Pearl Izumi Women's Fly Jacket

This is a pretty jacket with nice detailing on the back. However, in order for Pearl Izumi to vent their jacket they left large open cutouts under thearm pit area, which is hard to see on the photo of the black jacket. I didn't want these large cut out gaps in my jacket, easily seen if you should move or lift you arms, so I returned mine. It is very light weight, would probably keep you warm with several base layers under the jacket. Also be forewarned, they run super small, so order a size up. I ordered another Pearl Izumi jacket as I love how well made their jackets are and how reliable their company is to their customers.

I totally love this jacket. I have worn this for short runs and now a mountain hike. It defn blocks out wind but gives you air for your body to be airy. I wish there was a pocket inside although there is a pocket in the back but its really to air out your back. So if you have it open you can't put anything because it may pop out. But I love this steal. It does fit me perfectly. But that being said, if you are a bit more bigger on the top either the chest or stomach, not a great option. But I love every part of it. it keeps me cool in the fall when I am warming up and when I take it off its so light i don't feel it bouncing if I tie it up. What I love also is when your running, you can easily have three layers, if you layer with thin layers. But layer with smart layers, wicking and keeps heat etc... totallyl recommend as a light jacket for windyish and rainy days.

Arrived just in time for my race on a rainy day. So light but repels water. Although the wrist fabric soaked up the water

WAY too small, sadly I am again at a lost to find running apparel for large size woman, shame Pearl Izumi
