baleaf Men's Winter Cycling Jersey Long Sleeve Fleece Thermal Bike Jacket Bicycle Clothing Windproof Cold Weathre Gear

40 plus year competitive, usually sponsored, cyclist and triathlete. After decades of always wearing team gear I recently "retired" from serious competitive cycling and now only train with former teammates and race the occasional sprint Tri. But that means I had to start buying my own cycling clothing. I've worn most of the big name brands: Assos, Voler, PI, Castelli , Hincapie etc. and was concerned about buying a non-traditional "Amazon" brand. Over the past 3 years or so, I've bought a number of Baleaf items - socks, running shorts, etc. and since those turned out fairly nice (all except a cycling vest which I thought was mediocre at best), I thought I would give this jacket/jersey a try.The jersey/jacket is very nicely made. I've worn better, but this comes pretty close in terms of fit, finish, feel, weight and general utility, and everything I've ever worn that I think was better retails for upwards of $200. The pockets are a perfect depth and at a perfect location on the back. The stretchy material at the top of the pockets is about right. The feel of the material is fine - again, I've worn much more high tech materials that definitely felt better, but I didn't have to pay for those! The color is great, but that's very subjective. The zipper works perfectly and feels as good as what is on better brands.The only things I can think of that might be improved upon are the collar - it's a bit loose for my taste - and the the overall fit - it's also a bit loose, somewhere between a race cut and a club fit. The fit is not bad at all and I generally like it, and I suspect most casual cyclists will like it too. I'm 6'2" 170 pounds and bought the large. The sleeves and tail are the perfect length.Overall, I highly recommend this jersey/jacket.

I rode with this jacket in the 50-degree northern California late December. I wore this jacket over a long sleeve cotton layer underneath. It kept me comfortable for the entire 15-mile 1300-feet-climb ride, never too cold, hot, or sweaty. The inner fleece retains the body heat and wicks moisture at the same time. That said, it's not 100% wind-proof as I could feel the cold air seeping in at speeds above 20mph. As far as I know, the only jackets 100% wind-proof are covered with Gore-tex material but cost $200+.The overall quality is very good - zipper, pockets, silicon gripper, tight sleeve-ends, etc... Compared to the high-end Perl Izumi and Catelli jackets I currently own, this Baleaf jacket does not disappoint.As for size, I'm medium-built 5'5", 31-in waist, 140lbs, 38-in chest with a short torso, and normally wear either a Medium or a Small depending on the brand. The Small size in this jacket is perfect for me as I prefer form-fitting. I probably would fit into the Medium but I think it will be slightly baggy and long in the back for me.Overall, I'm happy with this product and would highly recommend.

great jacket - had to return first order because the Large size was so small - I'm 165lbs - 5'10" - ordered a XXL second time and it fits perfect . Only issue I wish it had zipped pockets , don't feel safe putting anything of value in back pockets - light weight and very warm - worth the money

Baleaf makes some outstanding cycling clothing. To me it is on par with LuLu Lemon. But at an affordable price. This winter fleece bike jersey is made of top quality material. Soft yet durable. It has a nice structured drap to it. Iowa fall bike rides can be beautiful but chilly. I worn it a couple times and kept me warm on a 20 mile ride. Its breathable and wicks sweat away.I'm 6' 175lbs. Ordered a large and fit me just fine. I like the blue color but would also like a neon green jersey for better visibility. Highly recommend.

This is a well made jersey and a great value fo the money. It's warm and fits well once you find your size. Don't trust the size charts. Go up or down in size if you think you need to. The sizing charts are all over the place and seem to have nothing to do with your measurements. I was supposed to fit into an extra large but it was huge so I returned it and got a large and it fits perfectly. At the same time I bought a Baleaf short sleeve jersey (another fine product), and its size chart said I needed a large but the large was too tight so I had to return that one for an extra large, which fit perfectly. Everyone's body is different and I'm sure there are those who will fit according to the chart. I hope you're one of them. Despite the sizing inconsistencies it's a fine product and I would recommend it.

This was a wonderful addition to my cycling equipment collection. It is comfortable and warm. It fits and looks really nice. The jersey pockets in the back work as you would expect and jersey pocket to do so. If you start old cold and it heats up to much, this does compact down really well and fit in my jersey pocket.

This feels like a much more expensive jersey. The fit is good and it keeps the chill out on fall days. The zipper pocket is a little tough to use but it works.

Over all it is okay except back pockets, it is hard to slide in Iphone 13 into the pockets due to tight openings and material type. Pockets depth is long enough for the phone but pockets stick to the body of the jersey and can not slide items or phone into them.
