is the endura a bit cooler or about the same? I sometimes find the phantom a bit too warm.

thanks

cheers drnick, i'll await your report!

Do they seem different warmnesses(!) just feeling them, and is there less windproof sections on the back and sleeves on the endura, or about the same? (not actually seen a windchill jacket yet just read the singletrack review)

the endura has a windproof front and sleeves which are not detachable and a roubaix back. really useful breast pocket for mp3 etc and 3 good rear pockets-really good relection too if that is important to you. i've just bought 2 off crc and look really good quality and not huge money unlike gores are now. - you don't really need windproof on the back. Nightriding tomoz so will let you know.

I've got both but found with the climate I always reached for the gore in case of rain

just been out on a chilly night ride in the endura. probably a bit cooler than the gore but really neat features- breast pocket with earphones hole, waterproof rear pocket.

so it depends what you want. If tou want the versatility of removable arms get the gore. if that doesnt bother you i'd get the endura

There's also the FS260 Pro Jetstream which looks along the same lines but should be cooler yet. I don't actually have one through so can't comment on it critically.
