Endura

Endura is becoming my go-to brand for cold or bad weather cycling gear. There's always one or two things that I feel could be better, usually with fit, but none of them are deal breakers and the value is fantastic. This jersey adds some warmth but has nice breathability. I sweat quite a lot, more than what technical fabrics can typically deal with, but even as this gets saturated it still keeps me warm. The pockets are nice, big enough to be useful, though as another reviewer mentioned the back coverage could be a bit longer, which also makes it somewhat more difficult to grab items out of the pockets.

For group rides, I prefer wearing a thermal long-sleeve under a normal jersey when the temp gets below 60 or so, and i'll swap this with the regular jersey when it gets into the low 50's and add a vest or wind shell as it gets colder. For commuting, this gets added at even higher temps since I'm usually not pushing as hard, and this makes an excellent mid layer for cold, wet commutes. The breathability helps me not feel like I'm melting when a rain jacket is added, and it provides some needed warmth on downhills or when some heavier winds are added to the mix.

These are really well made, plenty of pockets. I'm 5'10" around 170lbs and the medium fits great. The included liner is nice too, used them on rides of 2-3 hours and never think about them. I've been out in upper 40's to mid 50's and they are warm enough for me. Had one ride in misty rain and they did a pretty good job of staying dry. My only complaint is I wish they were 1-2 inches longer for better knee coverage. Going to try them with lycra knickers instead of the liner and see how they work in colder weather.

The fabric/material seems high quality, and I haven't had an issue with it.

I wear this jersey (alone, no under layer) for early morning rides up the nearby canyons. When the temperature is around 50 F, plus or minus a few, I'm totally fine, even going down the canyons on the way back home, but I haven't tried it on anything colder yet. When it's in the upper 40's, I'll be a little bit cold at the start of a ride, until I get warmed up. I usually have to leave before sunrise, so it does get warmer on my ride, but that's about as close to a temperature rating I can give (I don't get bothered much by it being too cold, unless it's on my hands and feet).

I've only worn it in dry/fair weather, so I can't comment on exposure to rain, etc.

Amazing shoes for keeping warm and dry in mud season. I purchased these once seeing 2 inches of rain followed by 30F temps with 20MPH winds for this years Natchaug Epic gravel fondo in CT. Read great reviews and figured the Scots knew a thing or two about cold wet conditions. They are quite tight with the Large size barely fitting over a pair of 43 Fizik Terras, but nice and snug once zipped up. Unfortunately the zipper on the left boot failed when I first put them on but BikeTiresDirect sent a replacement the next day. Second pair had no issues.

Once on they protect your shoes well and are much sturdier than road booties. My cleats poke out enough to properly hike a bike and the rubber up front helps grip too.

On bike they do an amazing job isolation you from wind and water. Our route had icy puddles up to the pedals within the first 2 miles and while others had to swap socks out or complained of freezing toes I was fine over the course of a 5 hour ride. Never felt the wind and any water that may have splashed in the top didnt make an impact with wool socks underneath. When our group missed a turn and had to do an extended hike a bike i had no issues slipping on wet rocks.

Fantastic product and great support for BikeTiresDirect! Just be careful with sizing and putting them on.
