New Gore Softshell 2.0 Cycling Jacket – $50

What’s the fit like? Leaning slimmer or more “American”? I need a new winter jacket but I’ve never owned Gore tops before, only tights.

I have the women’s version of that jacket and I had to size up because the forearms were so tight I have spindly cyclist arms. Great jacket though!

I have what I think is the same model (might be a different model year) in a S, and it fits well. It’s maybe between a full Euro and American fit… leaning towards Euro. I’m sure that helps.

I also have a Gore Bike Wear Oxygen rain jacket which is designed to be a tight fit, in a M, that also fits right. This one is definitely Euro.

(These are two of my favourite jackets actually.)

What Will said….

Both my Gore tops (l/s jersey and jacket) are XL, which is the same that I wear in PI and Sugoi, but the fit is a bit slimmer, but obviously not so much that it required sizing up. I actually really love the way my jacket (Contest Windstopper) fits and it has been my go-to outer layer since I picked it up a couple months ago.

Oh what the hell, OP’s got a private message…
