Velo Tattoo Windproof Winter Jacket

First time purchasing a windproof jacket. Love how the fabric feels. Went for 35 mile ride on 55-60 degree weather, not counting wind shield. Felt comfortable and not cold. Windproof material on the chest was great, the arms were a bit Colder but, not bad. The only reason I gave it a 4 stars is that, since the arms are a bit baggy, I think moisture accumulates and drips down the sleeve to the cuffs. The cuffs were supper wet and started to drip on the grips, making it a bit Stressful while riding. Toward the end of the ride, the jacket was supper wet which I started to feel cold. Other than that, I enjoyed the jacket and super stoked on the purchase. Might get the lightproof jacket as well.

Jacket arrived this week. Temperatures dropped to 3C/37F on my first fall evening ride. Front surfaces are fairly wind-resistant but still breathe rather than being completely wind-proof so you can still feel cold air. Rear surfaces vent heat and moisture well. I wore a base layer and long sleeve jersey with jacket. Once you stop riding, you will cool off fast.

The fit is super tight around the body but still comfortable. High collar keeps out wind well. Sleeve are roomy enough for layers and have good seal at wrist with gloves. Good length and great seal at waist. I highly recommend for above 0C/32F fall riding.

Great design, lovely print, great material, collar is great, but....strangely it doesn't seem to be a bike fit! It is pretty much the same length at the back rather than the front, rather than the usual longer back you get with cycle tops. I ended up with a lovely warm top half, but cold lower back. Could be a little longer in the arm too. I got a 2XL rather than my usual XL as I have broad shoulders and long arms and it fits well around the body rather than like a tent, but an extra inch in the arm and 2-3 at the back would have meant a 5 star rating. Due to these shortcomings, I wouldn't order another in future unfortunately. May be good for shorter folks, although the short length at the back may still be an issue.
