I don't recommend trying to save money and going for the SL version of this
jacket. It's tempting, as you get essentially the same jacket, except in
paclite fabric, for $280 retail.
However, while the fit of the jacket is amazing, the paclite fabric really
doesn't breathe well, and that's compounded by the lack of pit zips. To be
fair, it's sold as an emergency shell, and for that use it's fantastic - just
not great for high output activities like biking.
