Craft Windstopper Thermal jacket not for winter cycling

Hello,

Please don't make the same mistake I did and buy the Craft WS Thermal jacket and expect it to keep you warm in the cold. It doesn't. Craft advertises it as a winter jacket, but the design flaw with it is that the WS material stops about an inch short of either side of the zipper, so cold air pours in through the stretchy, breathable material, and your chest freezes. I sent pictures of this to Craft, along with a request for help, and have been blown-off. This jacket may be good if you do not encounter winds and it is mild out (^55 degrees), or your winter is in the deep south or Hawaii. If you need real winter cycling-specific jackets, look at Giordana, Castelli, and others companies like them, or use the tried-and-true windbreaker with layers and be wet. Best of luck.
