I typically wear a size xs/0 for casual clothing. I went with a size s for this jacket so I could layer easily. I find the cut to be a bit boxy, and I think I might have been fine with a size xs in this jacket. I can easily layer it over a slightly bulky fleece jacket. I'm 5'4" and the length works for me. The sleeves are long enough that I can tuck them under my gloves so my wrists aren't exposed when riding my road bike. The reflective elements are adequate.
The jacket has a single back pocket. I personally wish it had side pockets as well. The material the pocket is made of is a very light and stretchy mesh. I don't think I would trust it to hold my keys -- I could see the material tearing and my keys spilling out during a ride. It's nice how the jacket can be folded back into the pocket.
On a 60+ degrees days, I overheated even with just a light t-shirt underneath. On 40 degrees days, it's a bit toasty after a couple miles with a thermal layer underneath. The windproof rating seems accurate. It keeps my core warm. I've put the sleeve under a running tap and the water beaded right off. I've found that I need both hands when manipulating the zippers, making it difficult to adjust while riding.
It's a nice jacket but I wouldn't pay full retail price for it. I was able to purchase it from Amazon for just under 37 dollars, and at that price, it's an excellent jacket. I've only had it for several weeks, so I can't attest to the durability at this point.

This jacket is horribly made. The construction is poor, even shoddy. The zippers will not hold up over time; it's strange the company would include such weak zippers on durable Gore Tex material. The wrist cuffs, the part that goes around the wrist, are held together with nothing more than three dime-sized velcro circles, the kind you can find in any craft store.
My guess is that this jacket would last about 1 or 2 seasons.
I was hoping to replace my 10-year-old, GoreTex Bellwether jacket, but apparently it won't be with this piece. The cost of the jacket isn't going into labor, and it's certainly not going into the construction, so what gives?
