Gore Bike Wear

Fusion GT AS Jacket - Men's

Do you like to hit the trails in all weather? Are you keen to ride mountain roads as soon as they're cleared of snow? If so, the Gore Fusion GT AS Jacket will become one of your favorite pieces of gear. Made with the Gore-Tex Active Shell, the Fusion GT AS Jacket is lightweight, breathable, and surprisingly easy to pack if the weather brightens up.

The expert use of the Gore-Tex active shell is instrumental in giving the Fusion Jacket a breathable, stretchy, and comfy fit. The material keeps the wetness out and the warmth in while still allowing your perspiration to be released. Let’s face it, that is the holy grail of winter cycling clothing, and no material makes it happen quite as well as Gore-Tex. Gore also places stretch inserts strategically throughout the jacket to account for the natural range of motion while cycling. You'll find them around the elbows, shoulders, and back since these are the areas that are in continual motion. By using different types of Gore-Tex fabrics in one garment, Gore is able to layout a comfort map. Consequently they call this Comfort Mapping Technology. For optimal storage capacity, they also give the jacket a Napoleon pocket in your front left breast so that you can safely and conveniently store your most valuable items like your keys and credit cards.

But make no mistake: this is a jacket for seriously unpleasant weather. It's waterproof and breathable, and it has a stowaway hood hidden in the collar so that you can whip it out if the weather takes a dramatic turn for the worse. Since it's typically the weakest link in a jacket’s consorted battle against the elements, the zipper gets an under-flap and zip-port so that even a raging wind will not penetrate through to your base layers. You can also tighten or loosen the cuff to accommodate bulkier gloves if need be, or to close out the cold and wet from sneaking up your wrist. A hem-width draw cord has been included which is easy to adjust and may prove to be your savior on those rides with heavy wind and rain; you can tighten the cord to keep out the elements during the worst moments, and then undo it to give your torso a chance to breathe a little more once the sun comes out again. The elbows have been ergonomically shaped so that you won’t feel like they tug at your cuffs.

The Gore Fusion GT AS Jacket will protect you on or off the trails with its expert pairing of comfy breathability and lightweight warmth. It's available in Black and comes in sizes Small through XX-Large. The reflective print on the sleeves and at the front and back of the jacket will keep you visible even if the evening darkness catches up to you faster than you expected.
