Review from Bikeradar
If you've never had a Gore Bike Wear softshell jacket, live on beans and toast for a few weeks and then treat yourself to a Phantom. This is a must-have jacket if you love to ride no matter what the weather.
The Phantom jacket takes the impeccable Gore pedigree and adds a great twist - zip off arms. The sleeves unzip to reveal short (non-windproof) sleeves underneath, creating a great milder weather or harder riding top. Partially unzipping them works as effective venting too, giving this jacket an amazingly wide operating range.
There's plenty to love about Gore Bike Wear's Soft Shell N2S Windstopper fabric. It's light, quiet to wear and warm when it has to be. It boasts low sweat levels and it's quick drying. The Phantom nurtures this love with its zip-off arms, which reveal two lightweight, black quarter sleeves.
The full-length front zip has a baffle underneath, the collar stands up to keep a seal around the neck, and there are triple rear pockets to satisfy the cycling jersey requirements.
The multi-panel cut with stretchy back panels means a snug fit for efficient wicking on the back, too. Add some reflective detailing on the arms and you have a jacket-cum-jersey that'll see you through at least three seasons of the year.
Occasionally we found ourselves zipping an arm to the wrong side. Maybe Gore should add an 'L' and 'R' on the inside of the sleeve tops.
In conclusion...
Superb quality and performance help to justify the price

Just right
Unfortunately medium is too small and large just a bit loose. I went for the latter and luckily it does not flap unless I am going faster than 45Kmh.
It's a good quality item, the wind proof part is quite extensive covering the majority of the sleeves and a good part of the back. The yellow is safe without being too dorky. The back venting panel works well, but if you wear a backpack you will get hot much faster. I have worn it in 3 to 10c temperatures with just a base layer and it has been perfect. The sleeves are long, but the elastics at the wrists are a bit too wide. Overall I am very happy with the results it delivers.

The picture doesnt do it justice
It looks even better on. It is the perfect thing to wear on a dubious weather day. The red is a good compromise of visibility if hi-vis isn't your thing and the reflective parts are also very well positioned. When I take the arms off I stuff them in two of the 3 rear pockets and Overall a great top/jacket and the whole thing smacks of quality too. This has definitely set the standard for me.

great jacket
This is a really great jacket! I am yet to try it in a really cold weather but it works really great in 10-15 degrees C and it even gets a bit hot on the far end of this temp. range. The things I love about this jacket is the feel to it, which is great: it is very soft and it fits to the body really well. Now I can't stress enough what a great idea it is to have detachable sleeves. For me it makes all the difference... I couldn't wear it in the above mentioned temp. range if it wasn't for this feature.
Of course there's no need to mention the wind stopping capabilities of this jacket. You can be in a storm with really strong winds and feel nothing apart from the pressure generated by the wind.
Overall I love this jacket and I wear it wherever I go.. even if it gets cold in the office i put it on. It looks great, feels great and performs great. The only nitpick I found is the weight.. It is a bit heavy for the ppl who are searching for ultimate light gear, for others - you probably won't even notice it..

GORE PHANTOM II
Bite the bullet, save the cash and buy it. It does seem expensive but it really does the job. I've worn this in temperatures in single figures with just a T underneath with no problem, while on the move. Take off the arms on a warmer day and you have a well fitted gilet. It performs very well in heavy rain and after that muddy ride it is machine washable and dries overnight. Excellent piece of kit. Save the pennies. You know you deserve it.

I'm deliberating getting a jacket that is both waterproof and windproof. while I know it says it's got windstopper technology woven into it, I was wondering if the product is waterproof as well?
3 years, 3 months ago
Answers
Answer:
I have worn it whilst riding in moderate rain (I live in Scotland so my moderate may be your heavy!!) and it kept me dry. It wouldn't go banking on it being absolutely waterproof though, I wouldn't imagine it would hold up in a prolonged heavy downpourAnswer:
I didn't get mine to be waterproof - more for the wind. But actually it does a great job in the wet too.2 years, 1 month ago
Answer:
You can get completely waterproof stuff but you'll cook yourself. This results in you getting wet from the inside out and it won't evaporate. The best you can hope for is something that breaths and keeps you warm if you do get wet. This jacket deals with light rain and drizzle very well. If it gets heavier than that it will at least keep you warm2 years, 2 months ago

