Gore Wear C5 GORE-TEX Trail Hooded Jacket

Specifically cut for an effective performance off-road, the Gore Wear C5 GTX Trail Hooded Jacket is an MTB option every bit as performance focused as something you’d wear on the road. This edition of the C5 is tough enough to take on the unique, rugged challenges of the trail, with a great fit that maintains plenty of speed without sacrificing comfort and the freedom you’re looking for. Not only that, but the fit at the waist is also fully adjustable, so it’s dead easy to find a fit that works best for you.

What you might not expect here though is the combination of packability and weather protection. We all know the cheap sort of fabric you usually get with a jacket that can be scrunched into a pocket or backpack: none of that here, because when you unfurl the jacket, you get some of the finest waterproofing, windproofing and breathability on the market via Gore-Tex Active material. An adjustable hood added here features a built-in visor, reflective details feature on all sides to keep you safe and seen in low light, and the taped seams have been placed specifically to integrate with a backpack easily.
