Considering our local weather mesh is the go-to material for jackets, and my figure will mostly allow italian brands to be a perfect fit, so currently I have one Alpinestars and one Dainese in my gear closet. They fit slim and true to size. I find Dainese to be lighter and provide a better airflow. It generally feels thinner and apart from that also has huge zipper vents in the front, armpits and back.
I have always been attracted to Icon (these especially for the fact that they have D3O armor all around) and Rev'it and tried them on for size in several occasions, but find Icon to fit very wide around the torso if the sleeves for, and Rev'it too narrow in the sleeves for the desired length.
My general advice would be to go and try the jackets rather than buying online, especially if you are getting a new brand for the first time.
