Great Jacket For Cycling In Michigan Winters
First I'll address the sizing of the jacket. I am 5' 10'' and weigh 196 lbs. I normally wear a large in men's jackets. Because of the reviews and questions answered by other purchasers on Amazon I ordered an XL. I wanted to be able to have layers of clothing underneath to keep warm riding in southeastern Michigan winters. The XL will allow me to do this. The jacket fits good. The sleeves are a little long but not a problem.The function of the jacket is great. I have ridden for about a month now in temperatures ranging from about 45 degrees to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. In warmer weather I wore a long sleeve t-shirt under the jacket. In colder weather I've worn a short sleeve and long sleeve t-shirt. I've never been cold or too hot because the jacket breathes great. I do sweat but that's to be expected. That's the point of riding! When the weather gets colder I'll wear a sweatshirt under the jacket. I'm impressed with the performance of the jacket. The pockets are plentiful and useful. They are large enough for my cell phone and wallet. In addition to the outside pockets there are a couple of inside pockets on both sides of the lower front of the jacket. The front zipper takes some getting used to as it is the opposite of zippers on most American clothing. The front and pocket zippers also have little pulls which are not easy to work with but none of these features are show stoppers. I also like the very tall neck of the jacket to protect my neck from the cold. Riding in cold weather the only part of my body that got cold was my face. The only thing I would change on the jacket is the color. For safety black isn't the best/brightest color. There are some small reflective parts of the jacket but I don't think they are sufficient. I wear a lightweight netted fluorescent green vest over the jacket.Over all I am very happen with my purchase of this jacket. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Thus I give it 5 stars!

Ok, but not great...
I bought the 4x since I need a little extra space around my midsection. 3x probably would have fit fine over just a t-shirt or a thin layer, but if I choose to wear a sweatshirt underneath, the 3x would probably be too tight. The front zipper is sturdy and has a zipper pull on it, but all the other zippers are missing zipper pulls. I have thick fingers and it's sometimes difficult to get a grasp of the zipper to open or close the pocket. The chest pocket is fairly deep and can hold a good size phone (mine is 6.3" x 3"), but the zip opening for the pocket is fairly small and I can't even get my hand inside - i have to fish my phone out with a couple of fingers. The side pockets go straight in, instead of angling down towards the center zipper of the jacket. This leaves a lot of opportunity for things to fall out of the pocket easily when the pocket is not zipped closed (this already happened with my phone, but luckily I heard it fall & retrieved it with no damage). The vents are a nice feature in warmer weather, but there's no way to secure them closed to prevent cold wind from getting inside when you are out in very cold weather. This proved to be somewhat annoying to me while I was out biking on a cold day. While the jacket fits okay overall, especially in the midsection where I was focused when purchasing, the shoulders are very wide, and the sleeves too long for my liking, making the cuff with thumbhole fairly useless. The jacket works okay for my purposes, however, I will likely not purchase another one since there are too many things that just don't fit right for my body style. Instead of a 4XL, it seems to fit more like a 4XLT. As far as overall satisfaction, I was teetering between 3 and 4 stars, but rounded up because the jacket seems sturdy and comfortable, and has a good amount of storage space in the multiple pockets.

Great jacket - great company
My first purchase of this jacket was in the Fall of 2020. During my first ride the zipper separated and could no longer be zipped up or down. I returned it to Amazon for a replacement and used the replacement jacket for 4 months until the same issue with the zipper happened on another ride. I was beyond the return date so I contacted RockBros directly. After a photo exchange they promptly sent me a new jacket. This is truly customer service that is difficult to find in today's marketplace. I have always liked RockBros accessories and I use many but, not until this time had I had an issue. My jacket has been perfect for the last several months and I expect it will last many more seasons. By the way, this is not a tight fitting jacket but it does give you the opportunity to layer comfortably; it's windproof, and nearly rainproof - rode it in mixed participation this winter and stayed dry.

Warm jacket
This is a nice warm jacket. Large enough for my 220 pounds. In many cases I only needs to wear a merino wool base layer even at 32 degrees. Plenty of pockets for gear. However, the zipper tabs are way too small and are deep into the pocket that I struggle to grab them.In fact I ordered zipper pull for all 5 pockets.

Zipper pull on wearer’s left
Quick delivery of what appears to be a quality product at a very reasonable cost, and it fits well — always a question when purchasing a China-sourced product.I am deducting one star in anticipation of the countless seconds I will waste over the lifetime of this jacket as, while literally every other jacket I own has the zipper pull on the right, the makers of this one decided to put theirs on the left.This will be a constant irritation on what otherwise is a very nice cool-weather bicycling jacket.Note after wearing a bit; the wind flap is so thin that it constantly catches in the cheap, left-handed, Asian-sourced zipper. Several time now, I have had to take it off like a pullover.Also, the thumb-loop cuffs are sewn so close to the sleeve end that none of my cycling gloves work with it; so it is, in effect, a sleeve cuff with a permanent hole in it.Deducting another star for the irritation.
