Awesome Jacket...Just Right!
By Chad H.
I took my first ride wearing the Gore Countdown jacket on a cooold 21 degrees Chicago evening. My ride was about 5 miles each way. The jacket performed FLAWLESSLY. I was wearing only a t-shirt and long sleeve thermal underneath. Upon arriving at my destination, I was actually beginning to break a light sweat! I could have easily gotten away with just a t-shirt underneath. The jacket is quite warm. While I don't imagine using it any time soon, as winter has just hit, I imagine the two way zipper will be quite effective in regulating heat distribution, while also keeping my neck warm. The fit is also perfect! As a commuter, I'm normally also wearing a backpack. Usually, with a heavier coat on, the backpack gets all bunched up and feels quite restrictive. With the Countdown, the fit is sleek and close to my body in all areas, allowing for a very comfortable ride. The sleeves are somewhat longer, to compensate for the stretch down to the drop bars; again, a perfect fit. Incidentally, I'm about 6'2" with a pretty long reach. And the neck is just the right height with just the right snugness for warmth. All said, the Countdown seems an ideal jacket, versatile enough for mild to cold weather riding.UPDATE: Went for a ride today in classic Chicago winter weather...30 degrees(24 with wind chill). The wind was whipping up something fierce. Simply put, this jacket lives up to its Windstopper moniker.

Overall a nice jacket, but the zipper is lousy.
By John Doe
This jacket will definitely keep you warm and dry. I wore it in horrible conditions (40 degree temp and fairly heavy rain) and didn't get drop of water on my undershirt or down my neck.As for the fit, I'm 5'10" and about 150 pounds so I decided to get the Medium. It does fit a tad roomy and long but If I wear a couple of layers underneath it fits better. The collar is bit higher than I thought it would be but it is flexible enough that I my neck didn't get sore even with the jacket fully zipped.Speaking of the zipper, it is the biggest drawback. The quality of the zipper and the teeth feels cheap. Sometimes it zips up easy, other times you'll struggle with it. It seems like it's the one corner that really got cut.If you're in place that has terrible weather 7-8 months of the year (and I do live in MN) it's difficult to think of better jacket for biking than this one.

By Paul B.Norman
I have been riding for years, and until now, I have had to layer jerseys to keep warm on the cold winter mornings. The jacket does the job without all the bulk. I am very satisfied.
