This is one of my favorite jackets, you can use it for riding of course
, which is the best application since it will provide you initially with some warmth, but it won't get you hot. That's the key feature. Another key feature is the hood opening allows you to put it on without taking off any helmet and even the elastic on the sleeves you can pull over your gloves. It's light and you can wash it and it has some water repellent abilities. I think it's ideal and essential for every rider. You can pack it and leave it in the car or fanny pack, its that compact. I use this inside the house since it provides just enough warmth and I even give it as a gift to my friends.
