I love this jacket. Water just beads up and rolls off. The fit is pretty perfect except that it is an inch short in the front for my comfort. I like the tail that covers your rear-end, but the front comes right to my belt line, so if it rides up at all your mid-section is a little exposed. It does not raise up with your arms, it's cut perfectly in the shoulders.When it does get wet it essentially can be shaken dry. It stops a good percentage of the wind, but isn't hot at all. The pit-zips are great. If you start feeling hot you can unzip those and they immediately cool you down. The vent across your shoulder blades is great too. I like the detachable hood and the rear pocket. It folds into the rear pocket by essentially flipping it inside out. The zipper for the rear pocket has a zipper pull inside and out, which gives you a clue on it needing to be flipped to zip it up.Overall I'd give the jacket an 8.5 out of 10, missing 1.5 points for being a little short. I wish they offered tall sizes, but I'll deal with it as it doesn't fall short when I'm riding (I ride in a more aggressive stance, leaning forward makes it so it doesn't expose my stomach.
