I have a Gore Pac-Lite jacket that I adore. I want one of those Passion Jackets, but as it is just a want and not a need (and you can't find Gore stuff in NZ that I know of), I'm saving my $$$. Zip off arms are great.
Anyway, my Gore jacket is a size small and I would say it is equivalent to an NZ size 10. Quite a fitting 10, but the jacket I have is designed to be quite fitting through the torso. In my experience, Aussie sizing is just a little more generous than Kiwi sizing, so maybe the small in this jacket would fit like a size 9 (which doesn't generally exist, I know) in Aussie.

Hi, I thought I'd post an update, in case anyone else is interested in this jacket...
I went ahead and bought it. I got an XS (I'm usually a S) and it fits really well - so it pays to look at the measurements rather than sizing.
Its super lightweight, looks great and has stood up to small showers so far (haven't had enough rain lately to test it out on big showers). Its really nicely breathable.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone who is considering it.
