It's supposed to be very fine & thin so I'm hoping to use it quite a bit on moderate summer days. I'll cold wash it and hang dry it and hope to heck it doesn't shrink up my back since they don't offer a tall version.
I got this today and it's really nice, comfortable feeling and very light and airy but not transparent. I think it will be OK for even warmer summer days. We'll see. What I like is that it doesn't fit too loose for me and it still is plenty tall (so far). The back pocket is perfect for my weekend rides. I never fill up all 3 pockets in my jerseys. Just the middle one (unless I carry arm warmers).
As soon as they run out of this color they seem to indicate that they'll stock this design in another color so I'll probably buy another in some other color if they do.
