I just bought this jacket, it's better than expected in terms of quality and refined details! Very stylish and comfortable.

Positives:

1. Very nice fabric — outer shell is soft, inner liner is soft, comfortable and cozy!

2. Pockets — Nice placement of pockets outside and inside.

3. Collar — I love this collar, it keeps the wind out and is stylish, the collar liner is nice as well for those cold days.

4. Protection — High-quality elbow pads with hard plastic as opposed to rubber or foam seen in cheaper jackets. I think the shoulder pads could cover a bit more area though.

5. Elastic sleeve wrists — Elastic ends of the inner shell keep wind out nicely.


Negatives:

1. Colour Choices — Dainese has no Hi-Viz jackets for women?! Also, I'm tired of so many solid black jackets with colour accents of RED, BLUE and WHITE....I would like to see other colours such as: Bright Green, Aqua Blue or Hi-Viz Yellow.

2. Back Protection — I know none of the jackets include back protectors, but it would be nice!

3. Dawn Blue Colour — I bought the Red version and I thought the sleeves were more of a white-blue, but the Dawn blue which covered the forearms looks more grey in person.
