GOREWEAR Lupra GORE-TEX LE1 Hooded Jacket - Women's Tech Beige, XL

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I have put the Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE1 Hooded Jacket through some genuinely miserable wet rides and it has kept me completely dry every single time. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane breathes well enough that I am not cooking underneath it on climbs, which is the balance most waterproof cycling jackets fail to find. The pre-shaped elbows and shoulders follow my movement so naturally that I forget I am wearing a hardshell, and the reinforced hood with silicone grip stays put even when the wind picks up on exposed descents."There is a certain kind of rider who does not check the forecast before heading out, and the Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE1 Hooded Jacket was built with that rider in mind. Updated from Gorewear's best-selling Endure jacket with next-generation GORE-TEX ePE fabric, this 3-layer shell delivers waterproof protection that is guaranteed to keep you dry regardless of what the sky decides to do mid-ride. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane sits at the core of the jacket's performance, with nine billion pores per square inch engineered to block rain while allowing perspiration to escape. That balance between waterproofing and breathability is what separates this from a simple rain layer and makes it a genuine cycling tool. Pre-shaped elbows and shoulders move with the rider rather than against them, the reinforced hood with silicone grip and internal adjustment cords stays locked through wind and speed, and a soft neck lining keeps the fit comfortable across long hours in the saddle. Two zippered front pockets handle essentials, and the stow-away pocket compresses the entire jacket when the sun finally breaks through. Reflective details at the elbows and lower back keep visibility strong when the light is low and the rain is falling hardest.
