FS: Specialized full-zip, extra-light wind shell, circa 2024, with stand-up collar and hood: $50 shipped CONUS

[Patrick Moore]

This is a rather nice and minimalist shell that is very useful for early morning departures and warmer returns, and cool rides when the wind is high, at least here in ABQ, NM where 40* differentials are not rare and 30*s is routine.

Hood, high stand-up collar even with hood down.

20” pit-to-pit, 28” from bottom of collar seam to bottom of hem at rear. Sleeves are amply long for a stretched out hoods or drops position.

Well elasticized cuffs and hem.

Reflective piping at bottom of hem all-around, and the Specialized “S” is also reflective.

It has 1 zipped, chest pocket, but that is a roomy one.

NOTE! I sewed the zipper closed for about 25-30 mm at the bottom of its travel so that when I plunk my iPhone into the pocket it doesn’t immediately tip out and fall onto the pavement. The opening has more than ample room to get anything reasonable into the pocket; consider that a man’s fist will still easily fit into the opening.

It’s long and comfortably and properly cycling snug on me at 5’11” with Asian torso that would have me at over 6’2” if I had Anglo legs (not kidding; watch me sit next to a 6’2” Scandinavian).

It’s in as-new condition, but let’s say Very Good to be very conservative about it. No fraying or other signs of wear at neck and cuffs and hem, and no discoloration anywhere.

I paid about $150 for this IIRC, but I got ~3 cool seasons of occasional riding use out of it.

Shell and shipping via USPS Ground is $52 gross to me via Paypal — the $2 covers the PP fee.

Reason for selling: Someone gave me an ever nicer Patagonia shell in a color that is not black.

Please reply offlist.
