Przewalski Cycling Bike Jackets for Men Winter Thermal Running Jacket Windproof Breathable Reflective Softshell Windbreaker

I bought this jacket for wearing during winter riding when temperatures are below 40°F. I wanted something fleece lined that would protect me from the wind and rain. This jacket does really well with the first one, not so well with the second.The jacket provides excellent protection for temperatures below 40. I've ridden with it all the way down to 31, recently. It hasn't been colder than that here, so I can't say how low it'd be good for. It does an amazing job at keeping the wind out and keeping me warm.It is not so great in the rain, though. Last night I rode 31 miles in the rain with a temperature of 39°F. The jacket absorbs the rain and holds on to it. Not a good jacket for the rain. However, if you put a windbreaker over top of it, something water proof that'll keep out the rain, then its perfect for rain weather too. It just doesn't do well wet.The jacket has several zipped compartments and reflectors. The zippers are fine-pitched metal and work well though I could see them binding and breaking if not careful. There are three pockets on the rear for bottles and snacks. Those pockets are not water resistant, though, so be careful with your phone. The jacket is cut longer in the back and likely best for drop-bar road and gravel cyclist.Fit wise, I am 5'11 and 160lbs and carry my weight in my stomach. I bought a size Small. I had originally bought a Medium but returned it. It was just too loose in the midsection. The Small fits me exactly how I want it to fit. Tight enough not to bunch in my mid section or flap in the wind but not so tight it won't sit over top of a long-sleeve jersey.

I'm from Northern NY/Vermont. I've only worn this once but it was on a 4 hour ride in Southeast Vermont and Massachusetts in November (just under 6 hours total with a few stops and some class 4 hike a bike). 4 hours, 40 miles (road, gravel and single track) and 4466ft gained. Temps started out in the mid 30s and were forecast to be in the 45-50 range but unfortunately climbed to 62F. Max speeds 40mph,sustained speeds over 25mph, max uphill sustained 8% for 6 miles, 24.5% max gradient up. Basically this jacket saw it all except rain.Heres what I can say. First, I'm warm natured. So understand if you are cold this might not apply.1. At 36F this jacket was absolutely fine. I wore this with a long sleeve summer weight jersey and fleeze lined lycra tights. Full finger uninsulated gloves. I prefer to be mildly cold and at 36F I was a little cool at the extremities.2. Within 1 hour and by 40F I was fairly warm. I believe this jacket is adequate in temps to 35-45F depending on your comfort level.3. By 50F and sunny I was sweating a lot. It does breath somewhat. The back is totally breathable. The front and sleeves appear to be wind and mostly vapor proof. I don't mean it doesn't breath at all, but even top of the line Goretex wets out under extreme load.Summary on breathability: back, dry as a bone. Sleeves: It reminds me of 1999/2000 era Gore Windstopper. Soaked. Chest, slightly less wet due to zipper. Same material.Water resistantance: Appears to be water resistant but cannot confirm.Overall this is a nice jacket for cold dry weather. I wouldn't get this for a humid climate with temps in the 50-60 range. 35-45 is your sweet spot (everyone is different of course).Fit and finish were nice. Amazon should list my size. I'm currently 5'10" 174lbs and it was a little big in the core. But it could handle a thicker layer and in winter ultra snug is less important than being comfortable.As noted it reminds me of 1999 era Gore Windstopper and is well made. If you know what Windstopper is, you either will run from this or not care. For me, it's fine.

For the price a good cycling jacket when it’s 40-50 degrees or slightly lower if layered. Good looking and fits well. Only downside so far is the jacket doesn’t breath at all so you will be very sweaty if you are pushing it on your ride. But overall, a good addition to my winter cycling gear, especially for the price
