You often see convertible jackets morph from a jacket to a vest, but Gore has a new twist on this idea with the Phantom Jacket with Detachable Sleeves. Zip off the raglan sleeves of this Windstopper Soft Shell and reveal a short sleeve jersey! Perfect for thermal regulation, this jacket also features reflective piping and logos, pre-shaped elbows, and 3 back angled pockets.
FIT NOTE:: Customer feedbackindicates that this garment is running a bit small in the chest. Please check the sizing chart; if you are between sizes, you might consider ordering the larger size.

Susan says: "I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review of the Phantom Jacket! Maybe it's because I'm spending so much time RIDING in it that I haven't had time to write the review.
I love this jacket. It's one of the most versatile items in my closet. Just this weekend, for example, it was the only jacket I used on a ride that featured sun, scattered showers, morning temps in the low 30s, afternoon temps in the 60s, and everything in between.
In the coldest temps, the jacket keeps me quite warm with all the zippers closed. As it warms, I usually partially unzip the sleeves and create pit vents that allow air to flow better and keep my core at the right temps. Eventually I pull off the sleeves and stuff them into the back pockets. Having three easily-accessible, open back pockets to stuff the sleeves into, along with all the other junk I carry, is so convenient on a long ride."
NOTE: This jacket is constructed with waterproof materials. However, the inside seams are not taped so we do not classify this jacket as fully waterproof. For example, under steady rain conditions, wearers may find water entering the garment via the untaped seams.
WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shells offer total windproofness and maximum breathability, combining the comfort of a soft mid-layer and the water resistance of a shell in one garment. WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shells keep you comfortable with the freedom of movement you need for enhanced performance in a wide range of activities and weather conditions.
