Re: [RBW] Jacket Recommendation (mid-weight)

[Richard Rose]

I have two jackets that might fit the bill. I hesitate to recommend either as both are expensive. I got very lucky with both & would never have paid the kind of money these cost. But they are both nice. Seven Mesh Revelation is the first. It is Gore but I swear it does breath & it has several zippered vents that do a great job of exhausting heat. It’s a slightly loose fit but not baggy & it’s a good wind breaker. Second is the Search & State Jacket. I think they only offer two, the name escapes me but maybe SV1? This one fits a bit more snugly but is very comfy. It has no zippered vents but the fabric does breath. Some sort of miracle fabric that “opens up” to vent heat but stays “closed” when cold. Apparently this happens on a microscopic level but it is comfortable in a wide range of temps. I have had both for a while & have no need for any other cycling jackets. With appropriate layering these two cover my bases. Added benefit of Search & State is all of their stuff is MUSA, if you are into that.

My winter jacket is Gore, it's very warm.  My current mid-weight jacket is screaming-yellow, some Italian brand I can't recall, but it has zero breathability.  It's good for single-digit (Celsius) temps, but I sweat a lot inside the jacket and eventually get cold.  I have a thin wind jacket I can wear around 5C+ with sufficient base layers, and it breathes better.   I'm looking for something between the warm Gore jacket and the wind jacket.  Would like some wind resistance (on the front) and some breathability.  Not racing-tight fit, but not baggie either.  I don't have any non-cycling jackets that fit the bill. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
