★★☆☆☆
Front is not fully windproof.
I don't typically leave reviews but this product deserves one. This jersey is pretty good for warmth but is questionable on wind blockage. I live in Minnesota and commute to work (10 miles) & I picked this up for the colder weather days. The day after I received this jersey the conditions were 24 degrees Fahrenheit with a feels like of 16 degrees Fahrenheit; this would only go down further with the windchill from biking. It was a great day to try out this jersey. I decided to add a thermal long sleeve underneath the jersey for my commute. About 3 miles into the ride my stomach started to get quite cold. 5 miles into the ride the cold turned into unbearable pain. Luckily I packed a windbreaker vest so I put that on to try and keep wind off my stomach. When I got to work I found I had pretty significant frost nip / windburn. I inspected the jersey further and found that any area that is not black is not windproof. The jersey does a great job of blocking wind and insulating in the places where it is windproof, however, not having the whole front windproof doesn't make sense for a product like this. It took me over 24 hours to have my stomach skin get back to normal. I will wear this jersey in the future for the thermal insulation but it will only be worn with a windbreaker on top.
