“Great jacket. I am 75cm (5'8''-5'9'') and 79 Kg (170lbs) and I got the M. It fits perfectly. I am an L in Castelli.
Now, I rode this yesterday in -2C (30F) and today in 3C (36F). I wore Siroko's Merino baselayer the first day, and a long sleeve jersey the second. The jacket kept me warm during my rides (~2.5 hrs). It is chilly (not very cold) for the first 10-20 minutes while the wind blows, but you warm up very quickly.
It is a little warmer than my Castelli Perfetto. I am tempted to get another.
Why 4 stars? 2 reasons:
1. The zippers for the back pockets are too small to grab with gloves. I had trouble getting my gels out during the ride. A lot of trouble.
2. If you are in the US, it will take 3 weeks to arrive.”
“Eccezionale! Taglia corretta. Materiali di qualità e colori molto belli. Sono veramente soddisfatto di questa esperienza di acquisto. Consigliatissimo!”
“Let me just say, that for the price i think it is 5 stars, and can be 5 stars even in certain conditions, but since it is advertised as premium quality for a low price i deducted 2 stars for the following reasons:
1: Accessing the pockets through the zippers is really hard in winter gloves, especialy zipping the pocket back up
2: i rode it in around 7-12 degrees. When i started, the warmest part of my body was the upper body and arms(siroko wins), even thou i had premium brand gloves and long bibs. When i got going, my hands and legs got warm too, so i was able to go up a 10km 6% climb with no issues, i felt warm and cosy. But on the descent, the premium kit hold up to the wind, whereas siroko didn't. I was freezing in the torso and arms as never before. Don't know what the reason is, but with a thinner premium jacket, i didn't have that issues.
Fit: I am 174cm, 70kg, M size fits perfectly
Conclusion: if u don't plan to use it on descents and are more capable than me with unzipping things during ride i think it is a great jacket, but otherwise i would keep the things i wrote in mind when deciding to buy.
Sory siroko for the 3 stars, i like the stuff i got from u so far, i just think buyers should be aware of the posible drawbacks. But le me just say, that i would still buy it for this price, just wouldn't have taken it on i ride that i did.”
