GOREWEAR Lupra GORE-TEX LE3 Hooded Jacket - Men's Black, S

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE3 Hooded Jacket has replaced every other rain jacket in my kit bag because nothing else I have tested manages the balance between waterproofing and breathability as well at this weight. I rode a five-hour day in steady rain last month and arrived as dry on the inside as I started, which is not something I can say about most shells I have worn at hard effort levels. The chest logo graphics are a clean touch that make this look and feel like intentional kit rather than emergency weather gear.""Not every ride happens under blue skies, and the Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE3 Hooded Jacket is built for every ride that does not. Upgraded from Gorewear's best-selling Endure jacket with next-generation GORE-TEX ePE fabric, this 3-layer shell brings guaranteed waterproof protection to the riders who treat the forecast as information rather than instruction, finished with limited-edition chest logo graphics that make the intention behind the kit unmistakable. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane handles rain and perspiration simultaneously, blocking water from the outside while moving sweat vapor outward as effort builds. The 100% recycled nylon face and backer keep the jacket honest at 10. 6 ounces, light enough to carry on every ride and packable enough to stow completely when the clouds part. Pre-shaped elbows and shoulders are cut for the cycling position rather than the coat rack, moving with arm extension naturally through every terrain change. The reinforced hood grips a helmet securely through descents and crosswinds, internal cords dial the fit without stopping, and a soft neck lining keeps the hours in wet conditions from accumulating into discomfort. Reflective details at the elbows and lower back hold visibility when the sky and the road go gray together, and two zippered front pockets keep essentials within reach for the full duration."
