Review on 🚴 Santic Winter Cycling Jacket - Windproof Fleece Thermal Warm-Up Bicycle Jerseys with Long Sleeves and Windbreaker Feature by David Roberts

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Design flaws, the wind is blowing through the sleeves. No elastic cuffs. No windbreaker.

There is a significant flaw in the design of this windbreaker. There is absolutely no elastic closure at the ends of the sleeves. This means that as you ride, the wind blows your arms up and takes you to your back. I rode 15 miles this morning in 46 degrees and it wasn't even that windy, but with only air coming out of the ride my hands were cold when the air came in. The second disadvantage is that this jacket has no back. aeration wick. So your back starts to sweat. Worse, the air that enters the sleeves ends up on your back and you'll be miserable as the wind mixes with the moisture on your back, leaving you feeling cold and wet. The only good thing about this jacket is that it does a great job with the front of the chest and the jacket itself looks very nice with the black and red trim. On the packaging, the first thing you'll notice is how loud the stuff is when it rubs in motion, but when you're driving that noise isn't a problem. So if you want to add elastics to the sleeve ends, this jacket with great potential cannot offer what is positioned as a windbreaker due to this construction flaw. I hate to return it, it's a nice jacket but it doesn't fit the purpose I bought it for.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • The cord is shorter than other options
