Hi all

I'm looking for a versatile do-it-all type jacket and the Gore Phantom seems to get good reviews. But after doing a bit of reading I'm totally confused as to the different variations that seem to be around

Wiggle offer these two

and other than colour choices and 1 being called the Phantom II I can't actually see any difference between them. Can anybody enlighten me and is one preferable to the other.

Thanks

    Probably no difference, I have 3 of them and have always just ordered the standard Phantom (i.e. not listed as a 2 but whether that's the model I got I don't know). They were bought over a 2-year period and all are identical (apart from one being neon yellow and the other two red...).

    I went through the same thing on the Wiggle site when I was shopping for a Gore Path jacket. Eventually concluded the '2' was the outgoing version, hence not available in all colours / sizes. No difference at all in spec, so in the end I went for the cheapest.

    (And I'm very pleased with it; got caught in a hail storm last night and it kept me splendidly warm and dry)
