Purchased this jacket on September 2012. Used to the hot weather of Greece the icy roads of UK got me unprepaired. On a turn my bike slided on ice and I got dragged on the road for a couple of meters on my right and front side. I did not felt a thing! After I cleaned my jacket the damage done was hardly noticeable.

I wear it with the back protector and I don't even know it's there. The removable lining will keep you warm at temperatures around 5-10 Celsious wearing just a T-shirt.

Have on mind that the leather is slightly softer than most Dainese jackets and can get damaged from nails, keys etc. Overall it is a great jacket with excellent comfort, casual look and good protection.

With the cool weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area, I wanted a stylish, protective leather jacket that I could wear out on or off the bike. The Greyhound Pelle is top quality leather that feels amazing. With the liner at 70mph on the highway in 40 degrees I feel warm and cozy. I especially like the high collar, and with the back protector in I don't even know it's there.

I purchased a size bigger than I'd normally wear, as I didn't want this particular jacket to be overly form-fitting. However, with the waist tabs snapped to the second snap, it's snug enough to keep any air from getting under it.

The only complaint I have is the same with all motorcycle jackets with a liner, and that is that the elastic sewn inside the jacket (used to snap the liner in) easily broke when I pulled my arms out. I've had this happen on several jackets. I think a better design would be to use two snaps instead of a snap and a hook. But this is extremely minor for the quality of the jacket overall. That's why I still give it 5 stars.
