      Comments about GORE BIKE WEAR Contest WINDSTOPPER Soft-Shell Bike Jacket - Women's:

      This jacket keeps the wind out and fits well under a rain jacket. Looks stylish and works best for averadge body type.Feel comfortable too while the fabric is somewhat elastic. The sleeves are a bit short but they stay down when you put your thumb trough the hole made for it. If you have thick forarms, you might have hard times fitting another layer under this jacket. If you have long torso, you might be revieling your lower back when riding low even though its designed so that the back goes lower. And for the ladies that have a small waist, the belly part doesn´t feel too snug but you can always use that hanging fabrick in the belly area as an extra pocket ;)

      Comments about GORE BIKE WEAR Contest WINDSTOPPER Soft-Shell Bike Jacket - Women's:

      I LOVE this jacket. I've only had it for a couple of months but I just can't get over how amazing it is!
      I've been on the lookout for something warm that also stops the wind well on colder rides. But I also wanted something that looked nice and could be used on a day to day basis. This fits the bill for me. It is SUPER toasty and looks fantastic!
      The only "complaint" I have about the design is there are no side pockets to put your hands in. (There is one in the back for keys and such but I tend to be a hands in the pockets kinda gal.) It wasn't enough of a draw back to keep me from buying it, though. I would totally make the purchase again too.

      • Chest Size:
      • Feels true to size
      • Sleeve Length:
      • Feels true to length
      • Was this a gift?:
      • No

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about GORE BIKE WEAR Contest WINDSTOPPER Soft-Shell Bike Jacket - Women's:

        This jacket is perfect for cold weather runs and bike rides. So far I have worn it in weather as cold as 37 degrees and been fine - even biking in the wind. I am VERY cold by nature so I love this jacket. My husband drove by me and said the reflective areas lit up like a Christmas tree. This was a perfect gift from my mom to enable me to keep exercising in the winter. LOVE IT!!
