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.

It all depends on the time of year. It will provide good protection from 73 degree (Fahrenheit) water and up.

I don't think so. The general consensus (with which I agree) is that this is actually more of a 40 degree bag. You may have to undress a bit for warmer nights but you should be good.

I think it should be fine. Mine is sturdy and is a great bike for the price. Have had no issues in the first year.

It seems solid in terms of being able to withstand running in bad weather. I haven't tried it in the rain, but it looks like it would be fine.

as long as it does not get below -40. wind chill has nothing to do with it.

Having used this pack in the Army, I would recommended getting the frame. 40lbs should feel OK but the heavier you go you'll want more padding.

I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill. Without wind, keeping lightly active (walking my dogs), wearing layers beneath it, and staying out of the direct wind, I have been kept comfortably warm. If you are more active (skiing or snowshoeing) you should stay quite warm. The jacket does not block wind very well, so if you are in windy conditions I do not think it would be enough unless you wore some sort of windbreaker over it, but I'm not sure about trying to fit it under something else. I have worn a thick wool sweater under it without any problems.

Do yourself a favor and go for the 4d style. Way nicer. But I have no doubt it would hold up to hot summers. I live in oklahoma and my bike is black and it's great.

If you like it to rest at a 45° then you'll want to purchase the support bars in addition to this. Hope that helps.

It holds up very nicely. I live in Nor Cal where our temps reach triple degrees during peak summer months.

I have mine outside in the elements and it survived our Michigan winter with 50mph wind gusts and -20 temps. It will probably get me thru one more season. If you want a cover that lasts many seasons you will pay three times or more than what this cover costs.

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

Agree with previous responses. Low to mid 40 degrees Fahrenheit is about the lowest I would go without a bivy cover.

This is my first winter and, so far, the cover is holding up well. However, I live in Northern California and the temperatures are relatively mild.

It is well made and fairly substantial material that should hold up to hot dry climates. It should do well I think.

its the best hot weather jacket I've used. I rode in San Antonio and it kept me relatively cool even in 100F temps.
