The jacket is great for casual cyclists on their way to work. It is wind-resistant, breathable and waterproof enjoyable - at least to a certain degree, because in a real downpour jacket is eventually to sponge. A hood does not exist. The softshell fabric is very comfortable to wear and can also crumple times and stuff in the backpack, without wrinkles. Who will vary between sizes, should order the larger. At the processing there is nothing to complain about. I am very satisfied and would recommend it any time.
