Cutter Cyclical eVent Jacket - Men's - 2009

I wear this jacket mainly as a commuting piece to cut the breeze early in the AM. I live in the desert where one might think sweating out wouldn't be a problem. This jacket does an honorable but not amazing job of breathing. It would be nice to have a set of pit zips or perhaps some small core vents. I am 6' and 175lbs and I am wearing the large. Sleeve length is great but it could be slightly more tapered in the body. I look forward to using this more in the fall as an MTB Jacket and am sure it will be more adequately suited to that purpose for me.

Ok, so I purchased this jacket at the end of Feb of this year. I have woren it in SF and Lake Tahoe at the beginning of March. I live in Denver. Have been wearing it almost everyday since the weather has been getting warm. Dont get me wrong; a layer under this jacket turns it into a body glove. 40 degree weather + is perfect for this jacket. The eVent material is super breathable; have not had it in the rain much It is definetly waterproof. Learned that when I found a hole in my lip and spill water over my chest. Super stuffable.
Only con is that the pocket on the back of the coat has a zipper the pokes the back. I am 5'10" 175; larger shoulders; Large is perfect for me. Usually by Med sizes, so definitely by one size bigger. I can fit this jacket on with a tshirt and med-thick sweater on under it. I could go on and on how this jacket is worth every penny. The fact is that Cutter has producted a great products and if you dont like it your can renturn it...... Lifetime warranty... now only if Cutter made more rugged gear for Backcounty adventures.

The zipper is hard to start but the attention to detail on the rest of the coat is amazing. All riding jackets should have the extended wrist and back coverage the way this jacket does. I originally wanted a softshell when I talked to the sales department and they were wrong about this garment, it's a hardshell and I didn't give this jacket 5 stars because it doesn't vent the way it's advertised but it's great in the cold Chicago spring/late winter riding weather. It's a great coat.

The Event fabric breathes well and I've stayed dry so far (Portland in the winter). The cut and style is great (note, it's a pretty slim fit - if you're border line, go the size larger). I can't think of anything I don't like about it.

I'm very happy with this jacket; I've used it in a few downpours, and for general windbreaking on cold days. It does the job very well.

It's best used off-road: it loses one star because it's got practically zero reflective striping on it-- to a car, you look "notblack".

this is an awesome jacket that is totally waterproof. i've only had it for a few days and i cant wait to use it more often. it's totally breathable so no more sweaty build up after working out at the gym.

the only complaint is that the main zipper is a little difficult to zip up. but it's not impossible.

originally i ordered a small thinking that it would fit well on my 5'4", 135lb, frame. I wear a 38" chest size, but it was a little too snug around the chest and shoulders. it's no where near the 41" thats specified on the size chart. it's not impossible to wear while riding though. it felt nice when hunched over the handlebars, but i wanted something that i could feel comfortable in while layering so I decided to size up to a medium. that did the trick. the medium is an excellent fit for me. the arm length difference between the S and M is negligible, but the little extra girth in the chest/shoulder area made a world of difference in comfort. so size up!

Nice jacket, but either I should be on stage posing at bodybuilding competitions or the sizing for this jacket is the same as used for their Women's line.

This is at least one size off for me.

ran a little small for the medium, had to go for a large. Typical large social wear fits too close, xl shirts fit loosely. 170 6'1"
Great jacket, very light weight and extremely breathable. Went running and biking and could tell it breathes exceptionally well while keeping me dry from the nw rain. Excellent construction, best you can buy at this price period. Can be 'ironed' to restore waterproofness (unlike gore). I'm going to iron on some retroreflective tape for commuting. Too dark in color is my complaint. Would rather a burnt orange or earth yellow for commuting too.

Hi, I bought this jacket about a month ago and its awesome. eVent is the bomb, both waterproof and breathable. I have used the jacket commuting in rain, sleet, and below freezing temps with no problems at all. I have even used it while raining and 60plus degrees didn't overheat. The nice thing about the jacket is that it's very packable and light. It's nice to lose a layer of clothes and have a jacket that works well in all conditions. The fit is very true to size. Oh I have also crashed on the MTB with this jacket and it held together nicely. thanks for a nice product at a cheap price.
