Gore Wear C5 Gore-Tex SHAKEDRY 1985 Insulated Jacket

Unbelievably light but completely impervious to the rain and wind, Gore Wear's C5 Gore-Tex SHAKEDRY 1985 Insulated Jacket will redefine how you see cold wet weather cycling kit. Never get stuck in the cold and wet again with this modern marvel.

Taking their incredibly popular 1985 Shakedry jacket and adding Polartec® Alpha® insulation, Gore have really raised the bar when it comes to protection from the cold and the rain when cycling. The GORE-TEX® Active with SHAKEDRY™ Product Technology means that weight is kept to a minimum thanks to the removal of face fabrics but waterproof performance is maintained. Not only is weight lessened the lack of extra face fabrics give the jacket an incredibly high rate of breathability so you'll never feel overwhelmed with sweat no matter how high the intensity of ride. 

The Polartec® Alpha® insulation is remarkably light but its warmth to weight ratio is outstanding, keeping your body heat trapped inside. Paired with the windproof Active fabric you get a system that prevents cold winds robbing you of vital warmth. 

The Tech Details

Revolutionary Construction: The new Shakedry fabric technology eliminates the usual face fabric of standard waterproof garments, preventing absorption of water. You'll not experience the chilling effect that can result from a wetted out face fabric and the garment weight does not increase when riding in incessant rain.

Incredible Breathability: An extremely breathable construction reduces sweat accumulation and speeds vapour transport so you remain the perfect temperature and comfortably dry inside.

Exceptionally Lightweight and Great Packability:  One of the lightest waterproof, windproof, breathable GORE-TEX® products available. The revolutionary material being used and the unique garment design ensures a low pack volume - you can take this jacket with you anywhere, anytime for total weather protection.

Shake Dry Surface: Water simply beads on the surface without soaking in - a few quick shakes of the garment renders the surface dry and no wetting of the surface is allowed. It has to be seen to be believed! What's more this water repellency is permanent. No reproofing required for the life of the jacket.
