I have the first version of this jacket and it is a great 4 season jacket if you don't mind being a bit warm in the heat. Venting is very good, and it can be comfortable well into the 80's. Beyond about 80-85 degrees it does become warm in the areas where there is little venting.

Fit - I'm a little over 6'2' and around 230 lbs, and I wear a 3XL Long in this jacket ( the long is for the extra sleeve length ). Truthfully I could have gotten away with a regular as it turned out that the sleeves are plenty long on this jacket.

Overall - I've worn this jacket on a 3000 mile trip through snow and rain every day, and always stayed dry. I would compare this jacket with ones costing a couple hundred more. pockets are in the right place, venting is nice, and the collar does not chafe.

Complaints - If I do have any complaint, it is that the collar is not tall enough, for a "3 season" jacket I would prefer a taller collar like on the Kilimanjaro. But then again, that jacket is almost twice as much. Also, I'm not sure why ALL motorcycle apparel companies insist on sticking with quilted liners. They are just bulky and a pain to use. Either drop them all together and discount the price accordingly, or please switch to a polar fleece... It's not 1940 any longer.

Bang for the buck, this is one of the best buys out there. If you combine it with a mesh jacket for those supper hot days, you have a great combination that will keep you comfortable the whole year.
