    Hello people. I see that Wiggle are offering the oxygen 2.0 jacket for £145. Outstanding I thought. So popped into Edinburgh cycles cash in hand (they price match). Tried the XXL I and Quelle surprise! It’s tight on my forearms! I’m built like Popeye. Fits well everywhere else. 

    So what’s this got to do with the element? 

    Well it’s a more relaxed fit so I believe. But is it as waterproof? 

    Anyone tried or found a review?

     

    ta.

    I had the same issue with fore-arm space, assuming it was just the overall size, I went up a size to XXL, which in effect just made the arms longer!  

    I am living with it, as I realy like the jacket (Oxygen2 AS) but the zipped cuf on mine have a habit of riding under my palm which isnt the most comfortable!

    I have one.  Its exceedlingly waterproof.   Its reasonably breathable but I really wish it had pit zips on it and also a bit billowy.   I prefer the gabba when it looks like its looks if it may rain but the Gore Element has been on solidly for the last few weeks of monsoon conditions
