“The pros: It's warm - I've ridden in negative temps with this and a base layer and been perfectly warm. Style - Looks great all around. Zippers - The zippers, especially the vents, are easy to use with big gloves on. The cons: Length - Even though it is a drop tail jacket, I think it could be a touch longer in the back or a touch shorter in the front. Something about the current length causes the back to flare up, away from my butt, which allows air and debris to kick up. Rear pockets - They need to be tighter. They sit wide open, which lets debris that gets kicked up by the rear tire to go straight into them. Arm size - Too big around biceps. I wear a small and the arms could fit a professional body builder in them at the biceps. The size around the wrist and length of them is good though. Overall it's great. It keeps me warm, which is the top priority. The inside is lined with a nice material that's soft against your arms if you don't wear a long sleeve base layer.”

“This jacket works well for me from low 40s to the 30s with just a base layer underneath. Fit is just right: snug without being restrictive and allowing room for additional layers. Well constructed and the zipper pulls are easy to manage with gloves on.”

“Really great jacket with 1 missing feature to make it perfect. Jacket has fantastic fit and materials, I like the back pockets. It is really missing a chest pocket, when you consider that the bib tights don't have a leg pocket for your phone. If I go for a ride I'd like to have an easy accessible pocket to put my phone. A couple more things could be made to improve but more like nitpicking, I'd like to see a two way zipper and larger vent zippers. They vents do help cool you down a bit, but should be longer, also there is really no reason I see to not have a two way zipper on cycling jackets . Overall this is still the best jacket in my cycling wardrobe”

“I bought this jacket to replace a winter jacket that was very good but part of a former team kit. I have to say that it is exceptionally comfy with the fuzzy lining and good stretch for what is a very very windproof and waterproof jacket. My only complaint is that, as Pactimo's top-of-the-line winter jacket it is missing some of the obvious features that would make it my go-to cold and blustery winter day jacket. First of all, a chest pocket (interior or exterior) would help with some extra gear or provide a place to put your cell phone in really inclement weather. The rear pockets, given their openness can fill up with grime and mud if you get into some gnarly conditions which I experienced just a day ago. My cell phone was completely mud covered and I had to hose the grit out of my pockets before I washed it when I got home. My other gripe is that the side "vent" zippers also don't do a whole lot. They should be a lot bigger or positioned more in the armpits. They just don't catch any air and you're going to have to unzip the entire front just to not sweat on longer climbs in the cold which could be done with any other jacket or jersey. I just can't tell a difference when they are open or closed. For a company as specialized in road cycling as Pactimo I would expect a little more thought put into this top-of-the-line jacket. At the end of the day, it's just a really weatherproof 3-pocket long-sleeve jersey with some fuzzy lining and barely functional vents, but I still love it anyhow. I'm 5'10", 150 lbs and a size small fits me perfectly with good torso and sleeve length.”
