A versatile and stylish jacket for non winter season
This is another typical Dainese product, which means it is stylish, high quality but pricey. Just look at that D-Dry liner. It's nicer finished than some stand alone jacket!
The jacket has a fitted cut. Go with the size chart for a tailored look or go one size up if you want to layer up. It is chilly here in Canada so I wear a heated vest underneath. The arms get cold from lack of thermal insulation but the liner blocks wind well.
The jacket has decent amount of mesh so I predict summer will be no problem. I intend to use this jacket for summer time sport touring.

Awesome Jacket
I've worn this jacket since I received it last week in Melbourne infamous 4 season a day ranging from 11C to 30C. The jacket with the D-Dry inner jacket works like a charm. Considering that this is my first mesh jacket, I totally loved it to bits and can be slightly bias as I do not have another to compare to.
In the morning when the temperature is slightly lower, the D-Dry efficiently blocks the wind but I do feel the cold slightly, given that I'm only wearing a business shirt underneath. I reckon with thermals or a jumper, I could wear this for good 3.5 seasons.
With the D-Dry out, airflow is fantastic! I love that I could feel the air in my chest area, from my arms as well as the most important area, arm pits! However, the mesh at the back are great if you are not carrying a backpack.
Dainese jacket are slightly pricey but considering I'm getting a D-Dry inner jacket, I gave it 5 out of 5 for value. Although I have yet to experience the effectiveness of the D-Dry while it's raining.
Overall, size is an exact fit to me based on the measurement chart.

Exceptional airflow
I've been riding with this jacket every day for the past 3 weeks, through 70-80 degree days and 30-50 degree nights.
I will say that the "windproof-waterproof liner" is effective, but when you're getting below 50 degrees this jacket has so much airflow that you absolutely will need to layer a little bit. I wear a thermal shirt and a long sleeve shirt underneath it and I am comfortable down to about 35 degrees.
I would say this jacket is great for anything down to around 45.
The armor in this jacket is snug and is positioned exactly where it should be, it is very comfortable and you really don't notice it at all.
Being that it's a summer jacket the cuffs are also very slim, so fitting a gauntlet glove over them is quite easy, but fitting one underneath the cuff would be difficult.
Overall this jacket is exceptional for anything above 40 degrees, has great armor protection (room for a back protector as well !) is very lightweight and extremely comfortable. I would say all of the information posted by Revzilla is quite accurate and this is really a spring summer fall jacket (at least on the west coast).

great summer jacket
the jacket looks and feels great. great quality without a doubt. if you wear it without the waterproof lining you feel very comfortable on warm weather as the airflow is excellent. riding at night without the waterproof lining will make you feel a bit cold. keep in mind that wearing the jacket without said lining will make the jacket look just a little bit too big. once you have both the lining and the jacket on you, the fitting is excellent. haven't had the opportunity to check for it's waterproof ability.
however the only down side is that none of the 3 pockets are waterproof.

Stylish and Practical
This is an excellent jacket, although it certainly is a European styled product. The fit is slim, and it looks fantastic with slimmer cut clothing. If you are looking for something with more room, you should look elsewhere. Although, if fashion isn't your main concern, this jacket is also incredibly functional. As Anthony attests to in the video, the waterproof liner is a real boon. It isn't the most ventilated product, but its airflow is more than admirable. I would certainly recommend this product.
