Measure!
This is my wife's account. I am 5'-11" 187#'s I measured my chest and mid-section per the charts requirements prior to ordering. Chest 44" mid-section 37" (I wear 34" pants). I ordered on Monday and product arrived Wednesday. Packaging was as expected. I am a daily runner (3-4 miles). I know this is a cycling jacket but, I use it for running. I tried the product on and first thing you notice is the length of the arms (longer than expected). The fit along my chest felt restrictive. I took of the jacket to make sure it was the proper size. I confirmed it was XL. Put it back on and tried to zip it up. The handle is kind of small and it's on the wrong side. But, no big deal. I zipped it and it is snug. So, if your measurements are similar to mine XL is the smallest size you should get. Being snug is good for what I want out of this product for running so, I'm okay with that. Thursday morning temp was 31 degrees I wore a compression long sleeve shirt with a light cotton t-shirt over that and this jacket fully zipped and running shorts. I put my phone in one of the back pockets, my mace in the other and set off. I did not notice either of those items during my run but knew they were secure back there. Upper body was warm the entire time so it worked as expected. Now for the cons. The sleeves are long and restrictive. Again, it may not be the fault of the mfg. because this is intended to be a cycling jacket but, if you plan to use it for running and you wear a watch that shows your pace and distance this is a challenge. You will have to tug pretty hard on the jacket to make the watch face visible. The moisture from sweat wicked through the sleeves on my shirt to the inside fabric of the jacket. So, once you complete your activity I'd highly recommend you turn the entire jacket inside out to dry. Overall it kept me warm, secured my things, and did it's job so I'm pretty pleased.

Great Fitting Jacket
This xl fits just right, could be a tad bit longer in the front but in cycling position it will be perfect. The back goes down a lil bit more so that's good. It has a breathable panel in the front chest area that should make this jacket great for cold weather cycling. I'm 6'1 210 and the xl fits perfect. I like that it has 3 back pockets, 2 front zipper pockets and 2 inner mesh pockets. Seems very well made for the money. I've yet to be out in some cold weather with it but I can tell It will be great. Good buy !

Perfectly contoured fit for cycling plus the fleece inner feels extra comfy against your skin
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. This jacket is great for cycling. I don’t ride with a seat bag so I’m always looking for gear with extra zipper pockets for my car keys, wallet, and phone. The 2 zipper pockets in the front have plenty of space for all my important items that I wouldn’t want falling out during a long ride. The fit is true to size, exactly as described by their size chart. It’s roomy enough to fit a base layer and long sleeve jersey underneath but snug enough that you can tell it’s obviously a cycling jacket. The body is cut short like a jersey and the armholes are nice and high to keep fit in place and aero under windy conditions. My favorite thing about this jacket is the plush fleece interior. It’s fully lined the whole way through the jacket all the way up to the neck. This thing will definitely keep you warm on even the coldest of days. I highly recommend this for your cold weather riding.

Good secondary layer for a motorcycle
I bought this to wear underneath my motorcycle jacket on cold mornings. I wanted something fairly light, and skin tight, but warm. Is not as right as I was hoping for, with liked nominal sizes. But, it fits under the jacket, and works as I hoped. It doesn't overheat me, but keeps me from getting cold. The high neck, sleeve cuffs, and slightly adhesive coat tail keep wind out. It seems slightly waterproof, though I wouldn't trust it in heavy rain. The color is okay, and the style is pretty straight forward and sporty. I can't vouch for the pockets, aside from saying that they don't get in the way of my padded jacket.

Good for winter riding
Excellent quality and overall fit. Good fit in chest and shoulders but sleeves are snug (streamlined fit, no loose fabric to flap in the wind).Very warm-- great for winter riding... best on rides 40°F or colder. Can be a bit too warm when the temperature gets above 50°F.

Excellent value
I bought this as a newbie. I have zero experience with biking and related accessories. Sure I had a bike as a kid and I biked during college and a little after but I just "had" a bike, I was never a cyclist. So when I went looking for a jacket that would keep me from freezing on my morning rides that I just started doing in February of this year, I was looking for something inexpensive I could learn from.This jacket is absolutely perfect for me. It fits like a glove but not too tight.I am certain that there must be "better" ones out there but as a newbie I cannot imagine what a more expensive jacket would have...

Great quality, fit and look
Great article. I have almost every product Souke offers on amazon. Very nice fit and quality ! I was debating for a long time which size to buy. By the chart I was 100% M but thanks to the reviews and my previous purchases from Souke I ordered L ( a size up like usual ). It fits me perfect. So if you need a good priced great quality biking jacket for beginners/intermediate riders this is the one. Just remember to go up 1 size. I'm 1.71m 84km and L is my size. Cheers !

Great for the money spent - Use for running
I bought this to use while running in the cold weather. I live in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario. Today it was wet snow coming down at a rate that it was pelting my face and accumulating on the ground. It was about -4 degrees Celsius (just under freezing). The jacket performed well. I stayed completely warm. Underneath the jacket I was wearing a short sleeve compression fit base layer and over that a lightweight (not fleece) long sleeve hoodie. The jacket repelled all the snow and was dry to the touch shortly after getting inside. The inside of jacket got a bit moist from my sweating inside but not a big deal. The jacket lies nice and flat when undone and the construction and zipper seem to be good quality.The sleeves are a great length for me and the jacket fits my shoulders perfectly. I have a very hard time finding jackets that fir me properly as I have very broad shoulders (around 50") and a slim waist (around 34").I am 6'2 inches (188 cm), 180 lbs, (82 kg). I bought the jacket in XL size .

Not a winter jacket for Manitoba
Looks tapered tight fitting. Looks great.According to sizing I was a small. I ordered a large so I could wear a sweater underneath.They sent me medium. Not sure if I can put a sweater underneath.I’m not sending it back. Wore jacket to get the mail. It is wind resistant.Weather has turned cold and we had first snow that melted right away.Cold at -9c.

Jacket is NOT breathable as advertised
I ride my bike every day. I needed a jacket to get me through the winter months. I've been using this now for 2 months. On the positive side, it fits well, looks good and has 3 rear pockets which not all biking jackets have. On the negative side, it is not at all breathable. Unless; I am riding for less than an hour in near freezing temperatures, the sleeves and the main torso area on the inside are going to get damp. That is when it's between 2C and 10C outside. Anything warmer and you won't want to be wearing this jacket. If you are stopping for coffee after an hour of riding and sitting outdoors, you are going to start getting cold pretty quickly because of how damp your upper body is. Another thing to note is that the back of the jacket is not long enough for riding a bike with drop bars. The bottom will creep up your back. It's fine on my upright commuter bike.

Excellent Quality
The product arrived ahead of time, packaging was decent. Tested the jacket yesterday on my hour long bike ride. The weather was about 6 deg C with a feel of 2 deg with the wind chill. I did wear a moisture wicking merino wool base layer underneath.The jacket did an excellent job of keeping the wind of my chest. I was comfortable for the entire 1 hour ride.Very well made, sturdy material and excellent quality specially given the price in comparison to the big brands. I love the extra pockets. I'm 5'7 about 190 lbs on a broader frame, I ordered the XL based on some of the recommendations and reviews. Had to return it for a Large which is perfect. Love the color.No stars for water resistance as i did not test that aspect.Overall : excellent product, great value.
