Warm, windproof and water resistant. Easy to roll up and put in your jersey pocket if it gets too warm. I got the large and found them tight on my bicepts, no problems with them staying up. They are about 2" too long for my short arms.

Well constructed dual layer jersey. Fleece like interior lining soaks up sweat well with a good looking outer layer.

Typical euro style with high cut armpits and extra long sleeves.

As I say in all my reviews: Sizing is always a huge challenge for me. I spent a lot of time in the gym prior to getting into cycling. At 5'3" 170lbs with a relatively low body-fat percentage nothing ever fits just right in cycling wear. I got this in the XL and its just a little tight in the armpits. Don't notice it when on the bike due to the arm extension and I forget about the tightness when I'm off the bike after a few minutes. Fits fine around the waist. No flapping in the breeze. The sleeves are ridiculously long on me and I have to tuck in about 3" as I have to do with anything long sleeved that I get.

Overall a good fall/winter jersey.

This jacket is a great final layer for cold and windy rides. It definitely blocks the headwinds and is breathable. But don't kid yourself if you are out hammering with a base-layer, jersey, and this jacket you are going to need to unzip some to let the heat out.

I got the black with red trim. The stitching looks good with no loose threads. The zipper is easy to use with full finger gloves or my lobster claws. The outside pockets are a little shallow but the center pocket is deep enough if you need to remove a layer while riding.

If you like long rides when the temps are below 32 you will need something a little heavier than this, but this jacket will serve you well into the mid 30s with the right layers. I highly recommend it.

did not work for me.

I purchased mine in November to get ready for winter riding. Didn't use it until late December and once again in January. Here is my experience, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The Good: the wind-stopper fabric works as advertised. It keeps the windchill off your ears and forehead without over heating. It absorbed sweat well and I never felt the cold air chill when it got wet.

The Bad: one size does not fit all. Unless you have a melon the size of Peyton Manning its going to be too big on your head. I tried it on when I got it but did not actually fit it until just prior to my first ride. Other than my gloves and helmet it's the last thing I put on prior to leaving the house. After 5 minutes in front of the mirror trying to correctly position the mouth and nose opening I began to overheat due to the layers I had on. There's nothing worse than starting a cold weather ride already sweating before you leave the house. I got everything lined up as best I could and left. The eye, nose and mouth openings weren't quite right but how bad could it get?

The Ugly: I took it out on a 30 mile loop. I had some problems with the nose flap early on and kept trying to adjust it to keep it on top of my nose but found it very difficult to do with full fingered gloves on. It kept slipping under my nose making breathing difficult at times. 10 miles into my loop there are 3 rollers that are perfect for attacking, out of the saddle up the first one, a couple taps down to the 11 as you go down the other side, tap back up to the 15 to get over the next and repeat.

As I crested the last one with the heart rate at 175 I tried to take a deep breath through my nose. The flap got sucked into my nostrils and I got ZERO oxygen. I tried to inhale through my mouth and the holes had shifted, air flow was almost non existent. I tried pulling and tugging with gloved fingers desperately in need of air. My heart almost exploded as I tried in vain to get sufficient air into my lungs. It left me with the wobbles for the next half mile or so as I tried to recuperate. If it wasn't so cold out I would have taken it off at that point

The fabric that does such a good job of keeping you nice and warm makes breathing next to impossible if it is not lined up correctly. I have tried fitting it and adjusting it several times at home and wore it a second time on a short ride. I just cannot get the nose flap to stay where it is supposed to.

It's a high quality product and keeps your head warm into the 30s. If it fit me properly it would be my first choice for cold weather rides but my near death experience gasping for air will keep it in my drawer on training rides. I may wear it when I'm riding for fun.
