Two jackets I’ve found online, none of my LBS(s) carry these jackets, are the Endura Convert Softshell Jacket and Sugoi Men's RS 120 Convertible Jacket. I’ve also tried on Gore’s Winstopper but found that very tight. While I will use this jacket mainly for road biking I am not fond of super tight fitting race style clothing. It would also be nice to use it as a cross country ski jacket.

Hoping someone can offer some insight on these two jackets or add suggestions for other soft-shell convertible jackets to look at?

thanks, Jeff
