The lame thing about some waterproof, windproof jackets is that they feel cardboardy, they donat breathe much, and they donat fit in your one-small-pocket hydration-pack. The GORE Bike Wear Oxygen Jacket is different.
Strengths: Waterproof
Race fit
Long sleeves to fit over gloves
Nice design
Long tail for extra protection
Weaknesses: Race fit (XXL just barely fits)
No pockets at all
A bit short on the front
Bottom Line:
Good Gore-Tex Paclite shell for commuting in rainy weather. Fits into included stuff sack. This will be my go-to jacket for packable, waterproof protection.
Gore Oxygen Jacket 50% off, $115, reg $230. Use promo code OXY50 on final checkout page. Expires 1am CST.
