Gore Bike Wear Men's Xenon 2.0 As Jacket, Large, Black Review

Great, versatile jacket that weighs close to nothing, packs into a jersey pocket easily, but absolutely stops wind in its tracks.

Fit:
According to GBW charts, I am sized at a medium. I also purchased a large as well to see which would fit me best. Most (if not all) GBW clothes are optimized for the cycling position. While standing straight, the jacket may feel tight across the shoulders and/or chest. But hunch over, extend the arms as if in a cycling position and the tightness should go away. This is normal, and I think the fit should be evaluated in this position.

The jacket is intended to be a slim fitting jacket, meaning it should be snug and allows a little bit of layering room (unlike the comfortable fit jackets, like the Phantom, which allows me to layer a lot more). I tried the medium and large with various jerseys and layers to evaluate which would be the most comfortable with the most combinations. In the end, I chose the suggested medium. While it was very snug with a baselayer and thermal jersey while standing, it was comfortable in the cycling position, and I appreciated the streamlined fit (i.e., not a lot of excess material flapping in the wind making me look like a parachute). When worn with just a summer jersey, the medium really felt right relative to the large as that felt too loose.

Performance:
As the title suggests, this is a really effective windbreaker! I was able to wear it on two rides recently, one with a thermal jersey (~50-60F) and another time with a summer jersey (~60-70F). On both rides, I absolutely felt no wind coming through the jacket. Given the +10F rise in temps, I thought I would take the jacket off later in the ride due to overheating on both rides. But the jacket did a good job of breathing and regulating my temperature. So while I was getting warm towards the end of the ride, I never really did feel like I needed to take it off. While grinding up hills, I did however wish they had arm zips like their Xenon 2.0 SO Jacket, but that would just have added weight and volume, taking away from the jacket's intention IMO.

Summary:
Great jacket that can be used in spring and in fall. It's great for long rides where the temps change over time and you need/want to take the jacket off and stow it. It's highly packable and easily fits in a jersey pocket or bike bag. But you may find you just don't need to because it breathes so well.
