Looking for feedback on cold weather cycling jackets

[nscrbug]

So the Gore Phantom SO (women's) jacket arrived at my doorstep today. I ordered it in a size XL. It was supposed to be an early birthday gift to me from my DH. Well...my excitement didn't last very long upon trying it on. Infact, I already have it packaged back up and ready to be dropped off at the UPS store tomorrow. Aside from feeling extremely short-waisted, especially in front...it felt snug overall. The only thing I liked about it, was the length of the sleeves were perfect for me. I'm so disappointed. Really thought I had found THE jacket. I am seriously thinking about looking into the men's Gore jackets, simply because they are longer and offer more room for layering. I tried on a men's Gore Tool SO jacket at my local Performance shop, and I liked it well enough and would have bought it had it not been red (I really want neon yellow). I can order it in neon yellow online, but it is a darn pricey jacket at $200. I'll have to see if DH gives me the "ok" first.

That is a bummer. At least the weather is nice these days... tomorrow might be shorts and short sleeves weather.

Reviving this thread for an update: the Gore Phantom SO jacket for women will get more reflective stuff next Fall/Winter season (from an answer from their customer support).

Well, since this thread was revived...I guess now would be a good time to say a few things about my Gore SO Tool jacket that I received over 3 weeks ago. First off, it IS a men's jacket...so the styling and/or fit may not suit some women. Some of the things that I like about this jacket include - the pit zips for ventilation (a HUGE plus!!!), the 3 large rear pockets (big enough to stuff my bulkier gloves in, when the temps rise and I switch out to lightweight gloves), the longer length that covers my butt (I found most women's jackets to be short-waisted), the adjustable cinch-style neck opening, the Windstopper material (it really does work). There is really only 1 thing that I don't like - and that is I wish this jacket were made for women in a feminine cut. Because it is available only as a men's design, the cut is not very flattering (a bit boxy). I wish it had more shape to it, but then again most men are straight and boxy shaped...which would account for the boxy shape of the jacket. Other than that, it's a fantastic cold-weather cycling jacket that I would not hesitate to recommend to both men and women.