It's fine in light showers the water beads off. If you are knowingly going out in a downpour take a complete waterproofCountry : United Kingdom
Answer:
It is not waterproof, but does resist water a little bit, it really isn't it's purpose, though. However, I wouldn't recommend you buying a jacket that's windproof and waterproof, because the breathability is usually much worse than the ones that are just windproof.2 years, 6 months ago

This is waterproof, the labels all over it state it, however the product name doesn't give you that info. Is definitely waterproof, but more breathable than those that will keep you dry under a waterfallCountry : United Kingdom

Answer:
I bought the medium and my chest is 100cm, waist 33cm, 181cm (5' 11") tall. The medium is just about right for me though I would probably prefer if it were a little bit smaller to be honest (as I like my gear to be snug). There appears to be 3 or 4cm to spare on the chest. I had orginally bought the L but it was way too big. It's hard to say for sure but the medium may well be too big for you. I hope this helps.Country : Australia

Sizing appears generous and the jacket has a loose fit. I probably should have ordered a smaller size.Answer:
The Jacket is quite fitted so I would go for the bigger of the two sizes
Answer:
I think you would be best in a medium if you want a race fit. If you need room for layers or if you prefer a baggier fit, the Large would be best.1 year, 11 months ago

You could wear it without as it does have small sleaves inside the main jacket but I would suggest wearing something for extra comfortCountry : United Kingdom
Answer:
You would need a base layer underneath. The jacket isn't lined and the seams where the panels are sewn together would rub.1 year, 11 months ago
Answer:
Hi, yes it would. I believe it is part of Gore's N2S range, Next to Skin. So far I have only used mine in the winter (bought recently) so I have used base layers underneath, but the inside fabric is soft and feels comfortable.That said, an ultra-lite base layer would probably improve the sweat management of your clothing system.

Answer:
I live in Melbourne and it has been perfect in these last few weeks of cold weather with 6am starts. I wear it with just a base layer. The inside is not fleeced, but I think it soft enough to wear without another layer underneath when it gets warmer.Answer:
I tend to wear a baselayer (standard wicking top non-cycling under it). However I have worn it without and is fine it has a breathable back panel which helps with sweat.It is like a thicker than normal cycling jersey that can be worn on its own or as a jacket. I find it really versatile especially with dubious English weather.

Answer:
doubt it,its a windproof not a water proof I carry a rain jacket with it in case of rain,also it cost soo much id hate to stuff it into a ballCountry : Irish Republic
Answer:
No. It's fairly bulky because it's a windproof not a waterproof. Having said that it still offers water-resistance which I've found to be good.If you want something that will pack down that small then buy a small cag in a bag, or an emergency poncho.
The jacket does have zip off arms, so what you could do on a warmer day is wear the jacket and zip them off. You probably wouldn't need more than a t-shirt underneath because it offers warmth through the windproofing. You could then put the sleeves in the pockets on the back of the jacket if you needed them in the event of rain. Or just get wet arms?

Not really. The arms will come off and go into a pocket. The jacket itself is Windproof but has no real insulation or thickness.

I'm not a runner myself but I would say you could run in this jacket. I've cycled in it for hours but running has a lot more movement of the arms so I can't say if it would become cumbersome or not. Good luck.Country : Australia
1 year, 5 months ago
Answer:
Yes there would be nothing stopping you from using it for running.It depends what sort of running though?
If you're just a casual runner i.e. not racing, and doing it for a bit of fitness in addition to cycling then yeah no problem.
If you're looking at marathon distances you might want to consider a lighter jacket.
I live with two marathon runners and they use waterproof shells which are much lighter. As this is a softshell windproof jacket this means it's heavier and would start to weigh you down.
Answer:
It may be a little heavy for running but I'd give it a go.1 year, 10 months ago
Answer:
You can and I have. It can get quite hot quite quickly though. The problem is if you put things in the rear pockets they can bounce out, especially from the middle pocket. There is no internal pocket either so if you are going to run with it you need another way of carrying your phone, wallet etc.Country : United Kingdom
