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

[rltilley]

I like the Stio Dawner jacket.  It’s marketed as “active insulation” and I think it works well in that capacity. It seems to breathe pretty well and is extremely good at cutting the wind.  I have the hooded version but do want an unhooded version for bike use. It will shed light moisture but will wet through in constant rain. The back is not cut specifically for cycling so it may be an issue when riding in the drops. My cycling tends to be more upright these days so it works for me. I took this to Japan in a non-cycling trip as my main warmth layer and it was not up to the task since it was colder than expected. But for use as an active insulation piece it works great.

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.
