A lot will depend on the actual characteristics of your commute. Flat? Hilly? Long? Short? Cargo? Speed & Intensity? Amount of rain? Temperatures? Snow?
That jacket doesn't appear as if it would match the characteristics of my riding, but perhaps your riding is different enough that it would be fine.
