"This is a great jacket! It is perfect for rides where the weather changes all the time (like in Colorado) when it is just above freezing as you start but then shoots up to 70 in under an hour. All I have to do is stop for a second to unzip the sleeves and just throw them in the back pocket for when it cools off again. "lhigerd

Quality of Construction

So far the jacket has held up well. I did get one small tear at the seaming above the right front pocked from trying to grab a gel without unzipping the pocket all the way.

(5)

Fit

I have a very long torso and find that some cycling tops are just not long enough. This coat is the perfect length for me, it covers the length of my torso without being to long. Sleeve length is perfect as well. I am normally a s/m in size, I ordered the jacket in a small and its still roomy enough when I wear a few layers underneath but not baggy enough for the wind to catch it.

(5)

Comfort

I am able to freely move my arms in all directions.

(4)

Durability

I have only used the jacket for a few months but so far it has held up to many chilly and windy days. I have yet to test it out in the rain.

(4)

Value

I found it online for a great deal but I would still be happy with it had I paid full price. Its versatility makes it worth the money.

(5)

Appearance

The fit is very flattering, I like it so much I have taken to wearing it around town on breezy days.

(4)

Performance

It's held up well to Colorado wind and sun thus far. It does a good job of blocking out cool drafts while remaining breathable.

Strengths

Flattering fit, good for women with long torsos, removable sleeves, wind resistance, breathability.

Weakness

I have not found any yet but I have only had it for 4 months.
