Review by cyclist_del

This jacket needs pockets.

I got the screaming yellow version of this jacket. I love the bright color and the visibility that the jacket provides. It is a nice thin material and ideal for riding at temperatures above 50 degrees F. Anything cooler than that requires at least one heavy base layer. This is more of a fall and spring jacket.

My main complaint is the lack of pockets to carry your "stuff." There is a pocket with a zipper at the back of the jacket. There is a mesh bag which hangs loose and is not sewn into the material. As a result, when you carry essentials such as a cell phone, the weight causes the the bag to flop around. It is very distracting. So the first time I rode I had a base wool layer with no place for essentials.

My solution is to wear a cycling shirt with pockets underneath the jacket. A major disappointment is that there are no side pockets.

So overall, I like the color and the comfort of the jacket, but for the price, one would think they could sew in a few pockets.

Nice color, but

This lightweight jacket is good for cooler rides (50+). It provides good visibility (I got the "screaming yellow" Bioviz) and is very comfortable.

However, there is not adequate space to carry essentials such as a cell phone. There is a zipper on the back of the jacket, which contains a mesh-like bag. The bag hangs loose and for some reason is not sewn into the jacket. So when you put a phone or anything with any weight in there it is not stationary and flops around. When I put a phone there, the weight makes the bag actually hang below the waistline of the jacket.

Since there are no side pockets, I have to make sure that I wear a biking shirt with pockets in the back underneath the jacket. This is not an insurmountable problem, but it is annoying.

Warm jacket, I'm 6', about 170#, purchased large, good fit. Have rode close to 20 degrees with a base layer, jersey, and this jacket, have been plenty warm.
