Five stars relative to the selling price of 17 USD, including prompt shipping from China by Bill&Candy. The fit may be a little small for an XL, but it is definitely NOT a full size smaller. So, I would advise ordering up a size only if you're on the cusp between two sizes. Your mileage may vary.
Obviously, it's not the equal of a very nice jacket by Bontrager that I have seen for 125 USD. For example, the logo on the left breast has been botched. It's wrapped up into a seam. Still, the jacket is sufficient for my purposes. The screaming green color is highly visible.
This Wolfbike jacket came in a large zip lock plastic bag. It will live in that bag in a pannier. I agree with other reviewers that it does seem somewhat flimsy and is not suitable for daily wear or for hard core bicycle tourism. I don't plan on using the two front side pockets because the zippers on these pockets seem particularly prone to failure.
I like the fact that this Wolfbike jacket is breathable and therefore not fully waterproof. You can exhale through the fabric pretty easily. It should be useful through the sixties and down to the upper fifties [Fahrenheit] when worn over a short sleeved jersey. Layering the jacket over a fleece vest and/or a fleece jacket will take it colder.
For really cold weather, I have a fully waterproof and windproof bomber jacket similar to
this one
, except mine is almost all high visibility yellow with very little black trim. The bomber is truly the bomb when temps are in the forties, but it can't be used above fifty degrees for bicycling because it doesn't breath at all. The bomber is useful during Spring and Fall for sedentary activities, but it's only good for bicycling during the Winter. Unlike this Wolfbike jacket, the bomber is built for continuous hard work, such as snowblowing, winter hiking during hunting season, cross country skiing, etc.
