Great windbreaker, worth every penny Fit: Vagabond II fits very well on average/slender person. Size medium is perfect at shoulders, enough room around torso (unlike the Zephrr jacket which is too tight around torso), and allows for layering. No parachute effect yet not too tight. Comfort: Soft material, comfortable to wear on off-road trails in Long Island during fall season (40-60F). Have not tried it as a vest. Appearance: Understated yet technical and stylish at the same time. Performance: Breaks wind chills effectively, have not ridden in rain, movement is not restricted. (Note: This is a shell for breaking wind & rain, not for warmth.) Price: Best price for a Vagabond II ('08) around. Best Use: Fall (or spring) temp between 40-60F to reduce heat loss from wind. Use as outer shell on top of layers. Vest could possibly be used on warmer days when it's breezy.

Sleeves too tight, can't slide up for ventillation I've had several Vagabond jackets, and I recently "tried on" the 2008 model at a local bike store. What I really liked about the new model: removable sleeves, ample pockets, adjustable waste, style and overall quality. What I don't like: the sleeves fit so tight that its impossible to slide the sleeves up for ventilation. The sleeves on my older Vagabond jacket are loose enough to slide the sleeves up as the temperature warms up. I also have a newer model that the sleeves cannot be slid up, which makes the jacket much less versatile.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No
