Freewheel Mountain Bike Half Zip Hoodie

Great jacket, very high quality, and it’s going to be a great addition to the closet for the shoulder seasons. I just wish the cut/fit was better. I’m 5’10”, long armspan, 155 lbs, 49” chest, broad shoulders and pretty lean. I ordered the medium based on the sizing recommendation but it’s very baggy on me, especially in the mid-section which looks almost 2 sizes up, and the sleeves are also baggy and on the long side. I could get over the longer/baggy sleeves, but the mid-section and torso overall is just too baggy. I then ordered the small, which fits much better through the mid-section and the arms but it’s a touch tight in the chest and in the armpits. I will keep the small and only wear one layer underneath (e.g. a 250-320 merino) as I prefer a slimmer fit that won’t catch on stuff. It seems there is a big difference between sizes, and the cut is too baggy in the torso/mid-section for an athlete.

I purchased size medium in two colors. I am 5'11", 175 lbs, 40R chest. I have been using this as an outer layer in temps from the low 40s to low 50s. It does a great job with moderate resistance to rain, very good resistance to wind, and still remains quite breathable. It does retain decent warmth due to the shell backing. I will eventually overheat on big climbs in this layer as temps warm into the mid 50s but the comfort range is quite impressive. The layer is ony moderately packable so I carry a decent size pack in case I will take this layer off during the ride. Overall, the layer does exactly what I hoped it would do and I can highly recomemnd it.

Very comfortable. Good fit - if anything it runs just a tad big, could go as an outer layer over jersey and mid-layer for warmth, or mid-layer under a more robust waterproof shell for heavier downpour. Breathes well, looks good, ample stretch, wears well under hydration pack. A great addition to MTB kit.
