This is a great place to start with. In "killer yellow". I got one for Christmas, and now that I have one, I noticed two of my friends have them too. Excellent basic jacket, very versatile, and the removable sleeves and stuff pouch features are awesome for when you start going on longer rides. As the day warms up, you can vent via the front zipper and/or sleeve zippers, then take the sleeves off altogether, then if it gets warm enough to remove the jacket, it stuff into its own back pocket and there is an elastic strap so you can put it on like a belt or strap it to your rack.
