Przewalski Men's Winter Cycling Jacket, Thermal Windproof Running Coat

I have used my Przewalski Cycling Bike Jacket for several months now, and I really like it. I chose the blue with orange trim version, and my wife says that it looks good on me. I purchased the recommended size, and it fits me perfectly. I like that it is longer in the back such that it just covers the back pockets on my jeans. Sewing quality is very good with no apparent errors or re-stitching evident. The zippers appear to be of good quality and are easy to use. A nice feature is that the front face is relatively wind resistant when zipped up tight, while the rear uses a more breathable material. As such, you can adjust wind flow through the jacket by adjusting the main zipper as well as the pocket zippers; all control airflow through the jacket to control accumulated perspiration. At full zip, air flow through the jacket is minimal. When cycling and the outside temperature is below 45 degrees F, I wear a sweatshirt and a long sleeve shirt under the jacket to keep warm. Above 45 degrees the sweatshirt comes off. I probably won't use this jacket above about 65 degrees, as it will likely be too warm. A nice feature is that the sleeves have snug inner sleeves at the ends that poke out and cover the bare wrist area between where cycling gloves end, and a regular coat's sleeves begin -- no more cold wrists when cycling on frigid winter days. I haven't worn this coat in the rain to check how waterproof it is. For me, this coat is gently snug, comfortable and attractive, and it does not flap in the wind when reasonably zipped up. It has very good internal airflow adjustment through it making it suitable for three season use. As I said before, I like it! Recommended.

This jacket is amazing. I needed something for my cold runs that would keep me warm but be slim and snug for running. The fit is excellent, keeping a snug fit that is loose enough for comfort. I have taken it on runs from 35 degrees and above and it have kept me very warm. I love the outer layer. It keeps me safe from the elements, weather it be rain or cold. The sleeve cuffs keep the cold out, but offer enough flexibility so I can still see my watch while I run. The pockets on the back are excellent. They have great quality and make room for me to carry a variety of things. The lining is very comfortable and soft, which helps with the cold weather. The zipper is excellent and easy to use. I also love the sleek black color.

Overall this is a pretty good jacket for late fall cycling. I've worn it and ridden in 29-32 degrees F with no problems of being super cold. Around this temperature, my hands and feet begin to get cold before my body does. Here's my full review: Sizing The size of this jacket is fits good. I bought it according to the sizing chart and it fit no problem. I do like this more fitted style. Material The material is a softshell material with a fleece lining on the underside. The material does breath a little and can stretch a little as well. Features -The jacket features three back pockets as you would find on regular cycling jerseys. These pockets are a good size and deep so that nothing falls out. -The chest and side pockets have zippers so that anything stored inside does not fall out. The inside pocket material inside the zippers are mesh so the zippers do act as breathing vents. -The wrist on the sleeve have an inner sleeve with compression that that allows the sleeve to not ride up your arms and also provide good seal so that no cold air enters into your arms through the sleeve. -The rear of the jacket is long enough to cover your but that when you're hunched over riding, the jacket doesn't ride up your back. Pros -Color is bright and matches description -Material is quality -Quality build -Can wear the jacket as a regular jacket with convenient back pockets Cons My biggest con of this jacket is the lack of breathing vents. The three zipper pockets do provide some breathing but it's not enough to vent your sweat out on a cold day. They either need to add a vent to the back or underneath the armpits. At 29 degrees, I do start to get sweat built up... sweating in the cold is not good. You can feel a very faint airflow inside from air passing through the material but that's not enough to carry out the moisture either. When you come to a complete stop, the sweat quickly builds up and the jacket will soak up all the sweat quickly and get drenched... on a cold day. After my cycling rides wearing this jacket, my entire arms, pits, and back are usually drenched in sweat. Need vents.

I bought this jacket for cycling in the colder months, and I took the first ride on a 45-degree, partly sunny day with a steady breeze. Overall, I would strongly recommend this jacket. Here's why: Performance and construction - The denser fabric on the front-facing sections is quite windproof, and the material on the back, sides, and underneath the arms breathes fairly well. The knit cuffs do a good job of sealing out cold air. - I rode on a dry day and cannot speak to the jacket's water resistance. - I wore a T-shirt under a mock turtleneck, both made of synthetic, fast-wicking material. I was warm and comfortable, even riding into the wind. After warming up, I unzipped the jacket about one-third of the way when I wasn't riding into the wind. - Pockets are conveniently sized and placed. The zippered chest pocket easily holds my iPhone 12. - The materials (front and back) clean up easily in the wash on gentle with cold water. Light splatter from a messy gravel trail was gone in one wash with a light pre-treat. - Construction and stitching are excellent. Sizing - I read so many reviews, trying to decide between a large and extra large. I consistently wear a 42-inch suit jacket and dress shirts with a 16.5 inch neck with 34/35 inch sleeves. I'm 6 feet 1 inch tall and am a reasonably fit 195 pounds. - I opted for extra large, and I am very happy with my choice. The jacket has a tailored feel but room for an extra layer underneath, and sleeve length is generous. - I ride a mountain bike almost exclusively on rail trails. If I were a road biker, I may have tried a large for a more snug and aerodynamic fit.

