Pearl iZUMi Men''s Select Barrier Wxb Jacket

Having been using this for more than an year, I can say I''m fully satisfied with this jacket.

I still hadn''t the chance for catching a heavy storm while using it, but used under moderate rain several times and my shirt under it haven''t got a single rain drop at all. And while it offers a moderate degree against wind, it won''t cook you under higher temperatures, since it''s breathable.

Of course, you''ll sweat more while using it under warmer temperatures than by not using a jacket, and it won''t protect you from cold if all you''re wearing under it is a t-shirt (you''ll fell the cold wind against your skin on parts not covered by extra clothing), but as long you''re using a long sleeved shirt, you won''t be feeling extra cold from wind and if you need extra cold protection, just use adequate clothing (whatever you''d be using if not under rain or strong winds).

The colour is also very nice to have in cycling gear. It''s kinda like marker pen colour and will keep you visible as long as there is some light (it has reflexive bands and the rest of the surface is very attention drawing).

And to it can go into washing machine to boot. I''ve washed mine this way a few times and it show no signs of degradation.

I am so satisfied with it that I bought pants as well, from the same line and with same degree of satisfation.

Unlike the lighter packable bike jackets, this one has a second inner layer, a kind of rubbery material, which holds heat in. I find climbing hills over 50 degrees I need to take it off as it gets too hot and sweaty. Best in cold weather, or on downhill or easy riding on fairly cool days. For a proper snug fit on a 6''1" person, Large would be right. The sleeves are long enough. I bought an XL because I like a looser fit. It is but sleeves need rolled up. The back folds up if you want to use it for cold weather jogging. My only wish is that it has some ventilation zippers for the uphill climbs.

Must admit that I just received this jacket and I haven''t tried it in the rain but if it''s like any other cycling clothing from Pearl that I own I know I won''t be disappointed. I wear and ordered a Large and the size is just right. Sleeves are extra long to fit down over the ends of my gloves and the fit is semi-form fitting and just the way I like it (no excessive flapping in the wind). The hood fits well over my helmet & is removable for when you don''t want to use it/need it. The jacket is a spring/summer/fall style of jacket that I feel will be well suited to those cycling days in the rain. Pearl clothing is not always the least expensive but they do "get it right".

It is a well built and visible and functional jacket. The only wish is about the hoot. It is very tiny and does not cover well. I wear the jacket with an elite soft shell jacket and a base layer in 40 degree weather without feeling cold and wind at all. It is missing the heat release feature. The heat did cause the inner layer of this jacket go wet. However, I am basically warm and dry inside. I definitely recommend it. It is expensive but worth it.
