Strengths: Durability, versatility (unzips to vest), safety (fluorescent yellow color)Weaknesses: Cut a bit large for me, but just a bit.Bottom Line: I got this for both running and biking. I tried a Vagabond (Vagabond II) at store and thought it was a bit tight and very thin. This one I got - 2006 model, is a beefier fabric and is a fuller cut. I understand the comments about flapping in the wind. I'll actually use this more for running than biking so that'll be less of a concern for me. Jacket appears to have the normal greate quality that I've come to expect from Pearl Izumi.

Strengths: Good look, lightweight, removeable sleeves, zippered pocketsWeaknesses: The jacket sleeves do flap in the wind, but I bought it that way so to have plenty of room for turtle necks, etc. in colder weather. The price is a bit high, but you pay for quality.Bottom Line: It's a good jacket. Mine s black and gold and it looks and feels great with a black turtle neck. I'd recommend it. I'll use it for hiking too.

Strengths: Lightweight, breathable, keeps me warm, removeable sleevesWeaknesses: PriceBottom Line: Keeps me warm while letting me skin breath. I like that if I get warm enough, I can just easily remove the sleeves and I instantly have a vest. I use Pearl Izumi arm warmers underneath the jacket if the weather is too cold for me. With that setup, I'm comfortably warm without overheating.

Strengths: Very cool looking. Elastic drawstring at waistband and collar. Sleeves are cut long so they fit well in riding position. Jacket is uninsulated so it works anywhere from 55 F to 20 F (with extra layers underneath).Weaknesses: Anytime I went over 15 mph on my bike the sleeves started flapping in the breeze. Over 25 mph it was really annoying. If you have short arms the sleeves will be too long for you.Bottom Line: Looks great, breathes well, great for running. If you don't mind sleeves that flap in the wind, buy it. Otherwise, get something else. Since Pearl Izumi is primarily a cycling company I expected more.
