Temps starting to be a bit too cool in the mornings for just my mesh jacket, so I decided to spring for a new jacket. Bought one of the above, in blue Denim, initial impression is very nice.

I tried a medium size, and although it seemed to fit fine at shoulders and arms, it was a bit snug at the waist (I do have a spare tire) and around the hips, where I don't have any extra baggage. So went with a large. It feels slightly big, but wife and daughter both say it looks right. Even with the liner in, it definitely has room for at least another layer for colder times.

Wore it Sat and Sunday mornings (temps in the mid - high 60's) with vents closed and liner out, it was real comfortable. Later, both days, with the temps in the low to mid 80's, opened all the vents and it felt good. Plenty of airflow.

Jacket is definitely heavy, wouldn't want to walk around in it all day.

Will report further when the weather gets lots colder, at least for around here

I've had mine a couple of years now and it's a great all around jacket until it gets over 85° on a sunny day or under 40°.

I had a small let-down in one. Work well in protecting me. Looks nice too.
