After returning my first choice by different brand because it came in 2 sizes larger then I would expected, this jacket is absolutely worth the money it fits perfectly and looks great. Really love the jacket super happy with this choice.

Stylish and Functional Jacket with a Few Annoyances
So let me start out by saying that I am 6'2", 190lbs and Average/Athletic build. I bought the Super Speed Textile as a substitute for the Air Flux jacket from Dainese in the grey color. The reason is that on some of the lower end Dainese jackets, the lower back coverage is non-existent if you are a taller like myself. The Super Speed Textile Fixes this with a somewhat elongated back panel. To put this in perspective, it goes about an inch below my belt and I wear low rise jeans. When seated on my bike (more upright) it just covers my belt.
As far as the Super Speed Textile is concerned, there is a lot to like in this jacket. Top notch forearm and shoulder protection, fairly sturdy material, great style, form fitting construction, an incredibly thin yet functional wind liner, and nicely designed vents on the chest, back, and arms. This jacket has the makings of a stellar textile jacket for mild to hot weather. I can't stress enough that the style of this jacket is top notch and realistically, it's the reason that I bought it.
But...
There is one thing I just don't like about this jacket and it is the way the shoulder pads are secured. In my other jackets, the shoulder pads are tucked into a pocket that prevents them from moving too much. On the Super Speed Textile, what you get is a loose Velcro fitting. The pads have a thin strip at the top and the bottom and fasten to the mesh liner of the jacket. While that would normally be fine, the mesh liner moves around on you and the pads have to be pulled back up onto my shoulders to fit underneath the aluminum sliders. It's not a deal breaker though but you would think for the price of this jacket, and Dainese's commitment to quality and protection, they would have a little better method of making sure everything stays where it should.
Overall I am very happy with this jacket and would buy it again in a heartbeat. I just wish that the shoulder pads were thought through a little better and that this jacket was available in the same Grey/Anthracite that the Air Flux is.
One last thing though. The wind liner offers very little rain protection. It's just too loose to help you out but that is why I have the Icon Patrol jacket.

Typical Dianese excellence regarding function , fit & finish
I've owned a Rev It! Kangaroo/cowhide
jacket for 3 years now - a fantastic jacket
no doubt , however it weighs a ton when
compared to the Super Speed . Dainese
has figured out how to slip first rate CE
protection into what is essentially a mesh
jersey - albeit a stylish, titanium shoulder
capped second-skinned mesh jersey .
Excellent airflow , great protection & sick
design .....Now if they can just use that
know how on a carbon helmet !

Without a doubt, the best jacket on the market!
Five Star over-all is the best I can grade it. What a fantastic piece. Measure and order accordingly, and it's a perfect fit. Haven't crash tested it, (thank goodness) but still have to give Protection & Durability 5 Stars as well, simply based on what I see in the jacket, and the way it's made, especially with the recommended Forcefield Back Pro installed. There are numerous other reviews on this one, and I believe all the details are outlined in all of them. I ride almost daily, and have close to 200,000 miles of riding down as a testament to knowing what works and what doesn't, and this Jacket does! Hats off to the Super folks at RevZilla for the great service, and even the free shipping upgrade, (so I'd get the jacket before my weekend ride). Current rides are numerous, as I do street, dual-sport, and anything in between.

Dainese does it again!
This jacket is awesome as with almost all Dainese products. The fit is amazing which unlike other brands that make you choose between S, M, L, on fabric jackets, with this you can truly get a custom fit.
My fitment
Athletic build
6' Tall 185 lbs 34 waist 40 inch chest
I got a size 52 and wear it with the back Wave back protector and it fits great. I could be a tad bit more snug when I am only wearing a t-shirt, but be mindful that a 50 with Dainese, has 1 inch shorter sleeves and I have longer arms and the 50 makes it look like the jacket is too small.
