Hi, does anyone have the above jacket and can comment on what sort of temperature you use it?

I'm not wanting something that will be too warm.

For reference I use a Gore Phantom Infineum up to around 8c - 10c but after that it gets too hot

Definitely not a warm jacket. Thinner than a microfleece but more windproof. I find the sleeves a bit tight at the lower arms so don't tend to wear a long sleeve under it.

OK, thanks, sounds like it might be OK for what I want.

Are they true to size? I.e is a large a large? (from your comments about the sleeve)

Aye the sleeves are pretty skinny but I can get a long sleeve base layer under mine fine. Add in a short sleeve mid layer and it's good for coldish days.

The sleeves are a good length though - but another inch longer in the body would improve it (I wear a medium and I'm 6ft 2 & 11.5st)

Sleeves are skinny as said.
I'm 5'11" reasonable build (not fat) and have a large which fits really well.
I used mine in the cold weather we had throughout the winter. But i run hot, would say if you run cool then it will be great for windy days at about 10°
