Pros: The jacket looks great, is really well made, and seems to be flexible in mixed riding temps. The liner material is good- sort of a 3d mesh, so it can be cool or warm. The side vents really let you cool off. Protection wise it seems top notch, it has shoulder and elbow pads, and on the outside the leather covers the typical impact areas. The fabric body and inner arms is slightly elastic, combine this with the fact that it fits like a glove and it ends up being really comfortable. Unlike a lot of Dainese stuff, its not too flashy, which is nice. All in all, very nice with some good technology making it perform well. Don't overlook it.
Cons: The mesh liner is a bit scratchy, but I think this will go away once broken in (I only noticed wearing a t-shirt when I put my arms in, didn't feel through the shirt). I like having a removable liner to keep it really cool in the summer, but I haven't tested this out on a real scorcher yet. I think the mesh should do well with the side vents.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: It helped to me to have had two other dainese jackets to get the fit right.
Comments: Dainese costs a bit more, but fits better (for me) and is made really well. My old jacket did its job in a crash, so I know the protection works and they use good leather and stitching.
