I've been looking for a good shell that I can use for cycling when the weather is less than ideal. How would this jacket fare? I would like if I could wear it casually around town as well, and this seems to be for athletic use only. Anyone have any other recommendations? Looking for something less than $200.

I bought the previous version of the Transition Jacket for cold-weather cycling and it is perfect for that purpose. The arms are nice and long and the thumb loops ensure that the sleeves are going to stay where they belong. There is also plenty of length in the back of the jacket. I like the idea with the new version here of making the material on the back of the jacket more breathable - you might lose some of the protection offered by having windstopper throughout the entire jacket, but depending on your needs it could be a good compromise. I haven't seen this jacket in person to say whether I would wear it casually around town, but I bought last years transition jacket in flash green, and it is definitely not something I would plan on wearing casually.
