Fit and comfort
The jacket fits good when with all parts (jacket + water layer + termite layer), but with just the jacket it's a little big (using 52), which causes the arm (elbow) protection to misplace even while riding, not sure if will remain protecting when needed. Maybe an arm adjusting band can fix that in future...
It's quite hot, just two air entries, not good with hot weather or sun. Will use more during the night or highway, not the best for city slow traffic and wind. A few additional air entries on the front would help...
Several good features on the jacket, like pockets and adjusting mechanism. Still missing the back protection, will buy it soon.

What you would expect from Dainese
The fit and feel of this jacket are amazing so far. Have not ridden with it yet, but will in the next week or two. Expecting good things but will update accordingly.
As far as the fit goes I am 5'10", 180lbs, 44" chest, 32" waist and I ordered the size 54, it fits just about perfect over regular clothes. I will be testing this with a heated Alpinestars vest over a regular button down or polo shirt.
More soon.
Cheers,

Great Design and Details
The Dainese EVO System D-Dry Jacket is one of the best Riding Jackets I've bought so far. First, the Jacket might seem to be a bit pricey but trust me, it's worth every penny you pay for. As for the style, gotta say I love it. It has an excellent design and Dainese has really paid close attention to the details. The company has paid close attention to design of buttons, zippers, collar, and vents and this is not something we would see in many famous brands. Also, the Jacket is very comfortable. It fits very well. As for the size, I am 6 Feet tall, and 200 pounds and size 52 fits pretty good. I wanted to go with size 54 at first but personally I like a tighter fit. The Air flow vents are placed under the arm pits (Very Good Feature), on the arms and on both sides above the hips.
Another jacket I can compare it with is REV'IT Sand Jacket. The Sand Jacket and the Dainese EVO System D-Dry are both comfortable jackets. As for style, I would rate the Dainese above the Sand Jacket, but I gotta admit that REV'IT Sand Jacket is very very comfortable and has better Air Flow system. I already had the Sand Jacket and wanted a more stylish alternative, so I went with this Jacket. Pick any of the two and you are still a winner.
As for Revzilla, they are awesome. They give you great product information both on the phone and their YouTube channel. They can even tell which size can fit you best on the phone if you give them your approximate measurements. As for shipping, I live in Canada and I received my package within a week even though there was long weekend holiday in the middle of the shipping period here in Canada. So, they ship super-fast!

stylish all around jacket that can get you through all seasons
the dainese EVO system d-dry jacket is a stylish all around jacket that can get you through all seasons, great for city commuting which is why i bought the jacket. that said it does have some limitations and could improve a bit in my opinion. although i haven tested it in the cold i don't think i will be touring with this jacket in the cold but should be fine for my 30 min city commute. the air G-2 back protector feels like its too big for the pocket and creates a bulge just below the neck, this does not affect fit or comfort but does give you an odd profile. wish the jacket was just an 1" or 2" longer. again a decent all around jacket that looks very stylish which i am happy to have in my collection.
