Ive got the Gore Shakedry. Worth the price IMO.

Heres a link on sale at Excel, not sure if they have sizes, but I' also look around for the fluro yellow.

How is the fit on this jacket? Euro or American?

Excel only has white in XL

Also, anyone use the Castelli Superleggera? Seems nice looking and not too pricey

Thanks

I've got a Castelli Superleggera. It's nice (and can be had on sale-I got mine for $50), although maybe not what you are looking for from a rain/waterproof perspective? I just use it as an extra layer for descending or starting off in the cold and tucking into a back-pocket. Reasonably breathable. I like that it is so lightweight although it sometimes feels a little flappy in the wind with it's cut vs a race-fit jersey. Takes up most of a jersey pocket-maybe could squeeze in a energy bar or so too.

While it's wind/water resistant, I don't think it would hold up in water-resistance vs. something like the Shakedry or 7Mesh Oro if you are somewhere particularly damp.

Fit is euro, close to the fit of Castelli, same company. I first tried a large but exchanged for a medium. I have a Castelli Gabba2 in a large and also fits well, but different types of materials. Hope this helps!

I too have the Gore Shakedry and agree that it’s the best I have ever had as far as dryness, breathabity and packagility. This years version has yellow highlights so it’s no so stealth.

I’m using the Rapha classic rain jacket. It works well, but not much ventilation.

This doesn't pack quite as small as the gore but it's pretty good:
