Pearl Izumi Men’s Elite Softshell Jacket,True Red/Black,Large – $150.00
User review:
I wear this jacket to about 25 degrees without a long sleeve base layer. After that you can layer up and stay warm. The coldest I rode last year was 4 degrees F wearing this, an under armour coldgear mock turtle neck, and an under armour heatgear compression shirt.
The only problem with it is if I’m riding between about 35 and 45 degrees my forearms sweat. Nothing else is hot, just from my wrists to my elbows. It’s bad enough that I need to turn the jacket inside out to let that section dry out. It’s almost as if the moisture wicking stops at the elbows.

Pearl Izumi introduced the Elite Softshell Jacket to tame the most chilling training rides. The Elite is lined with Thermal Fleece panels for optimal warmth and moisture transfer, while the outer shell blocks the wind and wet. The Elite Softshell also features contoured shaped sleeves that are plenty long so your buddy won’t tease you about wearing a jacket two sizes too small.
