Review on Pepper Elite Jacket by Showers Pass by Dale Toth

I've just bought my second Showers Pass Elite jacket so this review is based on the one I've been using for a number of years. a jacket when it is dry and the temperature falls below 50, or when it rains or drizzles below 70. Above that it seems it's getting too hot. I use it as an outer shell for midwest fall/winter/spring rides. I've used it on trips down to -17F with two coats underneath and it's been fine. Typical riding conditions when I wear this are 15-40F in 10-20 mph wind. I'm a slow cyclist who mostly commutes to/from work, 5 miles one way. I do notice some wind penetration as another reviewer mentioned, but I find it's just what I need to stay warm and dry. Others have well described the benefits of this jacket. What I don't like about the jacket is that the sleeves are a bit long for me. I'm a tall guy (5ft 11in, 235lbs) so putting on my cycling gear is not an easy task. The chest and belly are about right, but I find the sleeves and shoulders a bit big. Another reviewer found that this obviously varies for different body types. I can compensate for the long sleeves by zipping them up when it's colder. Overall I gave this jacket 4 stars because it is one of my cycling staples and has held up EXTREMELY well through 5 winters and a few showers to keep me comfortable and not afraid of wet/cold rides. I think that's pretty much all I want from a jacket. If only the sleeves were a little shorter.
