Comments about Canari Tour Bike Jacket - Women's:

I ordered this jacket after reading the review that it worked well in the rain. Nope, one 5 mile ride to work in the rain and I was soaked. It keeps a light drizzle out but that's it, the arm zippers let in a lot of water.
The flaps keep getting caught in the zippers, though I do like the two way zipper. I like being able to turn it into a vest, but it takes a bit to get the sleeves back on, not something I'd like to do by the side of the road.
It's a bit tight around my hips (I'm petite, so the body length is a bit long).
The back pocket is nice, but it also holds the waist strap pieces for converting it into a bag, and they're annoying when I'm trying to get my bike lock key out.
Overall it's a decent cool weather jacket and warm weather vest, but don't buy it for rainy weather.

Comments about Canari Tour Bike Jacket - Women's:

Great jacket, but found the shoulder area a little confining when stretching for the handlebars. I wear a 10-11 and ordered a large to accomadate the long arms I have. I chose a men's med. that fit just right. It did so good when we rode in the colorado high country rain, kept out the elements very well. It got a little steamy in the arms when working hard up those steep Colorado back roads, body area stayed much more comfortable.

Comments about Canari Tour Bike Jacket - Women's:

I use the jacket when its chilly outside. Its bright color lets me be better seen by passing vehicles. Taking the zippered sleeves off when I start to get warm is a big plus. The jacket flops in the wind at anything over about 20 MPH. If it was a bit more form fitting, or if the smaller sizes had longer sleeves would help with the overall fit. The price point was a bit much ([$]) for a windbreaker, but I would still recommend this jacket.

Comments about Canari Tour Bike Jacket - Women's:

I like the stylish convertible design and green-yellow bright color very much, but on my first day of testing it out, the jacket attracts a swarm of gnats and a few flies (yes, i took it off and left it at one end of a picnic table and it became the venue for the bugs party). I'm not sure what to make of it and wanted to get a different color except that Canari only carries Killer Yellow. I was hoping an orange would be less attractive to bugs. I'm bummed b/c the jacket is really nice.
