Backcountry.com Rime Pullover Jacket - Men's
Great Spring Biking Top

Ranked #433 - Men's Softshell Jackets
May 8, 2009
This is a must have top for spring biking. Going to work, it has been about -5C while coming home the temps are usually 12-18C. I generally cruise at about 25kph. Zipped up in the mornings with just a single Icebreaker 140 T underneath there are almost no problems with the cold or wind. Coming home, I usually have it unzipped by about half way home and it works out perfectly. The only slight problem I have is that for some reason, my wrists get cold in the wind. Not sure if the windproof material is absent there, but that's the only place where I can feel any wind. Love the carrot color: it's a great orange - not too bright, not too subtle.
