Love it but watch the Velcro!

I love this jacket with the sleeves on but when I unzipped the sleeves, I noticed the Velcro near the armholes would snag my long-sleeve jersey. I thought the problem would fix itself once I was positioned properly on my bike, but when I returned from my ride, my sleeve (upper interior bicep area) was quite ragged. It's the only disappointment, however. The jacket is cut perfectly, has excellent ventilation but also cuts the wind chill without overheating me. I bought the Moab/Golden Orange jacket and receive many compliments on it. I think Pearl Izumi would make a perfect jacket if they'd just switch the rough Velcro to the removable portion of the sleeves and leave the soft Velcro on the jacket body (an easy fix, I think). I'd still recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile, lightweight biking jacket. I'm 5'7" size 6-8 and bought a Medium. It fits perfectly.
