As a commuter, this is one of the most used fall-winter cycling pieces that has saved me in some serious Seattle rain storms. I selected the Gore Windstopper vest over a full jacket because it allows my winter weight jerseys to breathe. I can deal with damp arms that can dry out during a ride, but not with a soaked body core. The size XL in black fits over a jersey and base layer provides wind, rain, and some added reflectivity at night. I may invest in a pair of Gore cycling tights
Perfect for Calif rides in cooler seasons when need something for early start but want to stow away once hit the hills. Warmer and a bit bulkier than a light wind shell. Nice that has the two back pockets. My go to size is XL and this fit fine.
