Nike Sphere

Nobody has used it?

Last time I'm bumping just to make sure.

it does not look like they have enough venting. I think venting is more critical then what fabric that is used.

90% polyester/10% spandex with panels on the side made out of a special wicking material. I assume it was made especially for keeping you warm when under heavy winds and adverse weather. Keep in mind I'm looking for a cold-weather insulator. What is usually the venting expected for this type of product? How can you tell it is inadequate?

I have the burley jacket and i can open/close the arm vents and chest vents depending on the weather. at 40 degrees and a heavypoly shirt I usualy sweat a little bit with the vents open. about that I need some unzipping. below that I don't know yet. but a jacket without conroable venting on a bike to me is a problem. breathabl fabric is good but i think venting is the mos important. not so much when jogging.

xeu,

I've purchased items from http://www.gitabike.com/cgi-bin/shop/sc_loadpagez.cgi?user_id=id&file=apparel.html

The prices are not much different and the clothing, including winter jackets, are designed for biking (pockets, reversed seams, etc).
