Update to 'nice jacket'
Having worn this jacket, the yellow one, many times, I have to say it is great. It fits just right (although I said before I had to get a size up from normal) and is warm enough in the colder mornings at around 35-50 degrees that all I need under it is a simple tee shirt. I have ridden it in the rain and I didn't get wet, it kept me dry. That is a great plus. And in that weather, I have the added visibility of the bright yellow. I wear it going to work, and I usually put it in my rear bag coming home, and it folds up nicely taking up little space. If I wear it and it warms up some, there are several zippers to open the jacket up to the air.
nice jacket
I havn't had a chance to ride with this yet, but it fits well. I had to buy one size larger than I would normally get, they size these too small, even then, the sleeves are a tad tight with a long sleeve shirt underneath, and a little baggy everywhere else, but not too much so, which is fine with me as it probably will allow more movement. I'm glad I had the chance to try one on in my store first. Seems like the company ought to look closer at their sizing. The bright yellow really is bright. I saved 15% off the local dealer, not counting the tax I would have paid, and the free shipping was a nice plus. Oh, and I received it in like two days. How the heck can you beat that? Only wish the seller had more in stock, and of other jackets too, looks like the one I bought was last one available. Very happy with purchase though.
great
This jacket was purchased as a gift and was very much appreciated. I, as the purchaser, appreciated the price which was more than 50% less then our local cycle shop. Item was received when promised in perfect condition. Thank you.
Another great product from Pearl Izumi
Works perfectly on the bike - breathable, blocks wind, does not flap too bad. Extremely versatile - vest\jacket. Got this after I lost my Pearl Izumi Vagabound from my back pocket on a ride. Worth the premium.
Good
Wore this jacket just a few times on the bike and it is light and fits well. Sizes do run a little small but I did not mind as I like my bike clothes to fit on the small side so it does not flap around during ride. Need to wear it on a light or moderate rain ride to test the material but seems to be a quality jacket.
