I didn't actually intend to buy a winter jacket this year, but it was irresistable....
Sizing: seems to be true to size - mine is a small (I'm a European size 36, not sure what that is in US sizing, 4 - 6?). It is quite fitted though - two thin layers, or a single woolly jumper fit under it quite nicely, but any more layers would be too much.
Colour: Beautiful apple green with reflective bits, they also come in black, blue and raspberry.
Fabric: Gore windstopper softshell. This stuff is really good. The first ride was at -3°C and my top half was toasty for the whole ride.
Other details: has great cuffs with thumb loops, an additional flap to pull down over your bottom and three zipped pockets.
I've used this jacket for a long ride and a few very cold commutes so far and it's great. It doesn't actually claim to be waterproof, but the rain didn't find its way in. It also got a lot of admiring comments from my colleagues.
