"Fantastic. My first purely 'windproof' top.
Toasty thanks to the fleecy Roubaix lining. It has kept me comfortably warm at around 0-2'C with just a thin base layer underneath -- there's enough breathability to keep you from getting too hot. However, in really cold weather I think I'd still layer up with my Altura Nevis jacket, and rely on pulling the zips down to cool off as I warm up. It's good to have some flexibility
The jacket is slightly stretchy and quite snug around the body, which I suppose helps to divert the wind. It also makes for a sporty appearance, much better than my bulky waterproof top!
It fits nicely over the shoulders and under the arms, and the tail of the jacket stretches down over the ar*e nicely. Definitely designed well for use while cycling. Speaking of the tail, it's got a grippy strip that keeps it in place.
The pockets are just about OK for small items, and there is a small zipped pocket big enough for your keys. A small fabric hook inside one of the pockets would allow you to attach a belt clip/keyring. As I almost always have pannier anyway it's not a big problem but I couldn't fit my wallet into the pockets.
All the pockets are on the rear of the jacket, which means they're not really ideal for use with a phone or MP3 player.
As usual with cycling gear it's probably worth taking a size larger than you would with normal clothing -- I bought a Large (my shirt collar size is 16.5").
Can't comment on how well it'll wear as I've only been out in it a few times."
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Lightweight, Good Fit

Mixed boxes are available, but sadly Wiggle don't stock them!
(to Wiggle: I'd guess lots of us want the mixed boxes, maybe you could stock them?)
Of course I won't provide links to another retailer here, but google search is your friend ;-)

43" chest, 5'8" height - what size to order?
I am fairly short (5'8"), with a 43" chest and 34" waist. What size should I order this jersey in? Thanks!
You're a little shorter than me but similar chest and waist -- I'd suggest a large.
