Looks like Gore Bike Wear has finally gotten the message about hi-viz clothing, and will be offering 2 of their winter jackets in neon yellow (hey, it's a start, right?):

I'm currently chomping at the bit for these to be offered for sale, despite the fact that it's July and 95+ degrees out there. For those of you who own either the Phantom or the Contest, how's the sizing? I'm wary of the seemingly-small bust measurements on Gore's size chart.
Susan, if you're listening, will TE be carrying these products this fall?

The Pearl Izumi Convertible Barrier jacket that TE carries is getting tremendous reviews. Neon yellow/green and apparently one does not feel soaking wet in it. Not sure how the Gore Wear breathes...

Yup, I have it, love it and would buy it again. But it's not insulated, so it's insufficient for me in the colder months.

I'd just wear a couple-three layers of wool rather than buy a new jacket ...

Thanks, Sheila. I sorta recall that you and I are of similar build, so this is very helpful information.

More good info- thanks! Fortunately, GBW products are fairly easy to find around here, so I hope to be able to try on both the Phantom and the Contest, even if I ultimately need to order the high-viz color.

I wrote a staff review for this jacket. I love love love it. Lightweight, uberpackable, great wind resistance (yet breathable!), easy zip off sleeves... It's coming on PBP with me.

Yellow Jacket
I bought one of the Gore yellow winter jackets last winter from TE after I'd just about frozen on a windy ride. The jacket is great!! Pricy, but worth every dime. The sleeves detatch and the jacket converts to short sleeve. I think you will like it.
