You'd have to be stupid not to buy this.
WARM, WARM, WARM. Fits well. VERY snug. I am 5'10" I wear a size 8 in women’s shirts/jackets and a 4-6 in women’s dresses. The medium fit me perfect. However there's NO way I could fit a sweater under this jacket and that's fine with me because there's no need to. The jacket is fantastic for the cold region of New York I live in. I've had it for about a month and as the temp dips colder and colder the jacket keeps proving to me that it was a fantastic choice. I would imagine if you took the two inner layers out it could be a great warm weather jacket too but I will have to wait 6 months to find out. I have also been able to test the waterproof claim and I have to say it is 100% waterproof. I don't ride a Honda so I stitch ripped the logos of the back and side they did not come off easily.

Warm and loaded with features
I purchased this jacket because of the great sale price and because someone else bought the same one and recommended it to me.
The first thing I noticed when I got it was how heavy it was. It was stiff when brand new, but it got more comfortable the more I wore it. This is the warmest jacket I own! I have been riding in cold weather and I stay nice and toasty because of the 2 different zip out linings.
The only thing I didn't like were all the patches, which I promptly removed to customize with my own patches. That was an easy fix for such a great jacket!

nirvana jacket-nice but for slim arms
The style and finish are really nice. I'm a petite medium size, but thank goodness I ordered a large because otherwise the shoulders would have been too small. The sleeves are a bit long but you can use the snap across the edge to remedy that. I love all the vents and pockets. I just realized there's a huge pocket on the lower back! The only thing I don't like is how tight the sleeves are. I definitely won't be able to use both liners because my arms won't fit through!

Honda Women's Nirvana Touring Jacket
Excellent quality jacket - very happy I bought it. Runs small though - I usually wear a 12-14 Large and had to return and order XL. (Same sizing issue for my husband's men's version of this jacket.) It has a removable waterproof liner and a thermal liner. With both liners in and just thermal underwear underneath, I was warm on the back of the bike at temps in the 40's. Without the liners and the vents open, I was comfortable in the warmer 70's as well. Rode in a light rain for about 30 minutes and I stayed dry and warm. Things I appreciate are the plentiful pockets, velcro waist and cuff adjustments, and zippers at the side hip bottoms so you can "expand" if you need to.

Honda Collection - Womens's Nirvana Touring Jacket
Everything about this jacket is excellent. Need to order a size larger than you normally wear, they tend to run small.

The 2 vertical zippers on the upper front chest are pockets. The horizontal zippers just under those are vents. One inner zip pocket next to the front zipper. Armor board in the back which is very stiff, and hard shoulder and elbow armor. The front zips and has a snap storm flap. The removable liner consists of 2 interchangeable pieces, one is a nylon jacket with elastic cuffs on the sleeves, and the second is a quilted liner with full sleeves. The quilted liner can be zipped into the nylon liner, or zipped directly onto the shell. You could wear the nylon jacket by itself if you don't mind the two 12" connector zip halves on the front. I'm 5'2 and wear size 6 clothing, and small was tight around the upper hip area when worn with overpants, and sleeves were very long. Jacket is great looking, and looks like its very well made, but I sent back because of fit issues which were made worse from the stiffness of the fabric and armor. I think it would be a very versatile setup for someone a little taller or narrow hipped.
