Excelent, versatile jacket (05.01.2021)

I,ve had this as my main jacket since 2016 and am very impressed by it. I am 179 tall, with a 38"chest and got the jacket in a size 48.
It fits snugly without being restrictive, the vents on the hqnds, shoilders and chest qs well qs the two exaust vents in the back do a good job of letting hot air out. My longest stint in hot weather was about 2 hours in 34 degree heat and i was fine as long as i was moving. I dont think i would push it any higher though and you should make sure to keep hydrated.
On the other end i went as low as a constant 5 degrees C with it but you need to pile on the base layers :)) the windproof membrane is great at what it does but for actual water resistance i recommend an external layer. The included internal layer will work but you will soak the jacket and have an overal bad time later, although 30 minute showers can be defeated by the included kit.
The comfort is good even out the gate and gets better as it is worn in. The jacket is stiff overall but not in any of the directions you would be moving in while on the bike so it is all day wearable even with all of the included armor.
Speaking of armor, you dont need to buy anything extra, everything is included and built in, ready to go.
One negative is the damn logo which is made of some rubber glued on to a flexible metalic surface. The result was predictable, the rubber fell off so now i have a silver triangle where the logo used to be. But this jacket is all function so it is not a big deal.
