Who's got one, wassit like? How foliage resistant is it? Had an Oxygen jacket for years which was great if a little rigid, it's replacement hasn't fared quite so well. Written off in one ride in fact.

I was a size L in the Oxygen despite my lankiness, heard these come up a bit small but as long as the L still has enough length in the body and arms I'll be good. Has their sizing changed much in the last few years?

Bumping this as I'm sure there's a few on here who have one.

I did actually buy a Gore Pro One for under 150 on sale today, sounds to be the perfect jacket but will almost certainly be too big for me as it was the last one and XXL. Mate is a unit though so he might have it or it goes back.

I've had one for about a month. Great jacket. Light but abraision resistant. Totally waterproof. Snug fitting. Arms are tight.

Cheers Shooterman. Yeah read that about the arms, my old Gore was the same, no pulling the sleeves up possible.

Done any bramble bashing at all? How does it size up compared to what you usually wear?

I have a size large (176cm, 83 kg). Don't know about brambles but have had a few OTB moments in it and it seems to hold up well.
