GOREWEAR Lupra GORE-TEX LE1 Hooded Jacket - Men's Tech Beige, XXL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I have worn the Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE1 Hooded Jacket through full days of wet riding and it has not let a drop through once. What impressed me most is how well the GORE-TEX ePE membrane manages heat on climbs, because most hardshells at this protection level turn into a sauna the moment you start working hard. The reinforced hood grips the helmet cleanly even at speed, and at 10. 6 ounces it packs down small enough to carry on every ride as a matter of habit.""The rides worth remembering are rarely the ones where everything went according to plan, and the Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE1 Hooded Jacket is built for the ones where the sky opens up and the only question is whether your kit is up to it. Built on the foundation of Gorewear's best-selling Endure jacket and upgraded with next-generation GORE-TEX ePE fabric, this is 3-layer waterproof protection that is guaranteed to keep you dry from the first drop to the last mile. At the heart of the jacket is a GORE-TEX ePE membrane that blocks rain absolutely while allowing perspiration to move outward, which means you stay dry from both directions through climbs, descents, and everything in between. Pre-shaped elbows and shoulders are cut for the position you are actually riding in, moving naturally without restriction or pull. The reinforced hood with silicone rim grip and internal adjustment cords locks onto a helmet securely through crosswind descents where lesser hoods become a liability. A soft neck lining keeps the fit comfortable across long hours in wet conditions, two zippered front pockets handle nutrition and essentials, and the stow pocket compresses the whole jacket when the clouds finally part. Reflective detailing at the elbows and lower back keeps you visible when visibility is at its worst."
