Good Jacket, Sized a little small
I shopped a while and read many reviews before selecting this jacket. It has been a very good purchase and I would recommend it to others. So far, I have used it from 30 degrees to 60 degrees (F), always with a base later. It is a bit too warm for 60, and seems plenty warm for the going below 30 degrees.The removable sleeves are a great feature, but I have to agree with other reviews about the zippers being a little delicate. I have been careful with the zippers and have not had any failures. But, I would advise not to take the chance of removing the sleeves while riding, especially wearing winter gloves as you could easily break the zippers.The jacket is not as wind-proof as I would have liked, especially on a descend after your base layer is a little sweaty from a climb. On colder days, I have opted to carry a spare base layer and changed at the summit of a climb and have had good success.I am 6'2" and 185 lbs and ordered the XL. The...

Versatile, warm, good against the rain, and high quality
Got this jacket at the start of the fall riding season. Liked the fit right away and the quality is good too. Especially liked the ability to remove the sleeves in just a few seconds. This lets you use the jacket in the chilly morning ride to work then have a nice gillet to wear on the way home when it is a bit warmer. Really like the versatility. I've also been impressed with the ability of the jacket to turn water yet remain breathable. Got caught on a return ride (3 hours) in the cold steady rain wearing this jacket, a mid-layer and thermal T. The jacket turned the rain like a champ and I was comfortable the entire 3 hours. Very pleased with the jacket and would highly recommend it. For the value, the price is not bad at all.

Fantastic
Expensive, but worth it. Simply amazing, I ride with it all winter, and since I usually run hot being able to dump the sleeves is great. The only bummer about this thing is the lousy zipper. For this price, the zipper should be a LOT better. Yes, it's a YKK, but it's prone to get stuck, or zip improperly. I have to be careful when zipping it up. This material is soft, and windproof. On top of that, it is amazingly water resistant. Did a lot of rain rides last year and was amazed at how dry I stayed. Highly recommended.12/26/11Update. I noticed that Amazon had a couple of the colors on sale ($135!!) and I decided to get another one despite the front zipper issues. I went with black becausemy yellow one has gotten really grungy looking and I can't get it to look really clean anymore. Bummer. I have had the black one for a couple of weeks andIm really happy with it. And oddly, the front zipper on this one doesn't give me anywhere near the problems my...
