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.

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

This encourages me to keep it. It's not like I will use it when I'm not on the bike anyway.

I wish the c7 wasn't quite so pricey. A little bit of stretch in my jacket and I think I wouldn't consider changing it.
