GOREWEAR Lupra GORE-TEX LE2 Hooded Jacket - Men's Black, XXL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I have been riding in the Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE2 Hooded Jacket through some of the wettest training weeks of the season and it has handled every condition without flinching. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane is the real story here because it breathes well enough on hard efforts that I am not overheating inside the shell, which is the problem that kills most waterproof jackets for serious riding. The black-and-gold colorway is genuinely striking and makes this feel like limited-edition kit worth prioritizing before it sells out.""Some training days arrive wrapped in gray skies and steady rain, and the Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE2 Hooded Jacket is the reason to head out anyway. Upgraded from Gorewear's best-selling Endure jacket with next-generation GORE-TEX ePE fabric, this 3-layer shell combines guaranteed waterproof protection with a limited-edition black-and-gold colorway that makes wet-weather kit feel like a deliberate choice rather than a reluctant one. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane sits at the core of the jacket's performance, blocking rain from penetrating while allowing perspiration to vent outward continuously through the effort. The 100% recycled polyamide construction keeps the weight honest at 10. 6 ounces and packs down into its own stow pocket when the ride outlasts the rain. Pre-shaped elbows and shoulders move with the cycling position rather than fighting it, the reinforced hood with silicone grip holds a helmet securely through descents and crosswinds, and the soft neck lining keeps the hours in wet kit from becoming uncomfortable. Two zippered front pockets handle essentials, and reflective detailing at the elbows and lower back maintains visibility when the sky and the road both go dark."
