Gore does it again. Yes, it’s expensive, but simply nothing feels so incredibly light, while stopping the wind and rain completely and preventing sweat build up. Personally I like a loose fitting jacket so I went for the large size and I am a skinny 38 chest and 33 waist. It does feel a little baggy and long in the arm (I have short arms anyway) but the benefits of being able to fit a thin fleece underneath and not feeling restricted outweigh the aesthetics - not that it looks ridiculously big on me. My only small complaint is the colour range. My last jacket was orange and I much prefer that colour, unavailable here. Though my wife says this is much more visible so it’s probably just as well.

Great price for a true Gore-tex rain jacket. I bought this for occasional outdoor wear, hiking, on vacation, etc., not just for cycling. I comfortably wear 2XL dress and casual shirts. The XXL rain jacket fit more like an XL shirt; still wearable but definitely proportioned for people who are trim around the midsection. Like any good cycling jacket, the sleeves and back are extra long, which is OK even when you're not riding. As others have noted, ventilation is minimal, so wearing this on hot, rainy days would be unpleasant.I wore the jacket in the rain and in the shower. OK, not *really* in the shower, but it kept me dry in the constant spray when we visited Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

I got the xxl as I never find decent cycle clothing that fits my frame. I am 5'8" with 36" waist and 44-45" chest. The jacket fits well and has room for other garments underneath. The sleeves are long as I am short and tubby, they do though have adjustable fasters so can be tucked up above my gloves. I wore this jacket over a base layer only at 8c in the rain for 2hrs. It was warm enough without even having a jacket underneath. There was a small amount of dampness from perspiration inside afterwards which i would expect but nothing like the plastic jackets. Where sweat dripped out of my cuffs. You get what you pay for and this is worth the investment.

Bought this as fed up of getting wet!!! and reviews of the C3 were all positiveUnfortunately the sizing seems odd, as with most cyclists clothing manufacturers the range of sizing can differ between them and Gore are no different - I wear an XL in Rapha/Castrelli and Large or even Medium in most others. I found the large in this jacket to be just about right in the arm length and across the shoulders but lots of room at the chest and below - I would be concerned to order a medium without trying on as I suspect shoulders would be too tight.I would class myself as average build for a 6" fairly regular cyclist!!!

Finally splurged on a Goretex jacket and it’s made a big difference from the glorified garbage bags. Been in a couple of rain showers so far and come out dry, a bit warm but not soaking in sweat. Fit is good. Not slim fit, but not too baggy either. I’m about a 41R and the large was a perfect fit. I usually just wear a base later underneath but I could probably do a light fleece as well if needed. Sleeves aren’t too long, I’m about a 32/33”, and the wrist Velcro closures aren’t too constricting. Time will tell, but so far happy with the purchase.

This feels like a quality item. I tried a large and medium, and found those sizes to be comparable in fit to outdoor jackets from other well known manufacturers - in other words the sizes seem fairly standard. Material is fairly soft/flexible compared to other goretex jackets that I own.For a cycling jacket it has minimal reflective areas, which is perhaps less than desirable. This is a jacket from the ‘C’ range/style which I presume refers to cycling. There is also an ‘R’ style which is perhaps for running? The listing isn’t clear.

So, a little confused by previous reviewers' comments about sizing... I generally take a Large in most other brands, so I, er, got a Large. And it fitted fine, a little loose (as expected - didn't want "figure hugging thank you), great across the shoulders and with ample length on the arms for a 6'1" bloke.Can't comment on performance yet as haven't tested it, but that doesn't seem to be in question with this garment.Very happy with the price too....

This is a great bike jacket. I wanted a higher quality jacket that would offer both wind protection as well as being waterproof and breathable. The Gore product lives up to the quality of all the products they manufacture. You get what you pay for with Gore. I have another rain jacket I use for travel that is packable and has Goretex lining and it is totally waterproof. The fit and feel of this jacket met all my expectations.

I bought this jacket for my husband at Christmas time and although he has been wearing it he felt that the recent weather has been a real test of its quality. He commutes on his bicycle ten miles each way daily and this coat has kept him completely dry during these awful storms. On really cold days he needs a thin jumper underneath but it is an excellent buy.

I used this jacket hard on a cross country bike ride (Southern Tier). It held up well but the zipper has recently failed. There is really no way that I could see to effectively replace it since it is glued and not sewn. Hence I just bought another one. The jacket itself is excellent. The zipper design is poor in my opinion.

This jacket has been great for all my cold weather rides. I stayed comfortably warm in this over my 26F degree ride the other day. Of course i had a couple layers on under it, however, it was an excellent wind-breaker. It also folds up well and is easy to pack away.

Rain bounces right off this jacket. It is a little short up front (2xl), but I do have a bit of a beer gut. As I encounter often as a slim upper body but a big belly, many high-end gear doesn’t fit right. I’m 5’10, 240 (all gut), I recommend 2xl

Great jacket, good quality/material, great features. I bought this for cold weather running here in AZ (low 40's/hi 30's). Unfortunately I over heat in it, its that good. Great insulation, waterproofing, etc. Highly recommend for colder climes.

very pleased with fabric on this unit drapes well fits well..have worn in coastal rain and wind to great satisfactionit is odd however that the zipper is reversed and while labeled and sold as mens i wonder if their was a production issue

Runs very small. Usually wear men’s L or XL. Ordered this in XXL to have room for under layer, but only allows room for a single dry fit shirt. Seems to be nice and breathable. Haven’t used it in rain yet. Wish it had fron pockets.
