I use this for road cycling. I like that it blocks the wind very well and is breathable. The fit is excellent. I only knock it down a star because it doesn't have much insulation in the chest area, so a baselayer is practically required. Though, on the flip side, I have yet to feel the need to wear a vest with this, as I would with a normal thermal jersey. So I suppose that cancels out the need for a baselayer. I would suggest pairing this with either the short sleeve or the long sleeve Castelli Prosecco R, depending on how cold it is. I usually find the short sleeve to be fine. I wouldn't suggest a sleeveless, however. Lately it's been around 45 degrees in the mornings here, warming up to around 55-60 by 11, and this baselayer and jersey combination handles that range very well.
Ive had many great rainwind jackets in over 40 years of NW winter riding. The Elite has the best combination of rainwind protection and ventilation to keep me from cooking in my own sweat midway through a winter ride.
