I bought this jacket in Neon Green and liked the jacket at first but am not kind of regretting getting this heavy of a jacket for daily commuting. It works keeps me warm on the colder days but if it's 50+ it's like I'm wearing a portable sauna. Again, this jacket isn't bad, but isn't as lightweight and breathable for my liking. Would be an excellent jacket for skiing on the mountain :-)The front vents help a little bit with breathability but with there was something on the back like the elite 2.1.

Another issue I'm having is keeping the neon green clean. The first day wearing it, I rode over the hawthorne bridge and got splashed by a truck and got my whole left side covered in sludgy gutter water. I cannot get the black smudges off my coat so my coat always looks like it's been rubbed around in a tar pit.

I do like this jacket but wish I would have gotten the elite 2.1 in a black or red.
