Does it all

Ranked #1215 - Men's Jackets
May 11, 2009
Pros: Warm, Amfib (wind and water blocking) chest and outer arms, fits nicely, durable
Cons: None at all
This jacket is a must buy. It doesnt feel super warm, but once you get moving in it, you realize the jacket and base layer is perfect for cold weather activity. The amfib front is perfect in the cold and I wear it as an outer layer on hikes all the time. Tree branches do no harm. The non amfib fabric is a nice mesh, that regulates your body temp very well on rides. Couple this jacket with Amfib tights and youll be able to handle even the coldest windest days in the saddle. I was hesistant to buy at 160, but would gladly pay 260 for one now that I've owned one
