Mountain Hardwear WindStopper Tech Jacket - Men's
Jumping off the bandwagon...

After hearing so many great reviews, this only nets 4 stars in my book. Yes, it is warm. Yes, it is good for layering. But the selling point of this jacket is as a stand-alone system - why else would it have the windstopper layer?
I bike frequently (read: everywhere) and this layered with a t-shirt and undershirt is only good to about upper 30s, lower 40s for me. Below that, I either put on TNF Vortex shell, an Arc'teryx Fission AR insulated jacket, or put a stronger Sugino Merino Wool baselayer (great combo for cycling).
In the end, I'd buy this again, but only if I could get it shipped for under $140. About me: I'm 5'9 and ~140lbs. depending on how much pizza I eat.
