"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE3 Hooded Jacket has become the jacket I grab without hesitation any time there is a cloud in the sky. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane handles sustained rain without any compromise to breathability, which matters enormously when you are deep into a hard effort and need the shell to manage heat as effectively as it manages water. The chest logo graphics give it a clean, purposeful look that feels more like kit and less like rain gear, and at 9. 3 ounces I barely notice it in my back pocket until I need it.""The decision to ride in the rain gets easier when the kit makes it a non-issue, and the Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE3 Hooded Jacket is built around that principle. Upgraded from Gorewear's best-selling Endure jacket with next-generation GORE-TEX ePE fabric, it delivers 3-layer waterproof protection that keeps up with the effort rather than just the weather, finished with limited-edition chest logo graphics that give it a visual identity worth noticing. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane works continuously in both directions, blocking rain from outside and moving perspiration outward as the effort builds, so the interior climate stays dry whether you are spinning through a flat section or grinding up a long climb in a downpour. The 100% recycled nylon face and backer keep the construction light and packable, and the pre-shaped elbows and shoulders follow the cycling position without restriction or pull. The reinforced hood with silicone rim grip locks onto a helmet and holds through wind and speed, internal adjustment cords dial the fit without requiring a stop, and a soft neck lining keeps everything comfortable across the full duration of the ride. Two zippered front pockets handle nutrition and essentials, reflective details at the elbows and lower back extend visibility in low-light rain conditions, and the stow pocket takes care of the jacket entirely when the sky clears."
