I actually was trying to decide between several jackets -- the Craft Thermal, Pearl Izumi Gavia, and Gore Phantom. I ended up ordering a Craft and PI Gavia, with the intention of returning one. However, I decided to keep both because they each have advantages. I use the Gavia more for commuting because it's available in high-vis yellow, and it's also supposed to be more rain resistant. However, the Craft seems to be more breathable and fits better as a technical jacket for faster riding. If the Craft was available in bright yellow, I would have just bought it. The Gore Phantom seemed almost perfect in that it was available in yellow, and it's supposed to be very breathable with removable sleeves. However, I had trouble finding a source for Gore Phantom jackets in my size, and found inconsistent information on sizing on various website. I had planned to order a Phantom through REI, which is very good about handling returns/exchanges, but they didn't have the Gore jacket in my size, so that's what nixed it.
