"(My wife says:) This jacket is super lightweight and rolls up to fit in my jersey pocket when not needed.
The styling is smart and fitted and I like that the material is see-through. The arm length is great as I'm on the tall side (175cm) and this can quite often be a problem for me.
The collar is comfortable as it's lined in soft-touch material. The only thing against it is the feel of the inner surface which has a rubbery texture and initially feels strange on bare skin. (You get used to it, though.)
I bought a size 16 when I'm normally a 12/14 but this does allow for a layer or 2 underneath.
All in all, VERY happy with this purchase."

Thank you

No,unfortunately, this jacket doesn't have any pockets at all. I guess that is to ensure the integrity of the waterproofing.

Shimano XC60 Mountain Bike Shoes 2013
Lightweight Mountain bike shoes for high milage cross country rides and races. The XC60 has an XC specific feature set that provides durability, efficiency and comfort at a low weight for outstanding performance on the trails.
With regard to shoe sizing, do you need to purchase one size up like other shimno )shoes (which tend to on the small side of the sizing char
I bought a size up on normal for comfort. As they have the velcro straps across the top of the foot and the adjustable clip your foot doesn't slip in the shoe but the extra length allows some room for your foot to swell a little without discomfort in the warmer weather.

Great value touring SPD pedal with all new lightweight and stylish body.
How to get out?
I like the look of these but how do you twist out of them? Although I am getting these for a trip I would plan on using them for my 6 mile commute t work, and I'm worried that these will be too hard t twist out of in emergencies.
To release cleat from pedal a outward twist motion with heal is required. To start with reduce spring tension on cleats until you are familiar with release motion.

Single direction release?
I currently have a pair of shimano SPd shoes for my Mtb and looking to add pedals to my recently purchased road bike! Are the cleats supplied single direction release or is it the pedal itself?
I read on a review that someone had to turn their foot toward the frame of the bike rather than away from it which I currently do on my mtb, turning towards the frame doesn't fill me with much confidence in the middle of traffic should i need to put a foot down quickly.
Thanks

Cleats provide with pedals are single release, twist motion is heal out to release.
