I will be biking in 40-55 degree weather, how will this hold up?

I use this jacket in anything from 20-60 temps. I just add more layers underneath as necessary. For very cold rides, I use a couple of extra layers around my core (a-shirt, then a t-shirt) with a long-sleeve base layer and a long-sleeve fleece. The trick is to do the layering in a way that doesn't add too much bulk - especially in the arms. Otherwise, you'd need to buy a size up and then it'd be too flappy when you're using it in 60 weather. If money were no object, I'd buy a specialty jacket for really cold weather, but I can make this one work pretty well as long as I'm riding hard enough to generate some warmth. I wear a size medium in most of my shirts (5'8" 140lbs) and I'm happy that I bought a size small in this jacket. Fits close with just enough room for a thin fleece layer underneath. It's probably not 100% windproof (and definitely not waterproof) but it makes a good outer layer and cuts most of the wind.

I'd say the coat is perfect for those temps. It will keep you warm without being too hot. I'd use a good, breathable under layer too.

I live in the Houston, TX area so I can't comment on how well it holds up to cold but mine have been through a lot of rain with no problem. gary

Not to heavy. Warm enough to wear in 40 degree weather, but not in snow. Not as heavy as a "snow coat". Packs well for trips.

It will hold up just fine if you secure it properly, if the wind whips up underneath and/or is moves it will not hold up - but neither will any other cover at this price point.

I only use it for cycling... I guess if its really cold, but I would look at just underarmour

The vents provide enough air for me. I ride a couple times a week in central Florida. Unless you are really sensitive to heat I think this would be ok.

I received this bike just before weather turned cold. I haven't ridden it much so can't answer your question, sorry.

I just rode for about 25-30 miles in a steady rain and it held up fine. Other than that I haven't ridden with it in the rain much

It will hold up but 55L might be too small for you one month trip maybe a 65L since the 55 is small.

Although I have this bag, I use mine as a lightweight spring/summer/fall bag. That said my guess is that you should get at least 20/25 degrees.

I would say no. I wore them motorcycling at +40°F 55mph, the wind felt like it was going right through them. Glad I tested them out before it really gets cold, I need to find a nice pair so I can keep cycling until it snows.

Used ours for an extended trip recently. It held up fine to all weather including rain and hail.

If it is cold I would buy XXL so you can layer. The trousers are designed for the US cruiser rider and there is fabric on the inside of the shins. Rain will get into your lower legs and run into your boots on a long ride. I suppose that is better than burnt plastic. In warm weather the gear is very hot but I only wear it on short rides.

Well, I do have a tarp over my bikes with clamps to hold tarp over it, I have had it outdoors for 2 years, out in the elements for the Falls (months of rain), Winters (snow), hot summers 80-100 degrees on my concrete porch. No problems. But it is nice enough with the smooth coated surface to look nice indoors, too. Hope this answers your question, and helps you out

As far as cross country is concerned, it's a very tough bike. and is well built. As far as bags are concerned,there is a ten pound limit, but as far as overheating, you shouldn't have any problems. The only problem I've had is with getting water on any electrical part, but it must be pretty hard rain or from a hose.

It was only about 55 degrees when I used it and it was fine. I'm not sure about really cold weather.

I used it during the winter just going in and out at about 45 degrees. It is made of basically a heavy sweatshirt material.
