The Sportive is mesh lined which feels nicer next to the skin than the waterproof fabric does if it is in direct contact, making it a more comfortable choice during wet warmer months. The fit is really neat, with good sleeve length and the fold away tail is great. This jacket will keep you dry all day, and is designed for action, it is also the perfect commuters jacket, it is smart and stows away into it's own pocket with a belt. Order to fit, you do not need to size up to allow for layers. An XS is an 8. Small 10, Medium 12 etc.
