Looking for a single layer type winter riding jacket, similar to Rab VapourRise or Buffalo techlite, but more cycle orientated. Anyone recommend any of the GoreBikeWear jackets. Doesn’t have to be waterproof, but must be warm and windproof.

Gore phantom is brilliant. Had one last winter along with some MW80 boots and it got me through last winter no problem. The Phantom also allows you to unzip the sleeves but reveals a short sleeved inner to keep the tops of your arms warm which is ideal for spring/autumn. Or you can partly unzip the sleeves for a bit of ventilation.

Rab generator smock, warm even when soaking wet in sub zero temperatures.

That's a lightweight insulating piece though; great for chucking on when stopping but other garments would surely wick better and be more suited to active use?

I've used Gore Phantom - great but fit too baggy. Closer fitting stuff wicks better and insulates better. Gore has different fits though and other items in their range (I reckon) are better.

Anyone got the Endura Stealth jacket?
Worth the insane price tag?
