Is the Gore Oxygen packable enough

fatdaz

Hi

Very interested in this but opinion seems to vary on how packable it is. Searching forums I've seen opinion from "it doesn't fit in a jersey pocket" to "I put it in a pocket along with my phone and mini pump". Does anyone have one of these and, if so, will it fit easily in a jersey pocket?

Cheers

I have one.
I would say yes but.....
You roll it up into a jersey pocket it's pretty bulky and will max out a pocket. If your pockets are small or tight, then forget it.

It comes with a pack/holder which helps reduce it to a manageable size.
I've slotted it into my second water bottle holder before , so that's an option too.

It's a great jacket for the rain and winter in my opinion.

If you are referring to the Oxygen Active slim fit jacket, then yes if you fold/roll it up tight and pack it into the supplied compression bag, it will fit into a middle jersey pocket. There is a knack to packing it up small to fit into the bag, once you've done this a few times it's not a problem. Don't bother trying to fasten the zip closing on the bag though as it is a faff and not really necessary.
