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.