I was looking for a winter MTB and snow biking jacket. I can't ask for more than what I get from this jacket. The front is an efficient wind stopper and the whole backside is ventilating material. Sure, I get sweaty in this jacket, but the jacket does not keep the moisture inside. When doing a hard work out, I get sweaty no mater what I wear. If it gets too warm, I just pull down the zipper an inch or two so I get an airflow going. The jacket is really comfy, even with 2 underlayers. I am 5,9 and 155 lbs. If there is one thing I wish was different, it is the cuffs. They stop the wind really well but they are a little bit on the tight side when getting my hands out. Overall, I can't ask for more of a cold weather riding jacket.

Excellent jacket for 50 degree days or a bit cooler. When the temp is closer to 40, I layer underneath and the jacket is a great outer shell. I love the chest pocket for my phone, and the generous rear pockets for food, gloves, and stuff. The cuffs around the wrist are snug and works well with gloves; no wind is felt up my arm. the material breaths well and as I sweat, it is wicked out. It also breaks the wind well at faster speeds, or when Mother Nature blows hard. The zipper is on the left (I am used to it being on the right) but is is easy to use and comfortably zips up the collar to keep my neck warm; no neck-gator is needed. I am 5'9" and 225 lbs (stocky) with a 36" waist, 45" chest and a 2XL fits perfect with available room for me to wear a thermal layer underneath. Sleeve length is to my mid hand when my arms are extended fully (as if riding my bike with hands on the brake hoods). When arms are extended, there is no pull across the back; great mobility in the jacket cut. My gut fits without tightness as well (I have a bit of a large gut; not a skinny guy). After a ride, I hang the jacket up and if damp from sweat or rain, it drys quickly. Comfortable and soft inner lining, smooth outer shell. I am an avid bike rider with 300 miles logged in the last 45 days. On rides of 25 miles or more with a 45 degree temp, I am very comfortable with a single compression layer underneath the jacket to wick the sweat off my body. I am Very satisfied with this product at a Very affordable price; great bang-for-the-buck! Matching bike pants are the next purchase from Przewalski.

Update 12/7/21 - I've ordered second one of these jackets, first one was red and now just got the mostly yellow one. Love these jackets, hard to beat the price here, I tried some Izumi costing more than twice as much and I gotta say for a non-racer, amateur rider who still likes to go out and ride as much as possible, this is jacket can't be beat. Perl Izumi was nice but cut quite for skinny people so I'd need to size up from L to XL and still not sure if layering would be easily achieved. Love this jacket, served me well all last winter, and bought another one as sometimes being able to ride two days in a row the jacket might not dry quick enough after wash and needed second one. I'm 5'10" and about 195lb now and got this jacket in size US L. It fits pretty good, maybe a bit long but size M would probably be a bit tight. This jackets is pretty fitted already so I think it is fine for my size. I just came back from 22 mile ride in about 45 degrees with base layer shirt under and was pretty comfortable. Now, with the wind making the feel of the temps few degrees colder next time I'd opt for a long sleeve underneath as it was a bit chilly at first. Anyhow, jacket seems to protect well from the wind, I like the material quite a bit. I could still layer up if needed for a bit colder temps and I think it looks quite good. The neck collar goes fairly high so there was good protection from the wind. It has few pockets with zippers which is nice. For the price this is a really good cycling jacket. I intend to use it in between 30-55 degrees temps and for that purpose this is perfect. Not sure how it would perform in anything colder, especially with the winds making it well below freezing, but with enough layers I guess it would be ok. At the end of the right my base layer shirt was wet from all the sweat but the jacket itself was still mostly dry. Definitely recommend this jacket for this sport.

For a brand I knew nothing about, I’ve been remarkably happy with the Przewalski products I’ve bought. Unlike most other brands, they don’t run small. I may need a size XL in some company’s jerseys (I wear a size M in men’s shirts), this is a sized-to-fit size L. This jacket is very warm, fits well over jerseys and bibs, and the zipper pockets are indispensable when few bibs and jackets have pockets! And even after having been in a crash with me, didn’t get torn up at all. It’s also nice and thick to stand up to those 50 degree days. And the colors have stood up to several washings. I will be buying a second one!

Very nice jacket, the front/arms/shoulder panels are thicker and wind proof, the side/back panels are thinner and more breathable. The chest pocket is useless, too small for a phone, or anything else. Zipper is 'wrong-way-round' for men, but that is not a biggie. BEWARE of sizing! These are US sized jackets, so they are huge if you fail to adjust for that. I am a Dutch Australian, 182cm/78Kg/104cm chest and I ordered a Medium, very happy I did. A Large (my normal size) would have been way to big, as you would get a US Large and they are fat. In UK/Europe/Australia, this Medium would be called a Large. See photos.

Well made and good quality, Size guide was accurate for sizing.

I recommend it in cold European weather as the piece is thick and the size is very suitable

Excelente calidad, muy buen producto para clima frío (es verdaderamente abrigador) La talla es perfecta

Eine Nummer größer bestellt und passt genau. Es kommt kein Wind durch und hält warm beim Fahrrad fahren. Kann man nur empfehlen. Macht weiter so.
