Not Perfect, but it delivers what it promised
The quality to cost ratio is as advertised.Two comments (not complaints): 1. for running the fabric should be more supple (minor). 2. The zippers are the typical tiny-toothed cheapos that will consistently get caught in the thin fabric (not minor, its a PITA)

Almost perfect
I use it when I go jogging at sunset. It’s a little small on me though.

lightweight, three season
I run a fast 40mph ebike/moto year round so need good wind resistance. I have a heavier jacket for winter, I use this the other three seasons. It packs small and rolls into the small stuffsack (in pic) I had laying around. Packability is important because space is at a premium when afternoons warm up and it's no longer needed. One feature I think is unnecessary- the zip off sleeves! I would much rather have simple pit zips that you can easily open or close on the move. Zip off sleeves are just...silly, impractical and over designed. Wind resistance is good, I haven't had it out in heavy rain, just light sprinkles so I can't gauge water resistance. I'm a medium build, 5'6", got a medium. Fit is ok, not too billowy in wind. Wish the front was about an inch longer, but it does have a cycling drop back cut. One cargo pocket in rear. Cuffs are elastic and can ride up over gloves sometimes. Zippers are average, feels like they could jam or strip if forced. Reflectivity is good (see pic). Safety orange color is a little on the faded side, I notice that with our foliage in brilliant Fall colors right now (11/1/21) I could actually be blending in too much among the trees! 🍂🍁🚵💨🍂I'm pretty picky so...overall I'm happy with the jacket, beside what I mentioned.

Excellent for Cool Weather Bicycling
The weight is just right for riding in temperatures down to, say, the low 40s, assuming that you wear a polypropylene undershirt below, say, 55°. Of course, every person is different, so this is just my assessment. Other than that, the color is perfect for visibility. The zipper functions very well. The pockets are zippered and easily accommodate even a large smartphone. I was caught in a brief light rain, and it does appear to be waterproof in that kind of event, but I can't judge how it would stand up to a real rain storm, when you probably shouldn't be riding anyway. I have worn the jacket in temps up to the low 70s, and it does not seem to trap moisture inside. I stow it in a 3-ball tennis ball can in the rear water bottle container. It requires some hard pushing, but it does fit, and it sheds wrinkles pretty well after being removed from the can. The overall quality is excellent, and it should last for several cold seasons.

Baleaf vs Little Donkey Bicycling Shells – Fabric difference
I purchased BOTH the Little Donkey & Baleaf convertible sleeveless cycling jackets. They are very similar in design, price and features. Baleaf has a broader color selection and is a more established brand with 1,400 reviews vs Little Donkey’s 180. Each is convertible with easy zip sleeve removal.Neither brand in this model is waterproof and both offer GREAT zippered pocket options which was a major plus for me.I purchased in May with chilly mornings and warm afternoons such I wore in a decent temperature range.VERDICT: I’m keeping the Little Donkey and returning the Baleaf based on superior breathability.While the fabrics look similar they are not. As soon as you put the Little Donkey on you can feel the breathability. It is ULTRA-LIGHT on your torso and its ability to cool you is apparent from the git-go. It also provides some heat retention and wind resistance such it works both ways to keep your body temperature good while you exercise or just walk about.Baleaf is different. No disrespect as they are a known brand and I have stuff from them, but as soon as I put their product on I could feel the difference in breathability. Baleaf feels heavier without an air exchange.Each product offers detachable sleeves, but the Little Donkey is so light and breathable you may not need to remove them to stay cool.For reference I live in Rhode Island USA and ride roughly 50 minutes per 5 days a week.

Convertable
Ive been wearing one for 5 years. Zipper died so got a new now and love it. I live in rain country, Oregon. I ride 200 days a year so give it good work out.

Awesome cycling jacket!
First of all, I absolutely hate putting personal pictures on any social network, but I felt the need to do it this time. As most of you know, trying to figure out if a particular clothing article will fit, especially purchasing it online, can be very frustrating.I usually have good luck figuring out what size to purchase by reading reviews, but like I said, it can be a pain trying to figure out what size to order. Plus I needed to get this cycling jacket in time for a long road cycling trip.Looking at the manufactures sizing chart, they recommend a Large for my body dimensions, but I was not comfortable with that. My chest measures at 42 inches, my waist at 32 inches. The sizing chart measurements for the chest are 40 1/2 to 42 1'2 and waist measurements are 34 1/2 to 36 1/2, for a Large size.I instead ordered a medium because my waist measures at 32 inches. An additional 2-4 inches of material would have put me into a Windsail!Well, after receiving my Baleaf Cycling Jacket in the mail, I wore it for a 100 mile road cycling trip the next day! It fit me perfectly and performed flawlessly! I was truly pleased wearing this jacket. It is very breathable and I did not feel any wind go through this jacket and the winds were fairly strong. Temperatures were from 48 degrees when I first started off and ended up in the middle 50's by afternoon.This jacket has very nice zipper pockets on both left and right sides. I was able to carry my license and debt cards.So, if you are looking for an inexpensive, but very functional, comfortable cycling jacket, I would not hesitate one bit purchasing this Baleaf jacket. You will be highly pleased and amazed, indeed!

Works well but you'll need to take it off to remove the sleeves
I'm 5'8" 145 lb and ordered a Small size. Fits well, doesn't flap in the wind that I recall (being August now, it's been 3 months since I used it last). You would have to be double jointed to remove the sleeves without taking it off. But, often simply unzipping the sleeves as far as you can is enough ventilation around this arm pits to keep the sleeves.Blocks wind well but don't expect water proofing. At best, it will repel a small drizzle but anything more and it will soak through.

Great cycling jacket
This is the best jacket for cycling, very bright for visibility and zippered for temp control.

Fits large
Would rate it a 5 star, but had to return it. It fits large so order a size down. Otherwise its a good jacket.
