Are you looking for something packable that would fit in a jersey pocket? If not, PasNormal do a schoeller c-change jacket thats cut a little less "race fit". I can't comment on the waterproof qualities of schoeller vs goretex but it might fit the bill.

If you're not sold on the cut, get a slightly larger one. Shakedry is astonishing, actually keeps the rain out with no sweating inside - you won't be disappointed
FWIW, I have the C7 and bought a large initially but found it to be too baggy in riding position (fine if stood up) so sized down to medium

If you're looking for the least possible discomfort try shortening that audax by 2,000km

So I got the Gore C5 Shakedry. The fit is ok, but not perfect. I'm pretty broad shouldered. And it's fine when I'm in a riding position. But really too tight when I'm just standing up. I realize I wont be using it when I'm not cycling, so it's probably fine. Layers fit under it but I'm not used to having that tight clothes without any stretch so I feel a bit cramped. Maybe this will pass.
I noticed the Albion Rain jacket is a few cm wider in L. What would you do. Get the slightly larger one?
The reason I got the shakedry is that I will be riding a 2200 km audax next summer and want to be able to pedal through days of rain in the least discomfort possible.
