Review on πŸ§₯ Santic Men's Windproof Soft Shell Thermal Reflective Cycling Winter Biking Fleece Jackets Coat by Cris Drew

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks good but is NOT windproof

This is probably the sharpest, best cycling jacket I've bought from Revain (I've bought plenty to try!) Race fit without inappropriate voids, good reflectors and good material. I'll warn you right away, I had to dock it with a few stars because it's advertised as windproof, when actually it isn't. It's no more windproof than any clothing of this thickness, meaning the wind will cut through it. Sometimes it's ok if it's warm and you're riding hard, but they really shouldn't advertise it as windproof - there's no membrane or extra layers of wind protection. Luckily, you can easily add a $20 windproof vest, and this jacket works great in temperatures of 45-60F, even in gusty winds. I have returned most of the jackets I have bought but kept this one - with a windproof gilet it becomes very versatile and well worth the money for the fit, design and look.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
