'EXCELLENT ALL-ROUNDER'
Strengths:
Windproof, waterproof, warm, not too baggy
Weaknesses:
One rear pocket, but that's a minor gripe.
Overall:
This is an excellent autumn/winter jacket. Nice long tail, very high collar, and keeps you warm and dry.

'GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY JACKET'
Strengths:
Versatile, wind proof and good value for money.
Weaknesses:
The roubaix fabric on the sleeve can chill the back of your arms on cold days
Overall:
A very good jacket for the colder winter days. I just wear a wicking layer, and a short sleeved jersey under the jacket on frosty days, and I use arm warmers to keep the back of my arms a little warmer.

'VERY GOOD JACKET'
Strengths:
Warm and very windproof. I've used mine through a couple of winters now and have no complaints. Dry - got caught in a monsoon last year and it kept 99% of it out.
Weaknesses:
Zip broke on rear pocket after @ 12 months.
Overall:
I'd definately buy another

'AN EXCELLENT JACKET.'
Strengths:
Kept me warm in cool weather. (Haven't had it for really cold yet.)
It hammered down on my last ride, it kept me dry. It stopped any wind penetration. It will save me a) spending loads on winter clothes b)Looking like a Michelin man when leaving home. The jacket is as above without being bulky to wear.
I would say a good Helly Hansen type top underneath will be enough for most days. It has a rear zipped pocket.
Weaknesses:
None really. I suppose it isn't that 'cool' looking. Who cares when you're warm and dry.
Overall:
A very good jacket that does what it says on the tin !

'KEEPS ME WARM ANY WAY'
Strengths:
Warm jacket and not restrictive by any means
Weaknesses:
The zip on rear pocket let the jacket down by jamming then breaking,mum-in-law's got a sewing machine!!!!
Overall:
I got this jacket early Jan. so used it in some of the hardest frosts of last winter.I found this garment not
too bulky at all.I try not to ride in the rain,if I get caught ,can't be helped,the jacket keeeps me reasonably dry.
