I will be biking in 40-55 degree weather, how will this hold up?

I use this jacket in anything from 20-60 temps. I just add more layers underneath as necessary. For very cold rides, I use a couple of extra layers around my core (a-shirt, then a t-shirt) with a long-sleeve base layer and a long-sleeve fleece. The trick is to do the layering in a way that doesn't add too much bulk - especially in the arms. Otherwise, you'd need to buy a size up and then it'd be too flappy when you're using it in 60 weather. If money were no object, I'd buy a specialty jacket for really cold weather, but I can make this one work pretty well as long as I'm riding hard enough to generate some warmth. I wear a size medium in most of my shirts (5'8" 140lbs) and I'm happy that I bought a size small in this jacket. Fits close with just enough room for a thin fleece layer underneath. It's probably not 100% windproof (and definitely not waterproof) but it makes a good outer layer and cuts most of the wind.

I'd say the coat is perfect for those temps. It will keep you warm without being too hot. I'd use a good, breathable under layer too.

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

Mine is outside all weather in Pennsylvania all year. I don't store my bike because I don't stop riding it when it gets cold. The water resistance lasts about a year. After that it's a dust cover. For the price you can afford to buy a new one each year.

Mine has held up well in NW corner of NJ. We had below zero weather snow, ice and rain and it did OK.

Depends on where you live. Recommended Temperature range: 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit

It provides a respectable amount of warmth for what it is (a rain jacket, not a coat). Throw on a couple layers under this jacket and you're good to go. I've worn this in non-rain, less than 40 degree (F) conditions and it's kept me warm with some layering.

This bag would probably be better for 40 to 50 f. When backpacking in San Jacinto Mtns this November and froze my butt offat 28 f. Hoping a liner will help.

that would probably depend on how far they are riding....I think the 27 oz would be best because of its slim design. the 40's circumference is much more than the 27. might make it difficult to mount to the bikes frame if thats how they use it.

I've ridden with my in the rain and it survived just fine. During one particularly heavy downpour during a long training ride I wrapped some cling wrap around it before attaching it to the bike but looking back I feel like that was probably unnecessary.

I'm not sure how they will hold up to the wind. From my experience in ~40F temps they keep my hands warm even when wet. My gloves are not waterproof and I work outside so when it is raining my hands do get wet but they stay warm. I am not sure how they would do cycling if you aren't moving your hands much if you are prone to cold hands like myself. Also the palm of the gloves is made of little grip "diamonds". They seem to be glued on but have held up so far. I have only had the gloves for a few months and don't use them every day. Hope I helped.

I live in the Houston, TX area so I can't comment on how well it holds up to cold but mine have been through a lot of rain with no problem. gary

It survived my Virginia winter last year with no problems, and I'm betting that colder Chicago won't throw it any curves. :)

The vents provide enough air for me. I ride a couple times a week in central Florida. Unless you are really sensitive to heat I think this would be ok.

I can only answer from a road cycling perspective as I got these for riding in colder weather. However feet moving for running is a different matter than feet moving on pedals. I was "okay" at 40 degrees F, although I would've liked my feet to have felt warmer.

This bag has kept me warm down to 20 F with no worries. At 60 one would most likely not have to zip the bag all the way up. It has been versatile over a wide range of temperatures.

This bag is made for really cold weather, but if you don't zip it up it should be fine for warmer weather. I've used it temps of 60s and in the 20s and its a great sleeping bag

I use this with a pretty small bike (Rebel 250), and it's not really an issue. The cover has a buckle at the front and elastics around the front and back edges. It does get blown around a bit, but it still keeps the weather off.
