I needed a light weight, packable jacket and this one fits the description perfectly. Because of the extreme and unpredictable changes in weather and temperature where I live, this jacket is the item of clothing that I use the most from October to April. That's more than half of the year. Granted: it doesn't protect me in torrential rain, but I use it most of the time rather as a wind breaker, light enough that doesn't make me feel hot in the steepest climbs and warm enough when it's time to go downhill. Definitely a game changer. That said, I have to disclose that I bought it when it was on sale (I saved about $36) and that's why I gave it 5 stars in the value rating. However, I don't know if I would have bought it at full price (almost $90!).
These things are warm and keep the wind out well. The fit was great and the chamois is decent. Haven't had any issues riding in sub 40 degree weather. Only issue I have is that the crotch area could use some more insulating but wearing a base layer down there helps out a lot.
This glove is great for it's intended purpose - cool weather riding. It keeps the hands comfortable and breathes really well. That breathability means that it doesn't hold in a lot of heat, so don't expect to wear this glove below about 40F unless your hands run really warm. The latex strips on the palm are very tacky and provide good grip on the bars. They are thin, so you still have good dexterity for shifting, pushing the buttons on your bike computer, etc.
A great lightweight jacket, good for chilly temps and wind and stylish to boot. Works fine for VERY light/brief rain, but anything beyond that it's no good at keeping out moisture. The fit is very snug, I'm 6' tall, 168 lbs and wear a men's medium 99% of the time. Got a medium in this jacket and it is super tight. Even the wrist openings are weirdly small. (I have small wrists, and it's a bit of work getting my hands through.)
Overall, though, it's a dandy jacket.
