A jacket with zip-off sleeves is the most versatile layering piece, and obviously versatility is key for packing light. Wear the Pearl Izumi Men’s Elite Barrier Jacket out on a cool or blustery day—it serves as a great weather-resistant shell and ventilates extra heat through the back panel. When your muscles have heated up to full-throttle mode, zip off the sleeves to make the jacket a vest. The sleeves come off in one piece so you won’t mix ‘em up, and they stow neatly in the jacket’s center back pocket ‘till you need them again.

Very pleased

Rating:*****
I bought this jacket last month and have nothing but good things to say about it. I did a century ride in the White mountains today with 20 mph winds at 45 degrees. I never felt the wind nor did the jacket ever feel wet from perspiration, it wicks well and dries very fast! The sleeves zip off in a snap though it takes longer to put them back on. The fabric is very supple and everything seems well made. A bit pricey but worth it imo...

pearl izumi does it again. keeps out the wind and wet while keeping you from over heating, arms are easy to remove and the vest clinches at the shoulder. a great top layer.
