Easy Rider It is warm and fits well provided you buy a size larger than normal! (the amount of the undersizing is ridiculous). My only problem with it so far is its dirt retention. ALL of my other cycling gear sheds mud with a simple brushing once it is dry. This fabric absorbs all mud thrown up by other cyclists and requires a long spell in a washing machine to shift it - which may not be good for its long term wind, rain and thermal protective properties.
Chris The jacket is of excellent quality that keeps you warm and dry when the weather turns. The information printed on the inner zip lapel of the jacket states that this jacket is suitable for temperatures between +0C and +15C. The jacket is fleece lined, so if you're wearing it for any training or hard riding, you're going be sweating in this jacket. I primarily bought this jacket for commuting (Yellow Fluo/Black) which keeps me warm on cold Autumn mornings. It has a nice snug cut / fit, which is ideal for cycling, so won't be flapping in the wind. I have been caught in a heavy downpour in this jacket and it performed very well, kept me warm and dry (well my arms and torso, the rest of me was soaked through). Sizing wise, it seems about right for cycling clothing, I'm 6ft and 85Kg and the XL is pretty much spot on. I only wear a thin long sleeve base layer underneath, mainly because sweaty arms moving against the fleece inner lining feels unpleasant.
