Yes I use my RS Ronin for casual riding around town and do use the armour in back, shoulders and elbows.
I like it, decent classic inspired styling imo. The leather has a slightly waxy feel to it and while it's not as thick as my Aeros, feels decent enough to me. I don't do any track riding at all.
The main thing (apart from the fairly classic style) I like are the practicality of all the pockets. I've mentioned the forearm pocket for my e-tag. I can't believe how something so simple makes such a difference. Also on the few occasions I've bought something small the interior stretch cargo pockets save me from having to take a backpack on the bike.
I went for the medium but I wish there was a size between the small and medium. I could get the small on but that was without armour so I erred in the conservative side and went up. Its a regular fit on me with armour, a touch roomier than I would prefer. I do sometimes wonder if the small would have stretched over time and been a better fit but I don't ride that much to make a huge deal out of it. Just burn around on the weekends of the weather is nice.
Hope that helps

@ProteinNerd
Thank you very much for the info. If you don't mind me asking, what are some of your measurements? I'm just trying to help narrow down the size. I'm 5'11", 185lbs with a 42" chest.
Also any fit pics?

I'm 5'11 about 170lbs with a 41 inch chest. I will try and get you a pic later today after work. I'm guessing the medium will be a good fit on you.
since they make leather pants...
Well, so does Lewis Leathers, but you don't see them on big dudes with leather hats, leather shirts and leather ties!

Sorry for the delay. Forgot all about this so I just quickly snapped a pic while getting ready for work (excuse the business pants with casual moto jacket combo!)
As I mentioned Roland Sands Ronin jacket in medium (I'm 5'11" and about 75kg)
