Review on πŸ§₯ Ultimate Windproof Fleece Thermal Jacket for Women: Ideal for Running, Cycling, and Sports Activities by Mike Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for wind blocking but more than expected.

This jacket is exactly the layer I was looking for. Waterproof/windproof on the outside and lined with thin fleece on the inside. I wore this jacket on a 30 degree day with winds of 15-25mph and was warm (I mean my face hurt but my arms/torso was warm). It's not overly warm though - I rode in over 40 degrees and 5mph winds yesterday and didn't overheat. This is an excellent wind barrier. Wear thermal underwear on cold days and with this combination you can skate for hours. I love the zippered chest pocket for my phone, and the back pockets stretch a bit to make it easier to get snacks in and out. My only complaint is that it works a little more. I carry all my cycling gear small and my measurements are consistent with the small size of this jacket, but I definitely have room underneath even with heavier layers. I would prefer a fitted jacket. If you are between sizes, I would choose the size smaller. The sides of the jacket are stretchy and the sleeves are loose enough to accommodate multiple layers. I also find the zip to be difficult to close when wet so I'll update it later if I have trouble with that.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
