Marmot DriClime?
Anybody use one for riding? I live in SoCal, doesn't get very cold. Winter riding to work is usually 45-50. However, with the wind it gets chilly. These have good rating on REI. Thoughts?

I use a driclime vest and I love it for it's wind blocking abilities. I would not use a windshirt or jacket. They do not vent well enough, in my opinion. At 45-50°, I use the vest and a short or long sleeve baselayer only.

I say "used to" because I've since replced it with a different jacket with a cycling cut (long in the back) instead of the DriClime's jacket's climber cut (room in the shoulders/pits). Aside from that, I had no complaints.
