This jacket is great! It is windproof in the front but the merino wool back allows for great breathability. For mild winter cycling (30's and 40's) it is the perfect jacket. W/ a nice wool base layer underneath, it keeps me perfectly warm yet I don't sweat up, which prevents me from getting chilled. I spend many weekend days riding 80-100 miles, and I like spending my rides in the Breakaway. A great performance piece.
If I could change one thing about this jacket, I would make it a bit longer in the torso. But Ibex stuff tends to run a little on the short side in the torso for me. (I'm 5'8", average proportions)

Comments: I use this jacket when I run outside in 20 degree weather. Haven't run in the rain just yet with it. I only wish there were side pockets to put my hands when I wear it out on the town.
