this jacket works! In SoCal the temp went from high 80s on Monday to low 30s by the weekend. Got the jacket for it's waterproof features and HiViz. When I got the jacket, I'm 5'10 200lbs, size 44, it seemed a bit tight with the liner in. Road the first 5 days without the liner and was more that satisfied with the quality, fit and air flow. On the weekend temp dropped into the 40s in the a.m. by afternoon, driving through Fraizer Park area of SoCal, the temp on the bike read 32 degrees. including windchill I figured it was somewhere around 19degrees actual. I was in the lower temps for about 45 mins until I got out of the canyons.this jacket with liner and long sleeve undershirt, kept me warm with no issues what so ever, very comfortable. the collar does not chafe and is windproof, a nice touch. have not had it in a heavy rain, light drizzle only and it worked well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

colors offered on tank bag
You offer the Giant Loop Fandango tank bag and list color options in the product description of white, grey, yellow, orange, and black. However the color options you can choose when ordering does not offer the grey color option. Is grey available?

Is this a cold weather jacket?
Is this a cold weather jacket? I commute to school/ work in the mornings and need a jacket that will keep me warm in 36-46 F weather. I try not to ride in the rain- so waterproof qualities are not as important as windproof and staying warm in the fall/ winter seasons.
I rode in 32 degree weather with the liner in and a long sleeve undershirt with no problems. I was really impressed .... I did have heated grips tho :-)
