Amazon.com Product Description
The perennial favorite Zephrr Jacket by Pearl Izumi has been updated with a softer, more wind and water resistant Zephrr fabric and flattering new lines. Offering lightweight, core protection for biking, the Zephrr polyester fabric is soft, supple, lightweight, and easy to stow when you've warmed up. The jacket has a full-length front zipper for temperature control and easy on/off. With a comfortable and insulating, moisture wicking micromesh lined collar, the jacket has a streamlined, form fit for speed and does a great job repelling water and breaking the wind.

Like all Pearl Izumi products the Zephrr Jacket has a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, that excludes failures from accidents, misuse, improper care, or normal wear. For best results Pearl Izumi recommends washing its products with detergents free of additives, such as fabric softeners and perfumes, because detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Hang dry the product or dry it on a low or warm dryer setting. Never use a hot dryer setting or use a commercial dryer as this will damage the fabric's performance.

Customer Reviews

So far so good!
I don't have much experience in cycling or even cycling clothes, but for my first experience here are my thoughts.

Pros:
-Comfortable
-Lightweight
-Good quality
-Nice color
-Keeps you well insulated (although I use thermals/under-armor on exceptionally cold days)
-Vents for armpits are actually very useful
-Cuts through wind perfectly
-Nice style, I have worn it out as a regular jacket a couple of times (or maybe everyone thought I looked stupid but didn't want to tell me)

Cons:
-Price <-- I have a feeling this product could easily be 10 bucks cheaper but then again, quality cycling clothing has never been cheap
-Sometimes the zipper will get undone but placing the bottom elastic band over your waist will help (I don't have the problem anymore)

Other thoughts:
Order a size larger than what they suggest. I am a male, my waist is 31-32 but I went with a large instead of a medium which works out perfectly because I like to layer up and I don't feel like it's too tight, but it's definitely not loose.

Like I said, I don't have much experience with cycling, I wear this jacket mainly for commuting to work (5 miles each way). So, if you are a daily bicycle commuter, and you need a jacket for the fall weather, this is perfect. I will also try this jacket out in the winter, but I have a feeling a regular winter coat will be my ultimate choice.
