Jacket  MattisonPeri, New Plymouth
Very light jacket, and folds down into a very small package. I think the arms are abit flappy, and could be tighter. But once again, Torpedo7 has done a great job! Torpedo7 rocks!

OK  PaulE, chch
Windproof, showerproof, and yes the zip seems a bit flimsy. Definitely on the small size. I wore mine through winter and it's served it's purpose well. Happy to have bought it on half price.. not sure if i'd be so happy paying $50.
overall : OK

Not a good fit  VinceS, PARRAMATTA
Very light and folds up to nothing but I don't know why everyone is suggesting to go 2 sizes up.

I'm 5'8" and normally a M and originally I went 2 sizes up and that was massive, exchanged it for 1 size up and that is still massive. I don't think even M will be right coz the sleeves are just way too long.

Also the zipper is pretty fragile I think probably for lightweight purposes.

Route 7 wind resistant jacket  MichaelTapealava, Ravensbourne
Very very light that does fold up to nothing, you can fit it in your jacket pocket. The material is soooo thin and it hugs the body tightly. The size is on a small, so go 2 sizes up. Its a summer jacket NOT ONE FOR THE WINTER! It has a vent on the back thats works perfectly...the wind runs right down your spine when your at full speed!!!

good on special  VikramKhanna, Howick
Good fit and material - but the zip is pretty much as per other reviews - below average.

Agreed  ShaneMaycock, SOUTH YARRA
I agree with many of the other comments. Great light weight jacket which has taken the chill of morning rides. However a bit on the smaller size and the zippers need A LOT of TLC when used to ensure they will survive. Won't be the easiest top to take off mid ride without stopping.

Good Fit  MikeKeegan, Paraparaumu
Flaps around a wee bit in the wind. But overall for the money does the job in keeping the wind out. Not shower proof.

very light!  ChrisRider, ELSTERNWICK
It's very light and will definitely fit in a jersey pocket without any worries. I have to agree with other comments on the zip quality, but for the price on sale I can't complain!

Contrary to others, I found the sizing quite generous. I wear a small normally, but this one was maybe a little bit baggy and an x-small might have been better.

Overall though, definitely no complaints!

R7 Wind Resistant Jacket  PhilClark, Greytown
Good top, does the job well, and really lite and compact but sizing is definitely on the small side...normally take an XL but went up to an XXL, and zipper could be a bit more robust...otherwise all good. Top service from T7 again, well done folks!

ok  SamKing, BORONIA
Very short in the front. I am 6'2" and "L" sits at my belly button, but not too fussed looks like it will do the job.

Does The Job  DaveJohnson, Springfield Rotorua
Very lightweight wind jacket which looks quite stylish too! Folds up really small to fit in your pack if you get too hot or just want to carry it round for "just in case it gets too cold". Be aware of the sizing, I normally take Large and got the XXL and it is s perfect fit. Zip doesn't open all the way so it is pop over the head to put on. Top marks for delivery, ordered Thursday morning and it arrived Friday morning.

Pocket Perfect  ToddJennings, Casebrook
For the sheer size of the thing, it works brilliantly!! Fits in your pocket and completely blocks the wind. It's making these nice cold morning rides a lot more bearable!! I Third the size thing though, go big.

Good Jacket  SteveHoldsworth, STEPNEY
Really works well, keeps the wind out and is super light, the sizing was a small fit, so go a size larger than normal, the zip is a little average and will be the first thing to go. Buy is on special only!!!

Nice Jacket  KiriWilson, Taupo
It's a good lite wind resistant jacket, but really small sizing. I ordered a medium and will be returning it for a extra large.
