GoLite removes all the bells and whistles from the Men's Phantasm Jacket to give it an incredibly low weight of 11 ounces without sacrificing important performance. Gore-Tex PacLite waterproof breathable material fights off every drop of moisture from a light sprinkle to a torrential downpour. Other than a hood and two pockets, the Phantasm Jacket includes no fancy features because you would rather have a jacket that packs small than one with gimmicks.
Bottom Line: Lose the fancy stuff and keep the important features with the GoLite Phantasm Jacket.
I got this jacket off s&c for $85 shipped. it is great - ultra light weight, water proof and nice fit. i am 5'10", 165 lbs and the mediums fits very well. i would highly recommend, especially if you can pick it up for under $100
I bought this jacket because I wanted a gore-tex jacket for hiking/camping.
It packs extremely small, and I haven't even needed it hiking yet (luckily). I didn't want to spend a lot (but gore-tex is expensive) since I was hoping I wouldn't ever need it hiking anyway.
Well, since then I have worn it many times when going to work in the rain. It works extremely well at keeping me 100% dry, and also wicks away any heat or moisture I might build up inside. I have no problems with this at all.
One thing to note...I usually get larges, but bought medium in this due to the sizing chart. The fit is "fitted," so it took me off guard when it didn't feel baggy. Well, now that I'm used to it and know it's fitted, I think it's fine. I've actually had many compliments on the jacket while wearing it out around town. I think if I would have gone with the large, it would have been way to big through the shoulders.
I'm extremely pleased with my purchase!
