    Comments about Canari Eclipse Jacket - Men's:

    I commute everyday and everyday I wear this jacket. It does a great job as a windbreaker and has excellent visibility. It also has good pockets on both sides and also a large pocket in the back. The jacket also compressed to a nice small ball if you want to take it off quickly.

    The major problem with this jacket is that it does not keep out the rain at all. Expect to get wet if you wear this in the rain. It seems to soak up water much quicker than other jackets I've used. The saving grace is that it dries out very quickly.

    Comments about Canari Eclipse Jacket - Men's:

    The design, with fishnet back under flap, facilitates cross ventilation in hot weather, by leaving zipper nearly undone, creating a wind catcher which directs airflow around torso, and out the fish netting. Leaving main zipper totally undone, blocks view in handlebar mounted rear view mirror. In colder weather the shell does a remarkable job keeping out cold wind.

      This jacket has long enough sleeves and back for my long arms and 6' 4" height. It breathes well and is nice over a long sleeve jersey in cold weather or short sleeve jersey in fall or spring. It is a toxic nuclear yellow too, that is cool to look at but so bright that it is difficult for motorists not to see, unlike many other darker yellow jackets. It has been durable through one hardseason of use and still looks new.

      Comments about Canari Eclipse Jacket - Men's:

      This is definitely a warm jacket that will keep you protected from wind and cold and mild rain, BUT.....as the temperatures climb (50deg or more) and your activity level climbs, you will become keenly aware of the lack of breathability of this jacket. Case in point, I wore this jacket over a light long sleeve base layer in 50 deg weather for a light run (~4 miles). The inside of the jacket was wet and clammy at the end of the run. I have also worn this jacket for harder runs and have had moisture dripping out of the sleeves. I think I will reserve this jacket for cycling only, on colder days when I'm out for an easy ride.

      • Poor Fit

      Best Uses

      • Road Biking

      Comments about Canari Eclipse Jacket - Men's:

      I bought this as a layer for colder days, when a jersey alone does not do it. I had hoped that it would work well as a wind-break while remaining breathable. It is not breathable enough for strenuous cycling, and serves as a moisture barrier rather than wicking. The ideal combo would be a hard front shell (nylon), with a soft shell back panel. Alas.

      Additionally, I consider it to commit the most heinous of bike-jacket sins: the sleeves are too short.

      Otherwise, an adequate layer.

      Good visibility, not much protection

      By Phil GE

      from Northern Indiana

      About Me Frequent Exerciser

      Site Member

      Pros

      • Compacts well
      • High visibility
      • Lightweight
      • Zip off arms

      Cons

      • Not much water resistance
      • Poor Ventilation

      Best Uses

      • Cool weather
      • Moderate workout

      Comments about Canari Eclipse Jacket - Men's:

      I bike to work and around town on a daily basis. The jacket serves as a wind breaker and safety garment. The color gets attention quickly and from great distance. In moderate to cool weather, I wear it over street clothes or bike jerseys as a vest. In cool to cold weather, I use it as a jacket. Unfortunately, the sleeves seem to hold heat - the cuffs are close fitting and there's no ventilation. Arm zips allow some torso ventilation, but no real cooling of the arms. Rain seeps through the fabric very quickly leaving the jacket fabric clinging to arms and shoulders. I'll look for something else as a decent rain jacket and shell.

      Nice Features, But Zipper Gets Caught

      Comments about Canari Eclipse Jacket - Men's:

      My spouse purchased this jacket for me to use in my daily commuting to work, which I do via bike. I was really excited about the jacket. It has good pockets on the side, a rear pouch, reflective piping, and extra material to cover your rear. All was great. But in use, the front zipper gets stuck in the extra fabric underneath used for a windblock. That's not so handy when you're biking...

        Comments about Canari Eclipse Jacket - Men's:

        I bought this Jacket to make myself more visible on the road. I normally wear it without the sleeves. I wear the sleeves in relatively cold weather. The weather doesn't get too cold here in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. The double zipper adds to its flexibility.

        I can't speak in regard to rain protection as I do not ride in the rain.

        About a year ago, I took a bad spill, and while it got a little ripped, I still wear it today. I do plan on getting a replacement.

        A little disappointed

          Comments about Canari Eclipse Jacket - Men's:

          After using this very briefly, I was disappointed on several counts and I "traded up" to the Pearl Izumi Vagabond. I bike to work every morning in Boise - typical morning temps in the spring are high 30's / low 40's and I wear the jacket usually with just a long-sleeve t-shirt or light base layer underneath the jacket.

          The Canari fell short in a few areas:
          - The material wasn't very water resistant. It easily soaked through
          - When I bought it I knew it didn't have the front chest pocket, but I really missed it.
          I feel this pocket is essential for biking.
          - The sleeves ran long and bunched up pretty bad around my arms, restricting ventilation

          Pros on the canari - bright color and it rolls up real small to fit into your pack.

          Although the Vagabond is a bit higher price point, I am very happy I traded up - the material repels water better and it is just a tad thicker, making it more wind resistant.

          • Fit:
          • Feels true to size
          • Sleeve Length:
          • Feels too long
