Gorewear Farewell: Last 3 Days for 75% Off Premium Cycling Apparel
1 min readPublished Mar 29, 2026By Editorial Team
Three days. That is what is left of Gorewear.
The brand that invented GORE-TEX Shakedry shuts down permanently on March 31. Not a rebrand. Not a restructuring. The gorewear.com site goes dark, the remaining inventory is gone, and 40 years of cycling apparel history ends.
Everything still in stock is 25-75% off. No restocks. When your size is gone, it is gone forever.
## Why This Matters
Gorewear built the most technically advanced wet-weather cycling gear ever made, anchored by the Shakedry membrane. Traditional waterproof jackets use a face fabric over a waterproof membrane. That face fabric absorbs water, gets heavy, and takes forever to dry. Shakedry puts the ePTFE membrane on the outside. Water beads off instantly. The jacket weighs under 120 grams and dries in minutes.
## What to Grab
### GORE-TEX Shakedry Jackets — Up to 70% Off
- **C5 Shakedry 1985** (was $299, now ~$90-150) — The everyday rain jacket.
- **C7 Shakedry** (was $279, now ~$85-140) — Race-day cut with better ventilation.
### C5 and C7 Bib Shorts — 50-60% Off
- **C7 Bibs** (was $200+, now ~$80-100) — Pro-tier comfort at entry-level price.
- **C5 Bibs** (was $150+, now ~$60-75) — Best-value bib short you can buy right now.
### Windstopper Base Layers — 40-60% Off
Windstopper base layers block wind without bulk. Perfect for 35-50F spring rides.
## Before You Buy
- Sizing runs Euro. Between sizes? Go up.
- All sales are final after March 31.
- Warranties are honored post-closure.
- Gore-Tex lives on via Castelli, Rapha, and others.
## The Bottom Line
Three days. Everything is on sale. Nothing is coming back. Stock up.
