well made jacket but missing comfort features
Rough edges and sharp edged zipper make this otherwise great jacket uncomfortable on long trips.

Great jacket!
I just recently purchased this jacket after multiple searches and reviews of many others. With great dissapointment with the other shops and numerous fittings, I walked into Revzilla and tried out a few more jackets. This jacket is the best of both worlds, a leather and textile combo for those who like to ride in the cooler and warmer weather. The water/wind liner as well as the thermal vest have all come in handy. With all liners in, I feel very little, if any, airflow through the jacket. It was perfect for the days that were on the cooler side of 50 degrees because we all know its colder while you're riding. I had it out on the recent 80 degree days and removed all of the liners and opened up the sleeve vents. Nice airflow and still felt proctected and the fit was still right on. I do wish there were a few more vents but with the liners removed, the jacket was great. All in all, I am very happy with this jacket and it looks incredible and fits nice and snug. No bulky shoulders and not extremely short like i have found with other womens motorcycle street style jackets.

I love, love this jacket!!
I am completely obsessed with this jacket!! I am a fairly petite woman that stands 5'3", 120 lbs, broad shoulders and narrow waistline (26 in) from years of being an athlete. Typically, I wear XS or S depending on the brand, so I was a bit wary about sizing because Rev'It! typically runs small. Finally, I decided on the 2-tone, size 36 rather than the size 34 and I'm so glad I did. It fits perfectly!! With all layers zipped in, it's snug but I like that because it prevents cold drafts from sneaking in on those chilly days. I have actually worn 3 extra layers underneath (base layer, t-shirt, and zip-up) when I was in Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park in September and I didn't feel too restricted to where it would be uncomfortable or unsafe to ride. Like I said, I like my gear to be snug on chilly days. If you happen to have a significantly larger waistline, this jacket may not be very comfortable with all layers zipped in. With the waterproof layer, I stayed dry in a 40-minute, complete downpour. With the layers removed, it's still a superb fit for me....obviously, there's a bit more shoulder and arm dexterity. There's adequate ventilation on those hot days. This really is a beautiful and extremely well made jacket. I wouldn't think twice about getting another one if I ever needed it, but I know I will never have to because it will seriously last forever. I also purchased the upgraded back protector. Rev’It! rocks!! You won’t be disappointed with any of their products.

Quality, good looking combo jacket
I bought this for its leather protection, and mesh air flow. It looks good and feels good on. I wish I bought a size larger. I am about 5'9" 135 lb. Like Kat in the video., I spoke to a sales rep and they recommended size 38. It doesn't leave room for layers underneath. It's better when you remove the vest liner and rain liner. I have a very skinny neck but the collar feels tight in the riding position. I also.have the Gear 2 pants and when zipped together, feels like it pulls in the riding position. There is no back protector,.but i wear the one I wear on the track for everyday riding. It fits fine under the jacket. The cuffs are nice to fit into gauntlet gloves with 2 buttons to change tightness. The zip arm mesh allows some air. The changing of liners isn't as fast as my other jacket... So I tend to be lazy and leave them out. The collar is comfortable. I have worn this in a 50 degree morning & 90 degree afternoon. My zipper is really hard to start, seems faulty, may need to look into this!

Great Touring Jacket- rain, water, or sun
I went on a 10 day motorcycle camping trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward this spring, and needed a jacket that I could wear to keep warm in the cold, keep dry in the rain, and could wear in the warm weather without getting too hot. And I wanted it to be leather, or at least partly leather. The Ignition II jacket fit the bill.
It rained for most of the trip, and this jacket actually kept me dry. The zip-in waterproof layer worked flawlessly, and the jacket itself helped repel the water too, so when I got off the bike, the jacket wasn't soaking wet. I could put it back on after stopping for lunch without being soggy. I zipped it into the Ventura pants (which I am also extremely pleased with) and stayed warm and dry the whole time.
I'm even wearing it now, commuting into Boston this dry summer heat. As long as I keep moving, it really don't get too hot. The venting slits on the arms and the mesh on the chest work really well.
So far so good. I really can't be more happier with this jacket. It's a size 42 and fits well with the layers in, and is a little big when worn alone. I'm a size 36 chest and a 12 waist.

Great features
This jacket is full of features that makes it a great option if you're looking for a 3-season jacket. It flows enough air through to keep me cool in 80s-ish weather as long as I keep moving. I haven't tried it in the cold or the rain yet, but the 2 liners (one waterproof, one thermal) can be worn together or separately, which is great for someone who doesn't want a closet full of gear. The fit is good, practical but distinctly female, and the armor sits in the right place...though for the price it would be nice if they already included the upgraded back protector. Considering the versatility of this jacket, it really is worth the price.
