There is no Bad Weather, Only Bad Clothes
I'm 6' 0" 200 lbs with long arms and a thickish neck. Size Large fits me well with good arm length. It has ample neck room over my high collared base layer. The jacket has a looser club fit, not a skin tight racer fit. I wear it for gravel and XC MTB, and it looks great for both disciplines. Nice longer tail provides ample splash coverage, and the two large tail pockets are great for snacks, tools and bottles. Zippered slash pockets up front are functional for keys, wallet, and keeping your hands warm when standing around.The jacket is optimized for 20F to 40F temps. At 40F, i need only a thin long sleeve base layer. First ten minutes of the ride are brisk, and then perfect once I warm up on a climb. It has room in the arms and torso to add a third layer as temps drop, but it is still reasonably snug in these areas for good aerodynamics. No bingo wings or flying squirrel body for me.The front section and arms are made of a fleece lined material that is similar to thin neoprene. It blocks wind and insulates from cold very well. These sections don't breathe, so the jacket starts feeling a bit too warm during spirited riding in temps over 50F. It might work fine up to 60F if you keep a casual pace.This is more of a dry weather winter jacket than a cool weather rainshell, so it is a bit thick and heavy compared to other cycling jackets. It is not the type of jacket you want to stuff in a jersey pocket, though you could in a pinch. This is the jacket you want to be wearing when temps stay low for the entire ride.The entire back of the jacket is a lighter more breathable fabric than the front and arms. For this reason, the jacket is not particularly water resistant. Body temp can be regulated by raising or lowering the front zipper to control ventilation. Half zipped for climbs, full zipped for descents.The gathered sleeves fit under my cold weather gloves, keeping wind off my wrists while still allowing my insulated gloves to breathe a bit. Nice feature.Overall, it is an excellent value, and a worthwile addition for anyone wanting to train through moderate winter weather.

Good winter cycling jacket for the price
I bought this jacket for wearing during winter riding when temperatures are below 40°F. I wanted something fleece lined that would protect me from the wind and rain. This jacket does really well with the first one, not so well with the second.The jacket provides excellent protection for temperatures below 40. I've ridden with it all the way down to 31, recently. It hasn't been colder than that here, so I can't say how low it'd be good for. It does an amazing job at keeping the wind out and keeping me warm.It is not so great in the rain, though. Last night I rode 31 miles in the rain with a temperature of 39°F. The jacket absorbs the rain and holds on to it. Not a good jacket for the rain. However, if you put a windbreaker over top of it, something water proof that'll keep out the rain, then its perfect for rain weather too. It just doesn't do well wet.The jacket has several zipped compartments and reflectors. The zippers are fine-pitched metal and work well though I could see them binding and breaking if not careful. There are three pockets on the rear for bottles and snacks. Those pockets are not water resistant, though, so be careful with your phone. The jacket is cut longer in the back and likely best for drop-bar road and gravel cyclist.Fit wise, I am 5'11 and 160lbs and carry my weight in my stomach. I bought a size Small. I had originally bought a Medium but returned it. It was just too loose in the midsection. The Small fits me exactly how I want it to fit. Tight enough not to bunch in my mid section or flap in the wind but not so tight it won't sit over top of a long-sleeve jersey.

Good Addition to your Winter Cycling Gear
For the price a good cycling jacket when it’s 40-50 degrees or slightly lower if layered. Good looking and fits well. Only downside so far is the jacket doesn’t breath at all so you will be very sweaty if you are pushing it on your ride. But overall, a good addition to my winter cycling gear, especially for the price

Very breathable and well made
First of all I am 215-220 pounds and 6 foot one inch tall. I bought the XXL model and it fits like a glove. i like that the back is breathable and half of the arms are breathable fabric.The quality of the build is very good. I rode my first ride with the coat today for 20 miles, and the temp was around 42-44 dry non windy conditions. I was pretty comfortable. My arms were a bit cold (is wearing a long sleeve jersey underneath) but not unbearably cold. No moisture build up anywhere in the jacket. I almost bought the XL jacket but I am glad I opted for the XXL version.The front vest pocket will fit a smaller smart phone comfortably. My phone seemed to big to use that pocket so I had to utilize the back pouches. Very pleased with jacket and also the bib tight I bought from the same company are superb for price and quality.

I am Shocked!
I needed a jacket with more pockets so I was interested in this one. However I was afraid it would not keep me warm on early morning bike rides in cold weather. My first chance to use it was early morning when temps were below freezing. I usually do 40 mile rides just after sunrise. To my great surprise, this jacket keep me warm even when I was riding 18 to 20 mph in below freezing weather. As I warmed up and the temps warmed up, my sweat evaporated through the venting panels in the sides and sleeves. The jacket was dry inside when I got home. I ordered 1 size up so I would have room for the warm layers under thejacket that I usually wear. This jacket is a winner and I fully recommend it!!!!
