Best motorcycle jacket I've worn.
The first thing that I noticed is the beauty of the jacket. Can't go wrong with any color as they all look really nice. The second thing is the price. It's quite expensive, BUT I have already forgotten about the price because to me, the perfect fit, the smell, the quality, comfort and awesomeness of the jacket in many ways overshadowed the price its price. Revzilla rewarded me a TeamZilla Cash Back - Now how freaking cool is that? Free Money! Keep in mind that this jacket though does not have many perforations, so it can get hot in there during hot days. I would suggest a jacket with many vents/perforations for the really hot summer days.

Great Overall Jacket
This is my first motorcycle jacket and Dainese has really out done themselves! This jacket is perfect for the unconsistent Minnesota weather. The sizing chart is a little misleading when it comes to this jacket, but the service at Revzilla is excellent. I am 6'0 185 lbs with an athletic build (42" chest) and I fit into a size 52 jacket perfectly, whereas the sizing chart states a size 54. The jacket has broken in after a few riding sessions and it feels amazing. High quality leather and protection built in which I hopefully will never have to test out. If you are looking for an all year round riding jacket this is a great buy!

Great jacket
I am a 44 chest and the 54 fits snug but well as leather should. It is a bit better at blocking wing than I thought it would be. Great for those cooler days but going to be ho I. Summer. Great I side left pocket for important items such as passport and wallet. Overall very well built jacket. Mine is already covered with bugs after 2 rides.

Amazing Comfort & Style
The Avro jacket is amazing on the bike, to be honest you feel bulletproof, which may or not be a good thing, depending on your application. On the Bike in a 3/4 the comfort is amazing. However, due to the pre-curve of the jacket it does give off the robot arms feeling. So if you are looking for a fashion statement, or you don't mind looking like a robot you might want to look further. With that being said I get compliments everyday I where it. The solid black on black looks wicked, and the fit is true to size. I have muscular shoulders with a slim waste and the 56 fit perfect (normally where 44). It is a very race style fit so if you have a bit of a belly either go on a diet, or look further, because when the fit in the arms is spot on you could wear this jacket for day at a time in complete comfort. Going up or down a size to force it to fit is not a viable option with a $700 jacket.

For Non-Perforated Leather...
Definitely one of the best that I've seen, if not the absolute best. I recently picked up an Alpinestars Atem jacket for the upcoming summer season, but I figured I'd take care of my shopping for once, and I picked up the Dainese Avro as well.
I rated the Bang for the Buck as a 3(which I interpret as average), simply because $700 is a bit much to spend on a jacket, no matter how amazing the quality, etc. In terms of the rest of the categories though, I'd say the jacket is almost perfect throughout.
With the liner in, I've ridden in high 30's and low 40's temps at very fast highway speeds. Note that all I had on under the jacket and liner, was a long sleeved t-shirt. At the high 30's/low 40's range, it's not exactly 'warm', but the ride is still comfortable enough. I used to wear my Northface parka on cold rides(I know that's not the smartest thing to do), but the Avro with the liner in provides similar cold protection to that, with infinitely less drag.
In terms of the style, I get a ton of comments walking around in the jacket, the construction of the jacket, along with the placement of the armor, is second to none.

My favorite motorcycle jacket
I have owned at least four different jackets in the past and this is by far my favorite. The quality is amazing, the leather is soft, and the protection features are fantastic. I'm 5'10" 198lbs with athletic build and I'm wearing the size 52. The fit is snug, but comfortable. Due to my build, I wear this jacket without the liner for more comfort. I have just enough room for the Wave G2 or Forcefield PK L2 back protector and the Dainese L1 chest protector. Initially, it was tight in the arms for me, but it is breaking in quite nicely now. The jacket matches up really well with the new Dainese Delta Pro Evo pants. I'm very happy with my purchase and Dainese is now my favorite brand.

After buying the Avro I won't wear any jacket that is not Dainese
I think just about everything the Avro offers is perfect. My chest size is 98cm, and size 50 feels right. I have awkwardly long arms but the sleeves still cover most of my wrists, even with a short cuff glove. This jacket is both super protective and stylish. I live in Boise so I'll ride in temperatures as low as 38 and high as 90 which makes the removable thermal liner my favorite feature of this jacket.

Worth every penny
Love this jacket! Dainese really paid attention to every single detail about this jacket. Love it how it has the ability to use during all season with the removable liner. When it's hot even with the all black that I bought, the airflow is great! Just at a stop it gets pretty hot while riding in mid 80degree weather. But as long as you're moving, the airflow is great! Protection is great on the shoulder and elbow/forearm. Fits nice, feels nice and looks nice!!! Pair these jacket with the Dainese Norsorex under pants and you're good to go. Thanks Revzilla for the fast shipping/customer service and to Dainese for the great jacket!
