This is a really good cycling jacket, especially for the price. I commute daily 20 miles year-round in Chicago. This jacket is true to size, fits well (not too tight or bulky), well made and looks good, has excellent windbreaking and very good waterproofing. I use it as my standard outer layer in spring and fall for windbreaking and rain (it's a single layer inside, no netting, but breathes well), and have come to use it in very cold weather as my outer shell, as it fits well over a standard biking coat. Pocket well placed and right size, zippers work well, hood well designed, has held up well to wear and tear so far. Very pleased with this purchase. Read more
Love this windbreaker... lots of pockets and good hood. Have worn it multiple times while running to cut the wind and protect against rain. Very visible jacket so vehicles can see you when running across roadways. Also used it during walks... light and bright... just get this. Read more
Why did you pick this product vs others?: Hasn't rained to test it but I like it so far. Makes a great windbreaker jacket. Enough venting so I don't get sweaty. When I first opened the package and put the jacket on, there was a lot crinkling noise which I did not like, but oddly, it has become quieter with use. Also, the hood is slightly on the large size, but it's fine. It's very light and I like the color and fit. It's more of a shorter jacket length than a longer 3/4. True to size. I got the med. Average build. 5'7". 168# Size: Med Value for money: good Lining: none Lightweight: yes Read more
Bought this for running. Have worn it in a light rain, and in heavy snow, and on some cold windy mornings and it's been great. I usually run pre-dawn, so the many reflective portions are great to have. This is truly a water/rain resistant jacket, and a great windbreaker as well. I recently ran for over 2 hours/13 miles in blowing snow and wind chills in the low teens/upper singles (F) and was never cold nor did any moisture get in. One of my favorite pieces of running gear now. Makes me hope to have some rainy mornings to run! Read more
Well made and a great price point. I'm generally an extra large (LX) and ordered a XXL - glad I did, fits great. I use this for mainly when I'm fishing and block the wind tremendously. Light weight, flexible and I like the reflectiveness for night - surprisingly keeps you warm. Read more
This is a very good, lightweight rain jacket in appearance, but haven't yet used it, so can't attest to its waterproof quality. Small fits me pretty well, considering I'm only 5' 1.5", 120 pounds. It has a textured, clothlike feel on the outside, with a PVC/plastic lining, to repel water, of course. All the zippers work well, with 3 zip pockets on the outside front, and 1 large on the back, which also acts as a storage compartment for easy packing and transport. Additionally, It has 2 large inner pockets, and 1 small one. The hood is huge, as it's designed to accommodate bike helmets and/or maybe other head gear, so that's very understandable. It does, however, have a drawstring in the back to shrink it, which works well, even for my rather small head. Additionally, you can roll the hood into a collar, when you're not using it, with the attached velcro closures included. I bought this for a trip to Israel in the Spring. There's probably not a lot of rain there, but don't want to get caught outside on a tour without protection. I find this jacket as perfect as they come in a lightweight, the manufacturer seems to have thought of just about everything, in terms of quality, design and features...now if it only keeps out the rain, as it claims, is my only remaining question.

BALEAF is a good brand. I have ordered other outdoor clothing from BALEAF before, and I have been satisfied with the quality. Great value for the money. This jacket is compact and lightweight. Great for packing in your carry on bag. Don't know about the durability yet, but at this price, it doesn't hurt to replace it with a new one if it breaks. Order one size bigger than your regular size; they tend to run small. Read more
