This been my primary jacket since ordering in Sep. 08. It is a great jacket--comfy, armor stays where it should, many vents and pockets and the quilted liner is good, in my experience, from about 50 degrees for long rides down to about 30 for short rides of around 30 minutes. I love how they color-coded the snaps and loops for the liner--very nice touch! I would call it a 3 season jacket because the rain liner (as already mentioned) doesn't allow good air flow to your skin. If Cortech had omitted the liner, I could probably get away with it even during our 100+ degree summers because the vents are so plentiful. As shipped, it is superb for fall, winter and spring riding here in OK, but if you live in a milder climate where summers don't regularly break 90f, you could probably use it year round.
