5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent value in a cycling jacket, May 11, 2011
Couldn't be more pleased with this jacket. Side and rear pockets zipper closed. Drop-in inside pouches either side. Drawstring closure at hem. Good vents under the caped shoulders. Haven't zipped the arms off yet but will in warmer weather. Jacket stuffs into rear pocket which has straps to permit wearing as a fanny pack. Good fit; not baggy. Can't imagine a more versatile, well-designed jacket for the money.

NOT WATER REPELLENT!, November 7, 2011
This review is from: Canari Cyclewear Men's Eclipse 2 Jacket (Sports)
The description for the jacket says it is 'water repellent' in light rain. It is not water repellent in any way. After about 5 minutes in a light rain I was completely soaked. It's not like water was sneaking in through the zippers on the upper body either. Water was soaking through the back, the sleeves, the front, you name it. In no way would I consider this jacket water proof, water repellent, or water resistant. It's about as good as my bike jersey at keeping water out.
On the plus side, it does block out the wind and looks very good. The fact that it balls up into it's own self contained pouch makes it very convenient to stuff in your bag. The reflective elements give good visibility for night/early morning riding. The conversion to a vest is a nice feature too, but I have not tried that yet. Aside from water soaking feature, it is an all around very nice jacket. However, my primary reason for purchasing this jacket was for light rains, which this obviously failed at. Thus 2 star review.
Unfortunately, due to it's inability to provide any rain resistance whatsoever I only wear this jacket on days when chance of precipitation is 0%, which in my part of the country is rare during this time of year.

Cycling Jacket - Hits the Spot, September 23, 2010
Well made, comfortable, great wind protection and love the zip-off sleeves. I wear it almost daily and it even worked to get me home in a Fall rain shower. I would recommed this to a friend.
