It's Versatile!
Excellent wind protection, and with the ability to use as a vest, makes it a great garment for riding all year in cool to cold weather. Order next larger size for correct fit in that it is sized small. Highly recommended.
Great windbreaker, worth every penny
Fit: Vagabond II fits very well on average/slender person. Size medium is perfect at shoulders, enough room around torso (unlike the Zephrr jacket which is too tight around torso), and allows for layering. No parachute effect yet not too tight. Comfort: Soft material, comfortable to wear on off-road trails in Long Island during fall season (40-60F). Have not tried it as a vest. Appearance: Understated yet technical and stylish at the same time. Performance: Breaks wind chills effectively, have not ridden in rain, movement is not restricted. (Note: This is a shell for breaking wind & rain, not for warmth.) Price: Best price for a Vagabond II ('08) around. Best Use: Fall (or spring) temp between 40-60F to reduce heat loss from wind. Use as outer shell on top of layers. Vest could possibly be used on warmer days when it's breezy.
Very Versatile Jacket
Ideal jacket to wear when is cold in the morning and converts to a vest when you are warm up
It's great!
I really like the versatility of this jacket. It seems somewhat breathable but blocks the wind quite well. It fits perfectly...just enough room for a bit of layering, but still streamlined enough to get you though those headwinds. I'd buy it again and certainly recommend it to friends.
Great product. Worth the money for sure.
A friend recommended this type of shell. I was skeptical when I first saw it. It is so thin. I tried it and love it. It fits well enough that there is no flapping in the wind yet has ample room for layering and ease of movement. I've used it at temps from 44-58 degrees with different layers. It really keeps the wind out. Anything heavier would not have the versatility that this does since you can alter the layers and use it all year round. That's very good value.
