Well color me impressed.
It arrived in one day, and I gave it a test ride this morning.
Mrs. Gone says it's pretty stylish, and while I was thinking she'd give me grief for buying a piece of gear that isn't day-glo yellow, she said the color was very subtle for those "meet me for dinner after work" evenings. In fact, going to meet her and her brother for dinner after work.
It's lighter than a typical touring jacket, but still kept the wind off of me nicely this morning. The zipper is fiddly, with two pulls at the bottom that you have to line up to zip it. (I guess in case you want to unzip it by pulling up?)
The rain liner is basically a trash bag, so pulled that out and will not use it, but keeping the thermal liner handy for winter coming up. Glad I ordered one size up from what I'd normally buy. It's tight with the liner in, comfortable without the liner, wearing a light sweatshirt. I am intermittent fasting, however, so I'm hoping everything will get slightly more comfortable soon.
