love it. second showers pass jacket purchased. i like that the hood is removable. I love the shoulder pads for extra protection from backpack strap wear. I only wish that the venting had a more flex to it. the reinforced zippers certainly keep out the rain, but also are very rigid. overall, an amazing shell that's perfect for Portland commuting.
I really like this jacket but wish it didn't have a hood. Otherwise the fit is right and it has all the necessary pockets and the reflective map looks really cool. It's a great buy even though it's not perfect.
Nice medium weight jacket with night time safety reflective features... REALLY lights up when hit with direct light. Would have given it a 5 stars if it had a zipper venting system under the arms or on the front.
So I have ridden with this on both commuting and training rides in the Seattle winter. (aka Rain). It has good rain protection and a bit of warm in the form of a faux-liner.
So overall quite a good product.
Cons It needs a Napoleon breast pocket.
The hood is useful but needs to be made removal-able.
I ride daily. I needed something to keep the rainwind off me, while not causing me to soak thru due to sweat. This jacket does all that and more. It keeps the rain out. It keeps the cold out. And it keeps me from sweating to death when it is eitheer of those conditions outside. I rode in today wearing a t-shirt and jeans in 35 degreee weather. The Jacket of enthusiasts ...or people who just like to stay warm when they ride.
