I bought these and an Ignition 2 jacket (reviewed separately). I have not tried them with the liner in yet, but wore them with underarmour semi-thermal pants. They have great fit and finish, excellent looks and were very comfortable. I found the front pockets to be usable and deep and at a comfortable location to reach into. The knee armor adjustment worked great, and the pads tucked right into place when I was on the bike. A 52 was the right fit for me at 5-10, 175 pounds, with the following Revzilla-recommended measurements: Waist: 38 (33 jean size) hips 40, inseam 30, outseam 39. Based on these, I originally ordered a short, but returned them and was glad I did because they did not cover my boots low enough when seated on the bike. I think I would have been able to get away with a 50 and had a little more of a super-heroesque fit, but I think I would have sacrificed riding comfort, which was my real motivation for buying these. As it is, the 52 is a little roomy, but they are adjustable enough to take in the waist, and the extra space makes the pockets useful, and layering a possibility. Again, I haven't tried the liner, so that would have filled some space. That being said, I can't speak to water resistance yet, though I do believe these to be more of an inclement spring pant and less fall/winter appropriate, as the mesh lets some air in. I think they are great pants for the money, though, and Revzilla's service was excellent.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great jacket, but not the all-arounder I had hoped for

The fit and finish of this jacket is excellent. It has some nice features and great style with the deft melding of classical leather looks and modern textile versatility. My criticisms are as follows: 1) With the waterproof membrane removed, the sleeve vents let in too much air, even when zipped. A couple of snaps or a greater overlap on the leather flaps over the zippers would help. I haven't tried it with the membrane, so I can't speak to what a difference that would make. 2) The tighter button on the collar is difficult to snap, and really doesn't seem as if it's meant to be used because it causes the whole jacket to sort of pucker when tightened. 3) With the cold weather vest liner installed, it is difficult to zip the jacket when it is completely open, because the liner and the leather flap at the bottom of the zipper block the view of the zipper opening. 4) I am 5'10", 176 pounds with broad shoulders and a 42" chest. I found that a size 52 works for me, but is a little long in the sleeves for comfort, even accounting for the fact that a riding jacket should have slightly longer sleeves than a casual jacket. I don't think a size smaller would work at all, though. All of this being said, I think this is a good jacket, but not a three season jacket. I live in Northern California, and without the membrane, it was pretty brisk on our foggy coast, even though the temp was only in the high 50's to low 60's. I will adjust this by layering on future rides.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Size 52 or 54?
Hi, I am a tall guy 6,3 with 43 chest and 40 waist, 200 lbs and has a long arms - around 36. I want to ask - should I go with size 52 or 54?
Maix,
It looks like you posted a while ago, so you probably have your answer, but I would definitely go with the 54. I filled out a 52 pretty well, and I'm 5'10" with a 42 inch chest and 176 pounds. The 52 might fit you, but you'd have very little room to put anything in pockets or layer up for weather, which I think the jacket needs.
