@dwmckee, yes I did. I paid extra for a nice blue color, which I don't normally do, but if I'm going to use it for years, I ought to like it. I haven't given it a good test yet, as it hasn't been cold yet, nor have I ridden my bike. I spent a week in Washington, DC at a professional conference and was stuck in a hotel the whole time. So far, it is pretty impressive. It is extremely lightweight, and as you said, it's compressible. I've taken advantage of the compressibility, stuffing it into my already-full backpack. I like the collar, as it serves to keep my neck warm. I wasn't sure which size to get, as I'm between medium and large. I chose large, and that was a good thing. It has room for sweaters underneath. I'm a little concerned that it is long enough in the back, as most cycling specific clothing usually is. Also, I expect it to have reflective features, and the only one is the logo on the left side of the chest. I'll put some of my own reflective material.
So far, so good.
I need it to be warm and windproof but most of all breathable. I suspect this will be breathable, which means I need there to be a limit to how much heat it retains. My ski jacket gets much too hot even when I'm not cycling all that vigorously.
Feel free to nudge me in a few weeks.
