Received my Rjays Octane Camo jacket today, though currently the temperature is high as well as humidity, I decided to give it a go, fit is fairly good, as I am between sizes L and XL, I went for the XL, L size may have been too tight, Xl fit is good for me, a couple for places it's a little loose, but acceptable, I can always have a couple more adjusters made up.
Quality is excellent, lots of protection and the armour is superb, the elbow armour goes right to the forearm where a full gauntlet would take over, the shoulder armour protects the deltoids and extra padding on top protects the colller bone, back protector is huge, plus there is lots of extra padding around it on the outer part, I removed the waterproof liner until the monsoon. The mesh does a good job of ventilation, but as with all jackets you need to keep moving, plus with the jacket being predominantly black, it absorbs heat as expected.
Here are my ratings out of ten.
Quality 9/10 initial impression, no issues with the stitching or zippers etc. Very nicely built.
Fit 8/10 Being between sizes a perfect fit will be difficult, plus not being able to try it on before purchase means possibly the size down would have been better
Protection 8.5/10 This has all the good stuff in the right places and more, the only thing is being a mesh safety is compromised, I can't wear regular textile jackets in this climate and leather would make me melt.
Style 10/10 whilst it's not loud, it turns heads, but is still subtle and looks good.
Comfort 10/10 it's a comfy jacket, no complaints here, nothing poking or itching etc.
That gives an overall of 91% obviously I haven't had it long enough to give a rating for durability, these are just my fist impressions, I had rode for almost 2 hours, in city traffic and on the highway.
I also got some AXO knee and elbow guards, they are pretty descent for the money and offer good coverage for the knee and shin, the elbow guards can be used by pillions I guess.
All in all a great purchase and great value for money.
Will post a long term review after some time has past, atleast 6 months.
Pics will follow tomorrow.......
Cheers,
Stefan

. Been using the same jacket for more than a year now. Condition still as new. Agreed with rest of the comments. Though I removed the back protector to make air flow better. Had to compromise on safety for comfort somewhere 
. Anyway, airflow much better this way
