R7 GTX SD Trail HD Jacket - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The R7 GTX SD Trail HD Jacket is what I take on any trail run where the weather is genuinely uncertain, and I cannot afford to be caught out. The SHAKEDRY membrane is the most breathable GORE-TEX laminate available, and it shows on hard climbing efforts where a less breathable shell would start to feel oppressive. Water beads and runs off the surface so completely that a few shakes after a heavy downpour and the jacket is effectively dry again, which is a capability I have not found in anything else at this weight."

Trail running in unpredictable weather demands a jacket that can handle whatever comes without slowing the runner down, and the GOREWEAR R7 GTX SD Trail HD Jacket is built specifically for that challenge. GORE-TEX Active with SHAKEDRY technology represents the most breathable GORE-TEX laminate available, placing the membrane directly at the face of the fabric without a traditional textile backer, which dramatically reduces weight and eliminates the moisture retention that conventional laminates can accumulate on the outer surface during sustained rain.

Water beads and runs off the SHAKEDRY surface so effectively that the jacket can be flapped dry within seconds of a downpour, and it will never wet through under any conditions covered by the GORE-TEX Guaranteed To Keep You Dry promise. At 5.6 ounces, the jacket adds almost nothing to the trail running kit, and it stows completely into its own front chest pocket for the long stretches when the weather holds and it lives in a vest or pack. The integrated adjustable hood features a reinforced visor and elastic trim for a secure fit through technical terrain and headwinds, stretchable cuff inserts hold sleeves in place while keeping GPS watch access open, and a partial drawcord at the waist dials in fit when the weather intensifies. A zipped back pocket provides accessible storage for nutrition or small essentials, and reflective details cover visibility for early and late trail efforts.
