Many have commented on its performance in rain, but I was wondering how does this jacket do with wind? Also, if I wear just a t-shirt underneath on a cool day during a hard bike ride, is it breathable enough with the pit zips open or will it stick to my arms?

I wear this jacket a lot when riding my bike around town. Because it does block wind well, I'll bring it to throw on over a thinner layer and it keeps me warm. However, if I'm really working hard on the bike, even with the pit zips open the inside will get clammy. On super cold ski days, I throw it in my pack to put over my softshell if necessary.If you want a good all around light, waterproof jacket/shell, you can't go wrong with this one.If you want something specifically for hard mtb or road riding, I'd go with something bike-specific that is more breathable and has reflective strips.
