The Gore Bike Wear Phantom III Lady Jacket is a welcomed addition to any serious biker's armamentarium of clothing options. The Windstopper Soft Shell technology protects your body from the chilling effects of wind, providing a comfortable outer layer for the widest range of weather conditions.
I found in the cold, the high collar effectively insulated my neck from wind chill. The fabric is water resistant and did a great job in light rain, high wind situations. At the same time, it allowed maximum breathability, and prevented overheating and perspiration build-up. The full-length zipper has a semi-lock slider, thus I was able to regulate my body temperature with precision by the zipper rise. As I warmed, I opened and locked the sleeve attachments to provide further venting. As I heated, I easily removed the outer sleeves and, unlike most other jackets, which convert to a vest, the Phantom III jacket converted to a Windstopper jersey. The remaining short sleeves are functional with elastic cuffs that kept them in place.
You can probably pick it up for about $150.00 so it's not entirely overpriced either!
