Guys, this is the best summer jacket I've ever owned. It's not just good for the pricepoint, it's just good period! It's got it all, great fit good feel, sturdy-with-good-ventilation, excellent armor. I gave it a "4" for comfort because the collar is a bit rigid. A couple things: I've been dropping weight and I'm now down to 220 lbs. I'm 6'1, which puts me right between Large and XL according to the video and the size chart. I almost got a Large, but I opted for the XL. I am so glad I did, because it fit perfectly; like it was tailored just for me. So they run small and you should round up if your borderline. Also, buy the seasoft RV back protector (size 5). This comes with NO back pad at all, not even a lame one. the seasoft will impress you. However, when you put it in, it tightens the fit about half a size. So it will snug up the coat. So with that in mind, really plan out your sizing. I have REV IT gloves and I will just tell you I'll never go with anything but REV IT, now. Try it and you won't go back! Hope this helps.

This is my first true summer mesh jacket.

My biggest complaint about textile jackets in general is their flashyness, advertising and logos all over the place. This one isn't quite as bad as others I have seen, logos and advertising are minimal and not in your face. I got the silver/black.

This thing runs SMALL, use the sizing chart Revzilla provides and follow their recommendations. I'm kinda big guy. I would normally take an XL or 2XL. In this I needed a 4XL. The arms seem a bit long and elbow protections seems lower than it should. Sooo, not an ideal for for us fat guys.

Lastly - The effen zipper. Its backwards from every other zipper on every jacket I have ever owned since I learned how to zip my coat on my own. It takes me a minute or two to zip the dang thing up, I cant do it without looking. I feel like a moron trying to zip this thing up.

Overall I like this jacket for what it is and an getting use out of it now that things have warmed up. Thanks Revzilla.

I read the size charts and always watch the videos carefully before buying anything. Let me start by saying the Jacket was tight across the chest and biceps as I ordered a LG based on chart and my measurements. I'm 42 chest, waist 33. I had to return as the large (which is usually perfect fit ) was too uncomfortable. Revzilla was great as usual and exchanged for an XL. The extra large is OK, but not great fit for me.
I love the Revit Airwave Pant, great fit but not this new Airwave Jacket.

i just did 175+ miles in upper 70s to
upper 80s temperatures in full sun and
this jacket was great! it's a massive
improvement over a 3 - season First
Gear jacket i had for over 12 years...

i could really "feel" airflow on my
back, which was my favorite
feature. i only wish it had a few
more internal or external pockets. just
for something thin and small like a pair
of glasses or something. a very minor
nit pick.

Sizing? Size up one size! Yes, you'll likely need to size up one to fit your torso and your arms. Per Revzilla this jacket has a european fit. Which means tight arms and small torso. I am 5'9", 156 lbs, 42 inch chest (triathlete not much body fat). I always buy medium shirts & jackets. I bought a Large Hi Viz in this jacket along with the $50 back protection pad (extra not included). The Large fits perfect. Airflow? Is the jacket Cool in the heat? I live in North Carolina & ride a KTM 500 exc (50% road/50% trail-dirt). My road riding is local....with traffic lights. I don't see me being able to wear this jacket when temps are > 89 degrees even though the air flow is outstanding. I likely will wear a large T-shirt over or under some body armor. Style Points? Not only is the air flow outstanding in this jacket but this jacket looks "hot" per my wife. I should mention my wife loves the "motorcycle guy" gig.....helmet/boots/pants/jacket. She told me if I quit riding I will need to keep the motorcycle gig. Quality? Excellent quality material & stitching. Better than avg shoulder/elbow padding. Summary: per my daughter this jacket "rocks". I simply say its worth the $$. May 23, 2017

I got this jacket along with the Airwave 2 pants for a FL summer tour. I was disappointed with air flow until I discovered that loosening the pull straps to allow the jacket to luff makes a big improvement. I also have the Seesoft level 2 back protector. The back protector does feel slightly bulky, and does restrict air flow somewhat, but worth it for the level 2 insurance. I miss not having a split in the wrist cuff - no matter how much mesh there is you always need more air at 90+ deg F. I also wish they had put a couple vents front and back - seems insane to ask for vents against those massive mesh panels but cracking the front zipper is the only out which does help. The zippers and clips all feel sturdy, the stitching is precision cut. The jacket has very good styling and hangs well on my medium frame (5'10",180 lbs.) both standing and seated. Overall I'll say it was a good call; it will give me a high degree of protection while offering good enough ventilation (saying a lot for FL/summer).

I bought this jacket for my son who moved to Cambodia for some time. It's super hot there and protection is essential. This is a great jacket but we made an obvious oversight. The traffic moves very slowly! Most of the time he is moving under 20 miles an hour and so the air flow in the jacket doesn't really get going until you're moving at 25 or better. Unfortunately this means he's baking under the jacket. I encouraged him to keep wearing it despite the heat because the protection is more important.
As far as the fit, he's tall, 6'4 and super skinny so we got him a medium and it fit really well. We added the back pad and cinched the adjusters down to make a nice fit and keep the armor in place. The arms are ALMOST long enough, but he's a weird size with long arms so that's understandable. It's a really nice looking jacket and we got it in red to enhance visibility.

I live in Brooklyn and man can it get hot when I am stopping at lights every 5 feet, sitting in the sun. I dress for the slide, not for the ride, so I always have a jacket on. This jacket is fantastic. It has A TON of airflow when the bike is in motion, providing instant relief from the heat. It is great for the city, and will keep me super safe at city speeds. When I am on the highway, I am aware I am sacrificing some protection for the heat-relief, but honestly, it's a compromise I am willing to make in the summer.

I have worn this jacket about 6 times, and have gotten a compliment every time I have worn it. Also, oddly enough, I am getting more compliments on my bike too, which must be related. I am 6'1 and skinny, and as previously mention, the arms are a bit snug, even for me. The length is great in the back and sleeves. Anyway, I think the styling looks great and the jacket is really comfortable in my (standard) riding position.

In terms of features, it is pretty straight forward, no real frills, but does the job. That is what keeps the design so streamlined. My one complaint is the zippers of the front pockets are located too far to the sides. It takes some real awkward maneuvering (partially a result of how tight the sleeves are) to get my hands into the front pockets. This makes it difficult to remove things when stopped at a light, for example.

Overall, I really recommend this jacket. It's my new go-to.

Just rode a 2300 mile vacation using this jacket with temps ranging from 50-90 degF. Very breathable jacket, stylish, and good protection in the elbows and shoulders. I had to order an XL even though I'm usually on the small side of L because the arms were very tight. I'm not a gym rat or anything, so if you have large biceps this jacket might not be for you due to this issue. Only other issue I had with it was my neck-hair starting pulling at the collar when the snap was closed and I moved my head around. It can be very painful, but avoidable if you shave that area on a regular basis. I was unable to do so on my trip.

If you're looking for a jacket to wear in 70-85 degree weather this is the jacket to get. Great price point. Great fit. Great jacket.
