Comments about GORE BIKE WEAR Phantom WINDSTOPPER Soft-Shell Convertible Bike Jacket - Men's:
I had been looking for a bike jacket for chilly mornings in Southern California, when I would ride my bike to commute to work. After viewing all the selection REI has, I had not been able to find anything I liked, until when I spotted this jacket made by GORE at my local REI store.
The one I bought was black. I had to go an extra size larger (L) that my normal size (M), since Ifound my normal size M was too tight. Size L fits me perfectly.
I think the black colored jacket is more proper for office settings versus the other types with more bright colors, if you are commuting to work like I do.
Too bad that I found REI discontinued the black colored ones at this time.
I only wish it could have some pockets on the sides. Other than that, I found the quality of the jacket is superb. 5 stars!

I love this jacket...except, when I sweat in it, it gets damp and doesnt seem to breathe as well as I thought a Gore product would.

Comments about GORE BIKE WEAR Phantom WINDSTOPPER Soft-Shell Convertible Bike Jacket - Men's:
This jacket fits very well. I can wear a thin undershirt, a lightweight jersey underneath perfectly without bulk or excess flapping fabric. I at 160 lb and 5-8. I really love the way it looks and wind stopper is a great fabric. I have ridden at 35 degrees and was comfortable.
Expensive but worth it in terms of look and functionality.

Comments about GORE BIKE WEAR Phantom WINDSTOPPER Soft-Shell Convertible Bike Jacket - Men's:
I've been using this jacket for a couple weeks now for both road and mountain biking and am incredibly satisfied with the product. Its construction is well-thought out and makes it versatile for a variety of temperatures.
Some of the highlights:
-You can easily remove and store the sleeves in the back pockets or just zip open the sleeve/armpit area slightly for additional breathability.
-Very breathable, helped by the fact that WINDSTOPPER fabric is only integrated where needed (i.e. not on the back of the jacket).
-Comfortable
-Lightweight
-Good looking
All in all I am very happy with the product and highly recommend it.
