New to the GORE Wear collection for 2019, the GORE C5 GORE-TEX INFINIUM Hybrid Hooded Jacket is a technical jacket that can be worn for a broad range of activities. According to the company, it also provides a ‘fabric solution for the best of the blistering and bedraggled temperatures’.
Predominantly made of GORE WINDSTOPPER Stretch Material, the GORE C5 GORE-TEX INFINIUM Hybrid Hooded Jacket is claimed to be as comfortable to wear as a softshell. Critical areas of the jacket, like the shoulders, upper body and arms, are constructed from a waterproof GORE-TEX Active material, targeting the parts of the body that need the most weather protection.
Additionally, just like any fully equipped hardshell jacket it offers puddle splash and mud spray protection to the seat area.
GORE Wear designer Kristina Mora explained the process behind GORE-TEX INFINIUM. She said, “Under the GORE-TEX INFINIUM umbrella brand, we are now able to bring together the most advanced technologies to provide the best possible comfort and protection. In other words, we get as much out of the product as we possibly can.”
“This makes the GORE C5 GORE-TEX INFINIUM Hybrid Hooded Jacket a highly versatile jacket.”
The stand-out feature of this jacket is its lightweight and breathable fabric, making it a companion for a diverse range of mountain biking activities. The form-fitting cut is available in black, red or blue colour schemes that also feature reflective logos to keep riders visible at night.
