REV'IT! Ignition Leather Jacket

This jacket is an interesting one.
Pros: Seems like great protection and fits comfortably. I am inclined to go for the ProLife back protector over the foam pad included...The mesh breaths great and the fit of the jacket doesn't change much as you add the H20 liner and insulated vest that it comes with. The style is clean and simple.
Psuedo-cons: none of these were dealbreakers for me, but some things to consider before purchase perhaps. The cuffs appear to be meant for gloves to tucked under vs over the sleeve. Euro style perhaps? This either makes gauntlet-style gloves very wide to go over the cuff or potentially crammed into the sleeve. The zips really should have pulls attached, can't grab 'em w/ gloves on. Also there are only 2 main outer pockets, 1 cell-phone pocket, and a series of very small pockets in the liner, so not much cargo space.
About the fit, I'm 6' tall, 42 chest, 32 jeans waist and cinching the side velcro adjusters makes the jacket balloon a little at the belly/flanks if u know what i mean. Wish the jacket had either elastic waist or slightly more taper at the bottom.
Overall very nice construction!
