Like the castelli prefetto convertible - but for women.
As far as I can see they only make the prefetto jacket in woman's (we have one here already- we made that mistake already)
Looking for a jacket with removable sleeves. Doesn't need to be waterproof just softshell windproof.
Bonus points if it's not black or pink and availible to fit a 10.
Historically it was an endura covert II woman's jacket but this has completely worn out but proven it's self to be a much better concept than armwarmers for its intended use.
I see very little availible and none of it in a medium/10 barring sugoi which looks to have the fit of a bin liner and reviews to match
Not sure about the one you mentioned but gore phantom is a very good softshell with removable sleeves and you can often pick them up at reasonable prices they do none black and pink ladies colours too
Good spy that's a contender.
Bit odd that it becomes a short sleeve Jersey rather than a a gilet but I shall put it forward.
Yeah the sleeve bits are a thin material but they can be tucked out the way which is what i normally do

You could just cut the sleeve bits off....
There's mens and womens options included in their 20% off 3 clothing items promo, which you should be able to stack with things like a British Cycling discount voucher.

Turns them sleeveless, unlike my PX Magma, which I so wish I bought more of when they were £35 a few years back.
That Boardman womans one looks good. Meets the brief.
Limited options on these these days.
I've got done altura transformer jackets, they are really good. Converts to a t shirt not a gillet. I don't use anything under it unless it's cold.
Mrs_oab loves her 'pertex-like' Pearl Izumi Elite Escape Convertible.
Add in a 2XU running vest and various thicknesses of baselayer, and she is good to go for all sorts of conditions.
I know it's not the 'one layer' solution, but everything is easily stowed in a pocket or bar bag.
