- Is this jacket fully waterproof?
- Yes. It uses a three-layer polyurethane membrane with welded seams, so rain does not get through the fabric. The zip is not a storm-flap design, so driving rain can seep at the front over long exposure.
- Is it good for cycling?
- It is cut short and loose with stretch, which suits upright city riding. There are no pit zips, so you will overheat on fast or long rides.
- How does it fit?
- It runs loose and cropped, sitting around the hip. Most buyers take their usual size; size up only if you want to layer a thick sweater underneath.
- Can I pack it in a bag?
- Yes. The thin coated polyester folds down small enough for a tote or backpack, though it does not come with a stuff sack.
- Does it have pockets?
- It has front zip pockets. They are not taped, so keep valuables in a dry bag in heavy rain.
- Is it warm?
- No. It is an unlined shell meant for layering. The coating blocks wind, which adds some warmth, but there is no insulation.
