2-in-1, with great pockets By Froggy the Gremlin from Blacksburg, VA on 10/28/2009 Pros: Dries Quickly, Good Pockets and Features, Lightweight, Versatile Best Uses: Casual Wear, Commuting, Mountain Biking, Road riding Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Sizing: Feels half size too big Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Don't know about its durability yet. Love the front zipped and interior front pockets. Like that sleeves zip off at shoulders without a cape attachment as with other manufacturers' designs. Seemed to be a wide size difference since the large (42-44) was very baggy, and the medium (40-42) slightly tight with shorter sleeves (I'm 6'). With the sleeves off, the large vest's arm holes were too big and drafty. I (size 42) opted for the medium for the aerodynamic benefit. I like the rear pocket/stuff sack, but it could use an adjustable strap for easier wearing as a fanny pack; as it is, the strap and buckle can be tight around the waist. Would have liked the option of brighter colors. All in all, this meets my needs as a versatile, one-piece wind jacket/vest, eliminating the need to carry both or make a decision as to which one to wear. It is compact and stuffs into a jersey pocket or into its own rear pocket and worn as a fanny pack.
For that price you can't beat it!

Great value for the price By Car D Yak from Philadelphia, PA on 09/01/2009 Pros: Dries Quickly, Good Pockets and Features, Lightweight Best Uses: Bad Weather, Road Racing Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This jacket is great for riding on cool days.
Light and convenient shell. By batmick from Carlsbad, CA on 09/01/2009 Pros: Dries Quickly, Good Pockets and Features, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought this to have a light shell with vest option for my commute. Should be perfect for those "brutal" SoCal winters. Have not yet had a chance to test it in bad weather but it looks like it will provide adequate protection against cold, wind and light rain. Don't think I'd want to use it in really bad rain though.
By Tall Paul from Shawnee, KS on 08/25/2009 Pros: Good Pockets and Features, Lightweight Best Uses: Bad Weather, Commuting Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have been looking for a versatile rain/wind jacket that is also convertible and STP has some good choices. I purchased this jacket as well as the Descente Axiom jacket to see which one was better. I actually liked the Canari jacket better because it seemed to have better pockets, zips would be easier to operate while riding, the front zip is dual-op, it stuffed smaller, and it was cheaper. However, I returned this jacket for two specific reasons: First the color on TSP says "black" but shows as more of a dark gray color. Make no mistake, this jacket is black which I didn't care for personally. Second, and more important, is that the sleeves were way too short for me. I'm 6' 4" so fit problems are not uncommon, but Canari is usually good. I kept the Descente and really like it too.
Great Jacket / Vest Combo By MrBobzilla from Ventura, CA on 08/19/2009 Pros: Breathable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Good Pockets and Features, Lightweight, Versatile Best Uses: Bad Weather, Casual Wear, Commuting, Mountain Biking, Road Racing Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This jacket is a very versatile jacket / vest combo that does what it was intended to do - give you the option to modify your outer wear depending on the changing weather. I'm usually an XL and I ordered an XL and it fit well. The construction is pretty durable and the jacket rolls up compactly for easy transportation.
