I am looking for a winter jacket for the trails and commuting. I believe I have narrowed down the options between these two jackets: the Pearl Izumi Elite Barrier WxB Jacket and The North Face Bracket Jacket. I am also open to suggestions.
It looks like the Bracket Jacket would be more versatile for other things, such as wearing the jacket on a chilly day without biking; but I am purchasing the jacket mainly for biking purposes. I don't get cold too easily, but it looks like the Izumi might be warmer. However, it looks as if the North Face jacket would be more conducive to layering.
I appreciate any advice anyone could give on the subject.
