Simple yet more than sufficient for being a nice all around training jacket. This soft-shell jacket has everything you need for hitting the road in the cool weather. With wind protection in the front, It is a nice option for windy conditions and has multiple pockets for storage. 3 good sized open pockets on the back with a small zip compartment in the bottom right. The middle pocket is larger than the two side ones with plenty of room to fit a jacket and a base layer. The pocket on the inside of the left arm is a nice addition to stash nutrition with easy accessibility. The semi fitted jacket fits slim but is a very stretchable material giving ultimate comfort. It is meant to be ridden with a base layer or two without fitting too tight. I wouldn’t put this in the same category as a full on winter jacket. I see it as more of an option for the low-mid 40’s at the coolest. It could be worn comfortably with a light base layer into the high 50’s. Like most other De Marchi tops, the size Medium fit me well at 5’10” 155lbs. As a very breathable piece, it is a great option for the racer doing intervals in the cool Fall weather. I would also suggest this for someone looking to put in base miles in a comfortable fitted jacket. Really nice quality jacket that is versatile
