After finally getting a jacket to fit and waiting to use it I'm left with a bitter taste. This jacket has the potential to be a great jacket for its price but has been let down by the following points: 1. It's not bloody waterproof!!!!!! I finally got to go for a ride in a heavy down pour this arvo for twenty minutes to test it. There seemed to be some leaking on the front waist above the inner pocket on both sides. Whilst It didn't get me wet it shouldn't be there. Water was pooled in the right hand inner pocket. If the cold weather liner was in there probably wouldn't be an issue but sub-tropical summer in Sydney precludes the use of the liner. 2. The waterbladder is too small and seems to be designed to choke you if it's full. I ditched it before even getting on the bike to test it. Other brands of jackets have tried to have bladder pockets etc and failed due to the weight pulling on the back of the jacket. No major issue as I have a heap of other H2O systems to use. 3. The phone pocket is too small. Great for Nokia etc but useless for Iphone addicts. Now the good points: 1. The ventilation is ok especially for warm climates but I wouldn't use it above 35c in slow going. Mind you any one would over heat in that sort of going lol. 2. Once sorted with the right size the jacket has a very good fit and is good at all speeds. 3. The finished product is of a good standard and seems like it will be fairly durable. The features of this jacket have the potential to make it a beauty but it have been let down by a few major details. Overall an average jacket for the price and I would hesitate to recommend it.
Oh and I'm not going to ask for a refund as the bloody shipping costs and time aren't worth it. Not RevZillas fault, just how the cookie crumbles.

Excellent jacket. Fit is as described in the video. I wore it yesterday in 40 degree weather for about 6 hours. As a test, I did not use electrics other than heated grips. With just a thermal shirt, light fleece overshirt and the zip in liner, I was very comfortable on mt R 1100rs. No flapping or drafts up to 80 or so mph. Very comfortable fit with maybe a slight pushing of the back of the helmet by the collar or the jacket - maybe more of a problem on a full sport bike.
Plenty of waterproof pockets, H2O reservoir works well, no drips
Gussets at the wrist could have been tapered a bit more but the gauntlets of my winter gloves went over them ok
I would like to see jackets add a protected pass through on the left side for jacket electrics.
I recommend this jacket and Revzilla!

To confirm, the Kathmandu Jacket does come with CE approved D3O armor in the shoulders and elbows and a temperfoam back protector that can be upgraded to the D3O back protector.
