I needed a jacket to wear while riding, something I can use to put on over my kit and put away conveniently. This does that, it's light weight but seems to keep me warm on rides.

Fits well, true to size. I am 165, 5-9 and found this to fit well, but do notice the shoulders will flap in the wind at high speed. Still, the mixture of warmth and breathability - thanks largely to the AD insulation - make this a very dynamic piece, with a broad temp range.

Love this jacket for fall here in Western NY. Not sure if I could see it during the winter or below 35 degrees. Otherwise, very happy with this overall.

If you are under 6’ this is a really nice coat. Over and it’s a belly shirt.

At 70 yo, a little more susceptible to cold. This is great to 40 degrees at 20 mph. Below that I put on my thermal jersey also and I’m in danger of overheating on climbs , but descents are so comfortable, with ear flap Peruvian beanie a requirement for me. Of course being in NorCal, my idea of cold is anything below 35.

Great jacket

Paired with a thin (almost see through) no name 90%polyprop/10%merino wool upper and a SL long sleeve thermal jersey and fleece beanie, this thing is coming off at 40-45 deg. f., depending upon sun vs overcast. Toasty warm. And small enough to stuff in a 1 liter stuff sack and stick in my 1 of 2 specialized water bottle cages.

Use more a base layer then top layer
