GORE WEAR Men's R5 Gore-tex Infinium Jacket

Product Information

Included in the collection for autumn/winter 2020, this jacket is special in all sorts of ways, and not only because of its appearance due to a transparent face fabric.

It is fine for a bit of light rain / drizzle but over the last week I've been out in proper rain and got soaked. Our Men's running jackets provide super lightweight protection from the wind and cold ensuring you can hit the roads any time of the year. GORE-TEX INFINIUM opens up new possibilities when it comes to enhanced comfort and protection in drier weather conditions.If you’re after a fully windproof cycling jacket that’s also completely breathable, reviewer Emma was blown away by the extremely light and packable women's Assos UMA GT Wind Jacket. This would lend to both the statements by gore wear and the "classification" by arc on the alpha hybrid that infinium is not a particular membrane at all. The layout of the stretch material along with the Infinium provides freedom for a great range of motion when swinging arms running or I imagine the reachy pole action when XC skiing. Given that the semi-fitted jacket is made from thin-feeling polyester, tester Shaun was genuinely impressed by its ability to completely stop the wind in its tracks and ward off particularly icy blasts. The membrane technology in GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® products has billions of pores that are 900 times larger than water vapor molecules, so even though wind can’t get in, moisture from sweat vapor can easily get out.

They do this by using tightly woven fabrics with gaps so small that it's difficult for much air to penetrate and steal body heat.

it is totally waterproof and definitely keeps you warm, i only have a t-shirt under mine when i run. It dries off quickly between showers too, making it practical for riding in changeable weather with intermittent rain. The semi-fitted cut gives plenty of length in the arms, with elasticated cuffs stopping any draughts from slipping in, though they’re not roomy enough to fit over gloves. It would be an ideal piece for a marathon be it ski or run in cold conditions or those long marathon prep runs in winter. The transparent, 100% Nylon material allows you to see a race number or team kit through the jacket.

Form fit: Not skin tight, but also not excessively baggy, Form Fit garments provide a sporting silhouette without being body-hugging. For instance, look out for details like a mesh back and underarm panels, side ventilation zips, a double-ended zip, and use of lightweight materials.

Unlike Gore-Tex, which is waterproof, Windstopper is designed to just keep the wind out, and is very good at it. During the development phase the designers focused primarily on the question of how they could make sure that the insulating layers remained dry and, consequently, effective enough for running outdoors in winter. Incredibly light, soft and comfortable, the Gore Wear R5 Gore-Tex Infinium Soft Lined Hooded Jacket is a protective outer layer, perfect for the cooler months. In the recent years and even more recently I've picked up a number of infinium/windstopper items out of curiosity. A classic fit means it's not super tight and fine for casual riding, and the eye-catching design is also a highlight.

If you’re racing or training, you want to minimise any excess material flapping in the wind, so choose a close and slim cut that covers the extremities when in more aero positions, like on the drops. The light, breathable membrane blocks the wind while allowing vapors to escape, keeping chill effects to a minimum. Measure around the narrowest part (below the bottom rib and above the hip bones), keeping the tape horizontal.Ticking the Holy Trinity of breathable, comfortable and affordable, the cape also stands out in conditions of low visibility. Designed with advanced materials, our GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™ fabric and quick drying POLARTEC® ALPHA® insulation keeps you warm whilst providing the breathability you require for those longer trails.
