I recently bought my second GoLite Phantom jacket. It is without doubt the best light weight, Gore-Tex, breathable jacket I have ever owned. They take up almost no room in the suitcase. I use them for a light walking jacket for warmth as well as a rain jacket. What has impressed me most is the breathability. Even in a warm rain I can feel the air circulate. Great coat and great value!

I have several Arc'teryx jackets; all either soft shell or wind/rain jackets. All I would score as "5's". The Alpha SL Jacket is great for morning hikes or walks and makes a perfect jacket for bike riding. The breathabilty is perfect as is the protection from wind and rain. I am 5'10" 180 pounds medium frame with wide shoulders and the Large is perfect size for all my Jackets.

I bought this jacket, not for snow country or mountain climbing; but for rainy, blustery days in Texas and for hiking overseas. It is light weight, rugged, easy to pack, waterproof, windproof, breaths extremely well, and amazingly warm. My GoLite jackets are great for mid rainy weather, but the Manticore is perfect for nasty weather with temperatures under 50 degrees. Great for layering, but might want to order one size larger.

This is the best jacket I own. Stylish, functional, works great over a fleece in cold weather, and breathes well. I bought the white for safe, early morning walks on the street during the winter cold. I am tempted to buy another color just because I like the jacket so well

Between my husband and myself we have four GoLite Jackets--Three Phantom and one Element. The GoLite Phantom is extremely lightweight, rainproof, and breathable. It is the perfect jacket for N. Texas winters or overseas travel.

Great looking and functional! Has pockets where needed. Keeps you warm and dry--very comfortable. Good breathablity as well.

Wonderful cool weather fleece for under a windbreaker. Looks great and like how light, yet warm they are.

Works great underneath a windproof/waterproof shell for winter temperatures above freezing. I have two Maverick AR Jackets--Grey and Black. Alternate with wardrobe! Great jackets!
