Got this on sale in black. I am 5'10" 185lbs. Got the large and fits well. Liners work well in stopping wind and insulating. Feels safe as well, like you dive off at 30mph and walk away.
This is my first winter jacket. I used to layer up in three light jackets and still be cold. I should have bought this long ago. I am riding safer and more comfortable.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Dainese Air-Frame Textile Jacket Focus Continued comfort under changing weather conditions with excellent ventilation is hard to achieve in a ventilated jacket because whenever the temperature drops, the wearer immediately feels cold. In this case, the Air-Frame jacket offers the best solution by combining the ventilation achieved by ample inserts in mesh with protection against cold air offered by a remarkably lightweight windcheating insert. Provided with ample adjustment possibilities, jacket-pants fastening zip, homologated protectors and a pocket for a G-type back protector, this versatile jacket also comes in a ladies version. Features Removable composite protectors certified to EN 1621.1/97 Standard Boomerang fabric Quick Dry fabric Mesh fabric. Neck adjustment Waist adjustment Wrist adjustment Sleeve volume adjustment Jacket-trousers fastening system Removable wind-breaker liner Sanitized lining Pocket for backspace G1 and G2 Reflective inserts 2 outside pockets Internal pocket

Put it like this. I have gone down twice in this jacket. Once in a low side skid in a bend, and once on a blow out. Totally unscathed and unbruised. Plus, I looked good and was comfortable while I was wearing it too. I don't think I'll ever by another jacket brand again.

Well, I have had three blow outs in the past 6months. What are the odds? Prior to this, I hadn't had a flat in over 10years. Needless to say, after the third flat, I bought a tire plug kit. My buddies even bought one for me too. With this one, at least you can inflate the tire enough so that you can limp home.

This boot is comparable to $300 or $400 boots I have evaluated on this site. The protection is superp and the comfort is spot on. I rode with them all day, and didn't even notice them. If you are intested in protection, comfort, and good looks, then this is the boot for you.

Correct ventilation is ensured on the back of the hand and inside the fingers even when temperatures rise.

Picked up these gloves because I really wanted some that were quality as well as protective. Dainese is a brand I know that I can trust after crash testing. The only drawback is the price, however it is worth it. These gloves look good, are quailty, and very protective.
I ordered the medium according to the size chart, and they felt tight as h*ll. It even left marks on my hands. They did stretch and are now comfortable after a few rides. So if you order and they feel tight, give the leather time to relax. Gloves should feel like gloves, and not like bags on your hands.

Previous jacket was a Dainese, the cheapest type at that. So when I lowslid in it on a road about 35 or 40mph it performed more than admirably. My forearms were protected and shoulders were protected. I was sore everywhere, except my upper body. The mesh part of the jacket was ripped but held up.
Long story short, tried to get another Dainese leather jacket, but they are expensive. Went with this instead and wish I hadn't. It looks cool, but isn't too comfortable.
Worst part of the jacket is the armor. It doesn't even cover your entire forearm. I even tried swapping the armor in the Dainese into this jacket but it didn't fit.
Oh, and if your are sweaty or your arms are damp, you won't be able to get the jacket on or off with ease because of the water proof layer.
In short, it will get you buy if you need some type of protection, but I know my arm would be messed up bad if I had crashed in this thing. Saving up for a Dainese Alien.

Powerlet Rapidfire Jacket Liner With Dual Wireless Controller Package Powerlet's RapidFIRe Heated Jacket Liner packaged with includes the Dual Wireless Remote Heat Controller. Controller receiver is pre-installed and Pre-synced for your convenience. Powerlet's new RapidFIRe Heated Jacket Liner with CNC (Carbon Nano Core) heating uses Far Infrared technology to provide fast, deep, soothing warmth. Now the warmest liner on the market at 105 watts! Built in stuff sack and no annoying heating wires of any kind! Stay Warm While Riding Powerlet's 105 watt RapidFIRe heated jacket liners pack down to a very small size to fit on the bike when not in use. Not only the warmest heated clothing available, but ProForm stretch panels also make them the most comfortable. We recommend using a temperature controller with the RapidFIRe 105 watt jacket liners. The RapidFIRe Advantage The most unique feature is the heating system that we incorporate into every liner. Using the latest in Carbon Nanotube technology, Powerlet's Carbon Nano Core panels heat quickly and evenly without the hot spots or long heat times other conventional wired garments require. Additionally, Powerlet is the ONLY manufacturer to offer a dual heat setting that permits you to switch the total consumption to not exceed 60 watts. This means those of you who have bikes or vehicles that do not have the electrical output capacity to power a traditional or competitors liner can rest assured that the RapidFIRe line will get powered without draining your battery and leaving you stranded. Additionally, Powerlet once again incorporated the ProForm stretch panels that provide three key advantages non-binding movement, maximum heat transfer and simple sizing. While all three are very important, maximum heat transfer is perhaps the most important. For maximum heat transfer the heated garments must be close to the body. A long sleeve T-Shirt is recommended under the heated liners. A heavier layer can be worm over the garment. Other heated clothing manufacturers provided many sizes to attempt to create a snug fit. This often leads to a more complicated purchase and the potential improper fit if your weight changes. RapidFIRe 105 Watt Jacket Liner Features Dual Heat 105 / 60 Watt convertibility by a simple cable disconnect Wind and water resistant Polyurethane coated nylon outer shell ProForm stretch panels provide comfort and simple standard sizing Ultra thin design provides comfort and small storage Comfortable heated Polartec fleece collar wicks moisture Zippered pockets manage power cables Handy built in stuff sack allows for storage on the vehicle Unique sleeve finishing reduces bulk around wrists Glove connectors are located at the ends of the sleeves Heated on the front, back arms and collar - Full heat coverage Quick heat time of 20 seconds or less on the jacket liners Designed For A Lifestyle Powerlet designs heated garments for people who rely on their heated clothing for both comfort and safety. Like our customers, we enjoy a lifestyle utilizing convenient modern electronics and wear our heated gear for commutes to work and trips across the country. Built For A Lifetime Powerlet seeks the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. All of our heated clothing products are developed and tested in the USA by people who ride regularly. Quality components and attention to detail ensure Powerlet products resist wear and corrosion to last a lifetime. All Powerlet RapidFIRe heated clothing carries a lifetime warranty on the electrics and a lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects.
 

If I have the cayenne jacket, what layers if any do I need to wear with the jacket liner? Also, can you recommend a glove to go with liner?

I wear a medium glove normally in revit.
