'I FELT LIKE I WAS ON THE BRIDGE OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE!'
Strengths:
A SUPERBLY CUT JACKET WITH FINE DETAILING. THE MATERIAL FEELS THICK AND SPRINGY, YET SUPRISINGLY LIGHT. ONCE ON, THE JACKET FITS LIKE GLUE, WITH BOTH CUFF AND REAR BACK GRIPPERS MAKING SURE THIS JACKET DOESN'T RIDE UP ON THE RIDE. REAR POCKETS ARE A TREAT, VERY DEEP AND TIGHT, WITH A ZIPPED POCKET A VERY WELCOME ADDITION.
Weaknesses:
THAT DAMN PRESSTUD, TRY FASTENING THE COLLAR WITH ONE HAND, WITH GLOVES ON! VERY FINNICKY, BUT ONCE CLOSED, VERY SNUG. NOT AS WARM AS I THOUGHT IT'D BE, MY CANNONDALE THERMO JACKET WINS HANDS DOWN. WOULD ADVISE GILLET TO BE WORN WITH IT, AS CHEST DID FEEL A LITTLE COLD ON SOME RIDES IN EARLY NOVEMBER 04.
Overall:
GREAT JACKET, AND REASSURINGLY EXPENSIVE, I LOVE THE POSE VALUE OF THIS STUFF AND THE FACT IT ACUTALLY WORKS AND HAS BEEN THOUGHT OUT PROPERLY. IF YOU GET YOUR BASE LAYER RIGHT AND MAYBE ADD A WINDPROOF GILLET, THIS JACKET, COMES INTO ITS OWN.

'I NEVER WEAR ANOTHER JACKET NOW'
Strengths:
The fit is fantastic. I find it easily warm enough, and it keeps enough rain out to get you home unless it starts absolutely bucketing.
Weaknesses:
The press stud on the collar is a pain to get done up.
Overall:
Worth the money.
