Perfect
I’m amazed at how warm (yet never over hot) this jacket has kept me. I did 50km at -2c last week (in Toronto, so this is -2 with a biting cold wind). Mostly a zone 2 on flats kind of ride so not high intensity and it kept me incredibly comfortably warm. Completely blocks the wind. All I wore under neath was a long sleeve merino base layer. Rode again at around 6c with more hills, sunnier day and was absolutely comfortable and never too hot the whole way. Didn’t even have to open the vents. This jacket is everything I dreamed it would be. Only small complaint I have is less the jackets fault and my own elongated physique. I ordered an XXL after reading that someone of a similar height found the arms too short on the XL. In riding position the XXL is the perfect length in the arms for me. The body doesn’t feel as slickly form fitting as I had hoped, but that’s okay it’s not a jersey. It’s still very slim on me just a bit more room then I was expecting due to it being XXL but I’d rather ride with that then have my sleeves come up short. I’m 6’3 and 193lbs. I was skeptical about the two back pockets at first as I’m more used to the three typical vertically oriented pockets on jerseys etc but after one ride I never dwelled on it again they were great and the front breast zip pocket is a nice touch too. If you need a jacket that can go deep into winter with you, but can also be worn in temps well above 0 (like I think I’d be comfortable in this at 10-12 degrees, no problem) then…
