Thank you for the review!!! I have the jacket and I personally love it. I´m 6,2 tall (middle size guy) and it´s really comfortable and in summer very light and refreshed (of course in hot days, you get this feeling only if´re riding over 30 miles/h at the least). Quality is really high, 3 in 1 is great on the flexibility side and the look is awesome (you can use it without looking very explicitly as a rider!). So for me is great, a bit expensive, but worth every peny. Thanks.
I’v got this jacket myself. It’s a great jacket the only thing I find is that you got to almost stop or at least take both your hands off the handle bars to use the zippers on your arms. Other then that great all round jacket 👍
I tried an Ignition maybe 2-3 years ago. Personally, I prefer a tapered look. Rev'It jackets, while high quality, are cut square. They never look tailored on anybody. I like mesh/leather jackets in concept because you can have your airflow and protection too. Several brands make such jackets but the ones that use mesh that doesn't hold its shape feel cheap. Having said that, I ended up buying a Kushitani/BMW leather/mesh jacket. The mesh feels more substantial than the Ignition by a little margin, has a tapered look, armor coverage of BMW's NP armor (orange color) is very extensive yet it still presents a low profile. Only downside is that it doesn't have rain or insulated liners but it also means it doesn't need adjustment straps to take up slack like the Ignition would need.
You're wearing a size 50. How about giving your weight and height. Then we'd have a reference.

Finally! First in-depth review of this jacket that I’ve seen. Most cover both the jacket and pants but focus on the pants too much.
Glad you enjoyed! It's a great piece all on its own! - Byron
BTW, there was a printed review on BMW MOA monthly magazine. It was very positive.

Could you review the Revit Mantis?
How can i wash this jacket?? dry clean only? Thank you
How about size? Does it match sizing chart?
For me it did, the Euro 50 I wore was spot on and corresponds to my measurements on the size chart. - Byron
Rain will ruin the exterior leather
