I have used the jacket for almost one year now, almost every day, so I am able to evaluate it long term.
+ PROS
- it's really waterproof, it hold one heavy downpour without water penetrating.
- I used it at +5 Celsius without issues
- CONS
- the black color has become some sort of dark grey within one year
- the thermal lining is tearing out right away
- the main zipper is not YKK
- it's very hot/unwearable above 25 Celsius.
I am 185 cm/95kg athlete type body and I ordered an XL according to the size chart. It fits well on shoulders, arms and chest but is to wide around the belly.

To add up to my initial review. Drove in it in a rain for 2 hours( around 40 minutes of very heavy rain) The jacket stayed dry which surprised the hell out of me. However water sipped throw the bottom which is expected due to the sitting position + very very heavy rain + no wind protection, I literally had water in my bottom pockets...(well my jeans became like a pool and my balls floated in it so great result...)collar is a bit wide as mentioned before so a bit of water came throw the top but just a bit. Other pockets and the rest were completely dry. I would definitely trust Revit membrane in a moderate rain to keep im relatively dry.

184cm, 92 kg, L size fits perfectly. Cut is old school pilot jacket so it's more baggy in the tummy area rather than more modern hipster copies of pilot jacket, which is cool considering I am not all muscle these days...Overall look, let's just say skinheads might give you a warm welcome by mistake thinking you are one of them.
I am riding a cruiser no wind protection. Was using just a regular jeans jacket before. Well it's definitely better than that but dead bugs stick to it much much better than to a simple jeans jacket. If you don't have wind protection you will need to clean it every ride after with water unless you want to look like a bug exterminator (it cleans easily)
Usually I just go for a ride outside the city and weather at most is 15-22 celsius . It works pretty well in that temperature range, stops wind very well. However I would not buy it for city rides unless it's usually cold in your area as you start to bake alive pretty quickly (riding with inner layer in, t-shirt under or t-shirt + sweater) Did not test it without inner layer out yet but membranes do not breathe that well so I would imagine it's going to be a sauna if you stop in warmer weather.
What I don't like is the collar, adjustment is non existent, it's too wide or too narrow but I guess that's what you pay for a regular look, I just wear balaclava to protect my neck from the wind.
Limb protectors lvl 1 , tested with hammer bashing on my hand they are scary non existent but they also feel non existent so they don't bother you.
All in all it looks and feels decent but I would not go and brag about it.
