I get tons of compliments on this jacket from those who ride (particularly girls on scooters) and tons of surprised post-hug reactions from friends/family when they realize I'm wearing an armored moto jacket. This thing is stylish.
My favorite things? The tall collar, large armor coverage, lack of conspicuous logos and surprising weather resistance.
My least favorite things? The material isn't the most confidence inspiring for high speeds. I've gone down in gravel at around 15mph and the forearm material tore easily. Fortunately, the elbow pads cover most of the forearm and and shoulder pads also have good coverage to make up for some of it.
In short: this is an awesome jacket for day to day around the town riding hopping between cafes, clubs, bars, etc. Although I've worn it on longer tours and even some fire roads, I'd suggest something made from a more durable material.

As my first motorcycle helmet, I feel pretty spoiled with the features of a modular helmet at such a great entry price. It's really handy being able to pop up the face for visibility when backing up my bike or to talk while parked on a break.
My main beef with the helmet is that the chin guard plastic seems very flimsy and seems like it'd be the first to go in a crash. I'm putting my trust in the DOT sticker and well known brand.
Also, the latch's inside cover on the chin guard was cracked when I got it. This appears to be from poorly fitted plastic. I'm fairly certain the piece is superficial (not related to function or integrity), so I've decided to hang on to the helmet, regardless.

How warm is this jacket?
I am looking for a jacket that can take me to the depths of the winter, that I could walk around in AND not kill my bank acct. I don't see myself out an about when the weather hits below 10 degrees F, that being said with appropriate layers I am looking for a jacket to keep me warm enough that riding in 20 degree weather does not mean that when I get off my bike I'm an ice icicle.

If you order a large enough size, you could probably layer enough under it to make it work, but the baggier you go with this jacket the worse it'll look when it's not winter. I wore a thin down jacket (similar to those thin Patagonia puffy coats) under mine (in addition to the included down liner) during Seattle's last winter and was fine in temperatures down to 30° on my 8 mile freeway commute. Not sure I'd go any longer distances with it though. If you're riding in temperatures colder than that, maybe it's time to invest in some heated gear?

Does this have any elbow or shoulder protection? Would this be good for NW weather? Rain and cold.
I wear it in Seattle year round. For shorter rides in the rain, it'll resist the weather okay. If you're doing any more than 15 miles each way and it's coming down, I'd suggest a stronger rain layer. Since we rarely deal with (below) freezing temperatures, it's plenty warm if you layer under it. I wear the included down liner and thin down jacket with it and have been plenty warm on my morning commutes.
