Hi-Viz Virtes Men's Aerion Jacket

Warm cycling jacket

This jacket is definitely warmer than a windbreaker, so it’s ideal when temperatures are 50 degrees or below. I do believe it would be difficult to fit the jacket into any kind of cycling bag. I like the front pocket which will comfortably fit a wallet or a smaller cell phone. So, it’s the ideal jacket for fairly cold days when it will remain cold.

Surprise Favorite

I got this jacket earlier this year. Wasn’t sure about the size & I ordered both a large & a medium. The med. fits fine with some room for an undergarment or winter jersey. The real surprise is that the large fits nicely over the med.! This is really nice when it’s cold. I never thought about such an arrangement, but it’s great. Not too bulky & not too tight, it’s a perfect combination. The med. is fine by itself when not as cold. This jacket situation I have with the two sizes allows me a lot of variation to suit the particular weather. These jackets are form fitting. Not too tight & not too loose. I was only planning to keep the one that fit me best, but they both work for me & with the unexpected combination, even better. Hint: when needing more wind protection, Primal has a decent wind jacket that fits over this jacket. If you get hot, it stuffs into a pocket well.

My wife keeps borrowing it

I haven't worn it for a ride yet - my wife keeps borrowing it! It's a nice weight for fairly cold rides. It's not wind-proof, so cold air will come through it. The arms are nice and bright, visible from a mile away.
