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.

They're supposed to be good to 28c. I'm riding 25s, so I haven't actually checked.

I find this jacket is best when it is 25-40 degrees out. It blocks the wind nicely and if you pair it with a warm scarf/hat/gloves, you could probably get away with wearing it when it's under 20 degrees.

As you can tell the consensus is this bag is great in the 20s. I used this bag in a hammock in 15-20F weather with a mild breeze and I was very comfortable.

It will hold up just fine if you secure it properly, if the wind whips up underneath and/or is moves it will not hold up - but neither will any other cover at this price point.

Used ours for an extended trip recently. It held up fine to all weather including rain and hail.

I only use it for cycling... I guess if its really cold, but I would look at just underarmour

I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill. Without wind, keeping lightly active (walking my dogs), wearing layers beneath it, and staying out of the direct wind, I have been kept comfortably warm. If you are more active (skiing or snowshoeing) you should stay quite warm. The jacket does not block wind very well, so if you are in windy conditions I do not think it would be enough unless you wore some sort of windbreaker over it, but I'm not sure about trying to fit it under something else. I have worn a thick wool sweater under it without any problems.

The rain stays out of it. I've had my bike outside. Then it got really hot here and the seat is still like how I left it before the rain. I'm not am avid rider though.

The straps on my rack have been exposed to quite a lot of super cold (Michigan) weather and held up well. However, the true test is to see if they can take a Texas summer. I recently moved from MI to TX so I will have a chance to take this data point in a few months. Basically, ask me again in 4 months...

I received this bike just before weather turned cold. I haven't ridden it much so can't answer your question, sorry.

It will hold up but 55L might be too small for you one month trip maybe a 65L since the 55 is small.

The manufacturer's website says "Water resistant design for all riding conditions." I live in a temperate rainforest and mine has held up to daily (ab)use, downpours and all.

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.

I live in North Texas and we have very hot summers. It has held up nicely so far.

As far as cross country is concerned, it's a very tough bike. and is well built. As far as bags are concerned,there is a ten pound limit, but as far as overheating, you shouldn't have any problems. The only problem I've had is with getting water on any electrical part, but it must be pretty hard rain or from a hose.

My husband wears it for riding a scooter in cold temperatures and the scooter makes for a windy ride. I think you'd be in good shape.
