is anyone using one of these for trail riding at all?
is it any good?
i have been offered a brand new one at a good price, reading the blurb it says it is a roadie jacket,
the reviews look good for waterproofness and breathability.
wondering if anyone is using one for trail riding and is it ok?
also worth sizing up at all ?
thanks for replys.
I've got one but use it mainly for road riding.
I have used it for a few MTB rides but it's quite a roadie specific cut and much better suited to the stretched out position on a road bike (slim fit, high fronted at the waist, long tail at the back and long sleeves).
If it was a great deal I might be tempted but there are jackets in the Gore range that are much more suited to MTB.
Sizing is slim, I usually take a medium and do wear a medium in the Oxygen jacket but it's tight and I wouldn't be able to fit much under it in terms of layers
As mauja says - it's a very, very slim/long cut jacket. Mine doesn't fit around the chest unless I'm leaning over the road bike.
The Fusion GT AS is much more appropriate for MTB.
thanks for the reply,
thought that would pretty much be the case, just wanted a real view.
much appreciated.
