Gore Bike Wear Oxygen Jacket GT introduces the new Active Shell Gore-Tex fabric, the evolution of the famous Gore-Tex, but made only two layers of fabric rolled simultaneously, instead of the traditional three. This innovation leads to lighter fabrics, waterproof and breathable and also resistant to tearing.

Gore Bike Wear Oxygen GT AS Jacket: The jacket is made with the new Active Shell fabric Gore-Tex laminate with two layers that reduce the weight of the jacket without compromising the qualities of breathability and waterproofing. The seams are taped, so that the jacket is 100% waterproof. There are waterproof stretch fabric inserts, while the cut is anatomically fitting, with the back long. The zip is long and waterproof. The neck is high and there are different reflective material inserts. Present a zip on the wrist for better fit and possibly ventilation. The four available colours, and sizes ranging from S to XXL. In size L has a weight of 205 grams, as observed with our instrumentation.
