  • Gore Wear C5 GTX I SL Thermo JacketCold winds, persistent drizzle and damp roads are no match for the C5 Gore-Tex Infinium Soft Lined Thermo Jacket from Gore Wear. A masterpiece for dedicated road cyclists who won’t be beaten by the elements.  The C5 Gore-Tex Infinium Soft Lined Thermo Jacket brings together INFINIUM™ insulation, a soft fleece lining and Persistent Beading Technology to give you a cycling jacket that excels in cold and damp weather conditions. Light rain and drizzle can’t soak in because of the innovative beading technology while the insulation and fleece lining do a brilliant job of retaining warmth even on the coldest of days. Not only that, but the jacket is also completely windproof and highly breathable, ensuring you don’t get cold and clammy inside. Gore gives the C5 Gore-Tex Infinium a refined cycling-specific fit to prevent flapping and its soft-lined shell is also remarkably comfortable against the skin and quiet to wear. Three large pockets provide plenty of storage space and a small zipped pocket provides a secure space for valuables. Gore have also added reflective accents around the jacket, enhancing your visibility to others during the shorter and darker days of winter. Features:Materials: 100% PolyesterGORE-TEX INFINIUM™ Soft-lined garment with Persistent Beading TechnologyPersistent beading surface is water resistant against light showersTotally windproof and extremely breathableWarm fleecy inner fabric for cycling in cold conditionsThree large rear pockets with a fourth small zippered pocket for keys and valuables – 3D rear pocket construction gives more storage spaceDraped cycling fit will not flap in the windDurable front zipper with zipper garage at neck to prevent chafingHigh collar with brushed liningReflective details on all sidesSoft lined shell is quiet to wear with next-to-skin comfortBuy Gore Wear Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

As with many cyclists, be it mountain bikers, BMX riders or road cyclists we want to take the time to make sure we get the best products. Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices. They were just so low that alarm bells should instantly be ringing. That’s why we only recommend buying from the retailers that you really know and trust, names like Wiggle, Chain Reaction and Evans Cycles are just some of those that we use regularly. With these retailers you know you’re in safe hands and can expect great service, great returns policies and if anything was to go wrong great customer service under a warranty claim.

But onto the reason you’re here today, let’s delve into some of the details of Gore Wear C5 GTX I SL Thermo Jacket to help you understand a bit more about where it sits in the market against some of the many alternatives that are available out there. We’re very aware that by buying our cycling stuff online that we’ve missed out on the opportunity to actually see and test the product first. This is where reviews come in to their own, as it gives us that chance to hear from other like-minded cyclists about how good or bad a product is.

As you would expect, our first and top piece of advice before buying, is to read lots and lots of Gore Wear C5 GTX I SL Thermo Jacket reviews. With a review score of 8.9 out of 10 it’s likely that there will be lots of great detailed reviews to help you. And if you find that actually the reviews are suggesting Gore Wear C5 GTX I SL Thermo Jacket isn’t right for you then there will be tons and tons of other reviews for other products in the Jackets category. In fact we’ve got 1729 products reviewed in this category alone.

Something that makes it particularly challenging is the vast range of choice, as mentioned above there are 1729 products in the Jackets category. There are also 393 products from the brand Gore Wear. And then getting into the specifics even more there are 103 products from Gore Wear in the category “Jackets”.

So let’s take a look at the second most important decision making tool we can use when shopping online, price. Whether your goal is to just get the cheapest Jackets available, or to get the best quality at a reasonable price, there’s always going to be a need to do your research on price.
