Review on Pearl Izumi Softshell Mykonos XX Large by Marcus Hargrave

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Okay, but it suits me weird.

I have ridden 4 times in this jacket and I like it. However, the landing is strange. I have a full PI PRO softshell in the same size (L). I'm 6ft 1in, 180, bust 41in, waist 32in and long ape arms. It fits perfectly but a little warm. I ordered it in the same size. The arms are almost an inch shorter. still long enough for me (76 inch wingspan) to fit normal people too. The hands are also more spacious. This will likely help with breathability. My main issue is the fit of the torso. It hugs my waist and chest but is big in between. I would say it would be more suitable for people of average build than a full soft shell. Anyway, two of my rides were at 20 degrees and two at 30 degrees (both just in the t-shirt under armor). At 30 it was a little warm, but not bad. 20 was a golden mark. If anything is cooler, I would wear a base layer. When it's warmer, I wear base layers and thermal underwear. I definitely didn't sweat as much as I did with the other jacket. Remember that every cold is different, and this review was made by a Minnesota resident who bikes year-round.
