Comments: It runs a teeny bit large, but is a great jacket. Love the design. Love that the sleeves unzip and it becomes a vest. Breaks the wind well. Very breathable fabric. High quality product. Would definitely purchase again! |

Comments: I wear this jacket for cycling and running. Great to take out on the boat as well. Perfect for when it starts out a little cool and then you can wrap it around your waist once things warm up. I bought the pink one and get lots of compliments on it, think I will buy the yellow one soon too. |

Comments: Great outer layer for a trail ride on a crisp, fall day. Easy to pack away later, when the afternoon warmed up. HIGHLY VISIBLE for when I ride on the road in foul weather. |

Comments: This jacket is very packable, can fit in a water bottle holder on the bike or a jersey pocket. Haven't used the jacket as a vest yet, but very impressed with its versatility. Does NOT have a clammy feel even during a hard work-out/ride. Highly recommended. Sizes are true. |

Comments: I've been cycling in severe winter storms and had my Gore-Tex layer soak through and had this underneath and it kept the under layer dry! Great jacket and so breathable for cycling, running, hiking when you need a wind barrier.... This is my second Pearl Izumi jacket in 10 years, so they wear well and wash well too. |

Comments: I bought this following a couple of rides on foggy mornings when I was worried about my visibility to traffic. I love the fabric and the possibility of converting to a vest on warmer days. |

Comments: Very lightweight. A good windbreaker; doesn't add warmth. Detachable bolero-type sleeves are nifty, but do billow a bit in the wind when attached. |
