- Body: 100% polyester; Weight: 90 g/m2; Lining: 100% polyester; Use simple detergents with no additives; Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product; The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better.; Many detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance; Typically the best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names; Don't pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water; If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water; This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants. Read the care content label; On the inside of your garment, or on the hangcard, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece; On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions; On finer fabrics, use a "Gentle" cycle. Close all zippers, attach "hook and loop" closures on gloves You can use the dryer, carefully; If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a "Hot" setting); This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities; If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.

Ok just received my jacket. Sizing, I'm 5'10" 185 and large fits great, not to tight so I can fit a mid weight under it and not to baggy to catch wind. I love the detachable sleeves makes a great 2 in 1. Over all great buy
Update 3/6/12
Just did my first ride in the jacket, 25 miles Temp was about 30 degrees and really windy. I must say the jacket preformed awesome. The wind blocker in the front really works and sleeves are long so they don't ride up and let the wrists get cold. Now on the sizing, I did have a little wind flapping in the shoulders but if it were any smaller it would be two tight in the chest and back with a base layer. Now in the summer with a heat gear base layer and the sleeves off it will probably be a little big, well not tight like a jersey, but on the other hand if your not a racer looking for the least wind resistance which I'm not it will be nice. I hope this review helps, I would recommend this jacket!!!!

Bought this to replace an REI-branded jacket that had zipper issues. The PI Elite Barrier jacket is purposed differently than what I had but overall it is a better product for me. The material is lighter weight and stuffs easily, the downside is that it is not as windproof nor as waterproof. However I don't ride in the rain (on purpose)and I always dress in layers so the small amount of wind that gets through is not a huge issue. Unlike most of PI's garments, the jacket fits true to size. I wear an XL in their jersey's but a Large in this jacket fits better on me - snug without being too tight. The sleeves are long enough to not ride-up when I'm down in the drops. The material is soft and flexible and there is a sewn-in neck lining that is very soft and feels like brushed cotton but I'm sure it's a synthetic material. The waist band has an elastic cord with a gripper to snug it as much as you need and the back of the jacket has a vent that can be opened or closed (partially) with a Velcro tab to control the airflow through the jacket.
While I have not used it without the sleeves, I did take one sleeve off to see how easy or difficult the process was and I am pleased to write that the zipper meshes easily and the sleeves come off and go on with ease. Overall I am happy with it and would highly recommend it, especially for the price offered on Amazon.

This has become my default riding jacket. The fabric is soft, quiet and comfortable, but does a relatively good job in blocking the wind. Construction quality is high. The bright color and reflectors help with visibility when dark. It is not insulated, but works best as a top layer. For mornings in the 30s, this over an under armour base and long sleeve jersey have been fine. When it falls into the 20s or teens, or when there is a lot of wind, I add a fleece layer. It is not the best for heavy rain. On such days GoreTex is the way to go. I like the flexibility of removable sleeves. Over all, I think it is a great riding jacket and a good value.
