I like Revit gear - it fits me and is built to last and protect my body. I have a 2011 Sand Jacket, which I really like, but it literally has Revit written all over it so I was looking for something a little less flashy for day-to-day riding. I am 5'9", 170 pounds with a 43 chest and 32 waist. I ordered a size 50 and it fits perfectly with my Knox CE back protector. As with all good leather it is heavy and stiff (so, 4 stars on comfort), but will soften up in time I guess. It has all the features I want, including a nice phone pocket just inside the main zipper near the top. The ventilation is awesome so I look forward to wearing it this summer. It looks good - like a black leather bike jacket, and no Revit written on it - just the Revit logo on the back, and a smaller one on the front. I ride a 2006 FJR and this jacket feels really secure bombing down the highway at speed. It is warm with the two liners so definitely a 3-season jacket.

Yes, I recommend this product.

How tight are the sleeves on the rider's arms?

I have an A* T-Breeze and I find the sleeves too loose so the armor isn't snug on my arm. I feel that in the event of a crash, the armor will slide to the side and my arm will hit. I was wondering on the fit of the Ignition 2's armor and the snugness of the sleeves.
I just bought this jacket and have ridden it half a dozen times. The sleeves fit snug compared to my Sand Jacket (which has adjustments for sleeve fit). I have an athletic build so my arms might be a bit larger than someone who doesn't workout, but I find the fit tight enough and I suspect that the armor would more or less stay put if I went down in this jacket.
