buy this jacket again.
I'm 6'2" 195lbs, 43.5" chest and I got an XL which fit a little big around the stomach but I was able to adjust it to fit pretty good.

great jacket
Had this jacket for a few days so far pretty happy with it. We are just heading into winter in Australia and I wanted a warm jacket to replace one I damaged. It has not got too cold yet, temp is still a few degree s above freezing and the jacket has kept me warm. In a couple of months we will regularly fall to minus 6 which will test the jacket but I think based on performance so far it will be fine. Jacket is very comfortable to wear. Bad points - you need to close 2 zips to close the jacket and it is easy to catch the material in the zip. I ordered an XL which fits my 6`3 200lb body perfectly.

Great touring jacket
I rated fit as small because I usually where an XL jacket. But i ordered a XXXL and it fit like a glove except for arm length. The sleeves are just a tad long, but totally well within tolerance.
Have only used it a few times. I bought it as a winter/spring transition jacket . Everyone's cold tolerance is different, but for 30 degree day this jacket is does me just fine.
Great wind protection at the neck.
Sleeves are snug and not bulky so glove gauntlet fits nicely over top the cuff.
The huge pockets on the front are great too.
Good value for money spent.

Great jacket!
Bought this for riding through the rainy season in Monterey, CA. Having the two liners provides great flexibility, but sometimes takes some effort keep anything from bunching up. Also got the Bionic Air Back Protector (large) which fits perfectly. The sizing on this jacket (2XL) is a bit bigger than on the leather Alpinestar jackets I've tried on previously.

Good Jacket
Spent about a month checkin out reviews before zeroing on the Koln, wanted something that was customizable to wear here in india, but that could deal with variation in temperatures, Koln worked out perfectly, so far.
i'm, 6'2" about 80kgs, i ordered an XL and it was perfect,snug & comfy with all the liners in, and just right with the liners out.
Have worn it in the rain and its fared well so far.
Will only be able to check how warm it is later this year, but seems that it will be fine.
Works really well with the vents open in the heat, of course a bit of heat build up when ur at a standstill, but nothing you can't handle.
Rides:
Royal Enfield 500
Royal Enfield 350
Iron 883
P.S killer customer service from revzilla, definitely gonna buy from you'll again.

Great for cold
I bought this jacket only for the winter months with temps below 55 degrees. So far, my coldest ride was in 40 degree weather going 75 mph on the highway -- I can't calculate what that made the wind chill, but it was below freezing. Not one hint of cold got through the jacket. It's warm, snug, and the removable liners (can take out one or both) are a good feature if I do decide to wear the jacket in warmer weather.
The only thing I'd change is for the jacket to be a little less snug around the throat, but it isn't anything too uncomfortable.
