I don't know if the fit would be ideal for cycling but the material would perform well. Apex Aerobic is very breathable, wind resistant, and quite stretchy.

No. The Elixir is made of Apex Aerobic which is more breathable but not windproof. The Bionic is made of Apex ClimateBlock which is less breathable but completely windproof.

Good, light option.

I bought this as a lightweight option to take the edge off those brisk mornings and have really been impressed. It does a great job with light moisture and snow, but if it is actually storming, a heavier option is probably a better choice, as this will soak through if it is subjected to much heavy moisture. For what it is designed to do though, it performs perfectly.
