Review on Pearl IZUMi Barrier Jacket X Small by Smiley Edwards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great waterproof jacket that breathes

Went to Seattle for a few runs in this jacket. I was hesitant to buy these as I read reviews that other Pearl Izumi WXB jackets don't breathe at all. This one breathes really well for me and has vents on each side with valves to keep water out. It seems to shed drizzle very well and left me fairly dry above the waist. I would like it to be a little longer than the waist for running but I have used it as a cycling jacket and it is a great length for cycling. I was impressed by the versatility.

Pros
  • 100% polyester
Cons
  • Some bugs
