This jacket is awesome, very comfortable, looks great and has some protection as standard (shoulder and elbow). I bought the back and chest protector upgrades for about £100 extra. The jacket zips up all the way to the Alpinestars Missile V3 trousers I bought at the same time. This jacket is perforated and the first ride I noticed how much cooler it is compared to my old textile jacket. My jacket size is medium and the back protector was size medium, the chest protectors are small.

The added stretch allows movement whilst the fit is perfect.

I tried this jacket on in store and from the off it was probably the most comfortable leather jacket I've had on, in fact any bike jacket.
I got on the bike with it on a day of about 20 plus degrees and even stationary the Ridenit material seems to allow that air flow and heat escape. On the move it's very noticeable how much the air flows through that material and travels around the jacket.
I'm not going to ignore the fact that the Ridenit material would do nothing on an off to protect my skin but the areas where that material is I would suggest wouldn't be a contact point with the road, I hope. The rest of the jacket looks good and I'm happy with my purchase. 1 thing to note. I own an airtech 5 and in my usual size it's very very snug when I wear this jacket over the top but it is still very new so will give in time but despite it being "airtech ready" I'd go up a size if you plan on wearing an airbag under it.
Overall this is my go to summer jacket.
