Picked up a great off season jersey today; a Mavic Viz + Vision Jersey.  Really well thought out jersey for low light use.  (Pacific northwest for the next few months.)  Bright orange with big reflecting silver stripes.  It is a short sleeve jersey, not intended to be warm but heavy enough that it can handle the loaded pockets of winter riding.  Details are well thought out.  Great pockets.  Excellent full length zipper that pulls easily with long fingered gloves.

This jersey feels close to the quality of the Hincapie jersey I purchased two years ago although it is more of a traditional jersey in cut and style.  (I never would have purchased anything Hincapie except I got to a ride and discovered I didn't bring a jersey.  To climb a few thousand feet fixed, then ride down?  I want one!  So I pulled into the town to the only bike store and shelled out the bill for that Hincapie.)  I took the new jersey for a ride today over just my usual tank top and a light long sleeve thermal top.  (It just got winter warm here yesterday, mid 50s F.)  Felt great and felt like it will do nicely with several more layers under.  Everything felt right riding.  I had just my usual, small multitool, keys, wallet and cellphone plus a light Showers Pass jacket in the center pocket.  Didn't notice them once the whole ride.  I could have put far more in the pockets and ridden many hours longer with pleasure.

I picked it up for a winter close out steal but the $100 full price could even be justified.  I am going to go back and see if they have another.

Mavic clothing now shows on my radar.
