Customer Reviews Pearl Izumi Quest Barrier Convertible Jacket

Nice jacket. Tried both a S and XS. Neither fit right enough to keep. Wishing had found one with a hood. The fabric was too thin. Want it to wear at the beach, the coast where it's cool and windy at night and this would NOT keep me warm. Is a very nice jacket if it suits your NEEDS.

This particular item fit better than the XS for me - 5'4 107lbs...the other just too "perfect" of a fit - not much other layering would fit under BUT this particular jacket stunk of someones cologne...back it goes for a "clean" one.

Baggy and unattractive. Love the concept!

I'm a short distance urban commute cyclist who loathes the cold, so was looking primarily for high visibility and wind-blocking qualities. The Small fit perfectly but I would not be able to layer anything under it so went with the Medium which has been great so far. Zippers all feel smooth and sturdy (love the 2-directional zip) as does the mesh. Fabric is very light and, as another person noted, it feels like the snaps may be a weak point in the long run so a little extra care when removing the sleeves is probably a good idea.

Jacket fits well and looks good. Snaps on the back should be replaced with velcro. It attaches and detaches more easily, with less strain on the fabric. I plan to keep it and cover the back snaps with velcro.

This jacket gets 2 stars for its beautiful color & lightweight fabric, which is what I'm looking for. However, it is easily TWO sizes too small. Why are companies selling garments in the US which are unsuitable for most Americans? They could at least label them accordingly. UGH. Returning ASAP.

This jacket, like so many other garments, was not designed for the typical American woman. In other words, it was TWO sizes too small. Gorgeous color, very lightweight, but went straight back. Just a waste of my time.
