Bowtex Elite V2 shirt - seeking input

Looking for input from people that own this gear. Having a challenging time finding a AAA rated top/jacket for street riding/commuting and road trips to the twisties. I am fairly lean and muscular (5’11”/195lb) so finding gear that fits my shape can be a bit of an issue. Have a few specific questions, but general helpful input from people that have worn this gear is appreciated.

1.) how well does it breathe, and how easy is it to clean? I live in a very hot place and would be wearing it daily.

2.) how much give is in the material? It seems like it should be a snug fit, and there are no points of adjustment.

3.) could it be packed up into a fairly small profile? Ideally, I would wear it over a light T-shirt with maybe a riding jersey over top for increased visibility and Sun deflection, and take it off at my destination to put it in my backpack or a tail bag.

4.) how comfortable is it? My weekend adventures are a few hours each way.

5.) would you recommend it, and what are your opinions on its cost/value?

Thank you!
