Pros: Quality built jacket, no loose seems or stitching. Great airflow through the mesh. I've ridden in 65-85 degree sunny days without the liner and it has been perfect. On cool mornings (~50 degrees so far) I throw on the liner to block the wind. Excellent value and versatile jacket for 2.5-3 seasons in Chicago area.
Cons: Wrist openings in the liner are non-adjustable and small. Good for keeping out wind and water, but makes it challenging to get on and off. Back pad is fairly tall; when riding with a bag/pack it can get bunched up at stoplights when I sit upright. (Although it is just foam and would be easy to trim.)
Sizing Info: Fits 1 size smaller
Additional Sizing Notes: I am 5'11", 165 lbs, normal to athletic build. I was considering medium jackets, but when trying on items for my birthday wishlist I tried this jacket and a Small fit perfect. Sleeve length was spot on, but due to my large wrists (XL gloves) the openings at the end of the sleeves on the LINER were tight, but not too bad. (Jacket has the cuff adjustments, so there isn't a problem with it at all).
Comments: Great jacket at an awesome pricepoint.
