Wendy Noffke Reviews Womens Phoenix Reverse Jersey
What types of activities do you think this garment would be good for? Cycling, running in cooler weather (I wore it in 45 F / 7 C)
Comments on fit & style: Perfect fitting jersey for on the bike. It is long enough to keep the small of my back warm while biking in the aero position. The neck zipped up high enough to keep out the wind but was not too high or restrictive to give a choking feeling. The full length zipper makes it easy to get on and off. The cut is slim enough to avoid drag from the wind, but not so restrictive as not to allow an additional layer to be worn underneath. The secured back pocket is perfect for carrying my phone on the bike without having to worry about losing it. Like other Jaggad garments I own, it is cut for an athletic body and allows for freedom of movement.
Comments on fabric: The fabric on this jersey is very soft and comfortable. I tried wearing it both way and it is just as comfortable in either direction. It is the perfect weight for wearing in cool weather. I wore it on a cool sunny day with the short sleeve vision jersey and was very comfortable. I also wore it on a cloudy and windy day with the interchange tee underneath and was quite comfortable. It performed better than I expected with the cooler temperature, and I never needed the extra jacket I brought just in case this was not warm enough.
Summary: This jersey will expand the temperature range in which I can comfortably ride outdoors. I normally would never consider wearing a bike jersey for anything other than cycling, but this one is so comfortable I found myself grabbing it to wear for everything from walking the dog, to run to the store, and cycling in the cold. The jacket does not feel bulky at all for having 2 layers of fabric, and easily slid on over the Vision jersey when looking for less layering and over the interchange tee when I needed more layers. I’m very pleased to have something that allows me to ride in cool weather without being a nylon jacket that flaps in the wind the entire way. Although the website only stated the zipper was windproof, I did not feel cold air coming through the fabric either. I think this jacket will also be perfect for running in the winter months because it allows so much movement and warmth. I would love to have one of these in a solid color scheme in the future.

Kerry Augustson Reviews Womens Phoenix Reverse Jersey
What types of activities do you think this garment would be good for? ANYTHING AT ALL! As long as it’s cool!
Comments on fit/style: The overall cut of the jacket is fantastic, The fit across the shoulders is very good, it sits perfectly over the hips if wearing jeans (no extra lumps or bunched material) and is fitted throughout the waist area. The reversibility of the jacket is fantastic, especially for traveling as it allows you the look of two great jackets without having to ‘carry and pack’ two jackets.
Comments on fabric: The fabric is very warm. It kept me very comfortable in the cold weather. As a cycling jersey it only suits me for the very cold weather and recovery rides as it is so warm.
Overall: If you need a jacket for winter, this is THE jacket to buy. It is so versatile, two great colour combinations and it can be teamed with jeans or pants, either way it looks and feels fantastic.
