Shebeest Velocity Technowool Cycling Jacket (For Women)

This is a very stylish piece. I'm 5'3", 110lb and the xs fits like a glove w/out binding up in the arms or pits. The zipper lays flat, the sleeves and tail give good coverage on the bike, the piping detail flawless, the fabric is beautiful - however not warm. The cool am air sails right through the weave making a good thin base layer a necessity. Because it's too beautiful to cover up! I would have ordered a sm if I'd known this. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is the cheezy iron on reflective tape & sleeve logo - both will no doubt start peeling after a few washings.

This is really beautiful -I bought the rose color. It fits snugly; I'm typically a size small and that's the size I ordered. It's really more like a jersey than a jacket. I think I'll be able to wear a thin base layer, but certainly nothing more bulky than that because it is very form-fitting. If it weren't for the reflective piping and back pockets, this would look great with jeans!

This is an exceptionally beautiful and comfortable jacket - it looks good even off the bike, feels immediately cozy, blocks the wind while riding, and feels like it will be perfect well into spring riding. I liked it so much I convinced my riding partner to get one in red and now I'm sorry because I won't be able to buy both colors.

On the bike, this is less of a jacket and more of a jersey. In the rest of my life it's the only thing I want to wear. The fit is first rate, form fitted from waist to hips (so when you do wear it on a ride you keep the cold off your middle) while relaxed and feminine across bust, shoulders and arms (again, so when you wear it on a ride you can move freely) the leaves are longer than your average gym jacket, but this is a cycling fit so when you are stretched out over the handle bars you still get coverage. I have short arms and this doesn't bother me a bit. In my opinion Claudia has outdone herself again. She always invisioned her baby Shebeest would make clothing that was both functional and fashionable. Bravo! girl, bravo.

looks good snug form hugging fit

I love this jacket, though I would classify it more as a jerssey for cycling purposes. It fits close to the body through hips and waist (great for keeping you warm across kidneys and lower back when riding), and is relaxed through shoulders and arms (so you can move and stretch for those drops on long, fast descents). I have worn this to walk the dog, run to the store for milk and ride my bike to the gym. I can't take it off 'cause it's so comfortable! It's so stylish! I love all my cycling clothing that looks like it's made for the bike, this is great because it looks great no matter where you are or what you're doing. It's great for cool weather as a jacket, but more of a jersey when the temps drop below 55, then you will need a good base layer, and a windbreaker. Ample pockets in back and the reflective stipe across the entire pocket tops are great features and rare in cycling jackets. Buy it, you won't regret it!

just perfect for windy & cool ride
