GORE WEAR Men's C5 Gore-tex Active Jacket

This garment is the perfect combination with a light wool base layer for 45-65 F Temps. At 6ft 205 lbs 43 chest and 36W the XL fits perfect with my merino 150 wool base layer. The arms and back flap are long which is a must for when you want to ride the drops. Great wind stopper. It is a breathable GoreTex product but keep in mind, you will still accumulate a lot of sweat which is why I'm recommending a light weight Merino wool base layer.

I was looking for a windproof, waterproof, and breathable cycling jacket for my longer rides and commute. This jacket has exceeded my expectations! I feel warm and comfortable when cycling in the early mornings. It's held up with some light rain so far.

Update, used on a reasonable length wet ride, about 3 hours, 75% time it rained. Stayed totally dry, wore a short sleeve jersey and arm warmers, plus a micro base layer, never to hit or to cold, 43-45F. From previous review **the fit is perfect for me. I'm 5' 5" about 145 - 150 pounds, little barrel chested. The fit charts say 37-38" chest and I measure to 39" but in testing the fit, I have a insulated vest / puffy vest underneath and a jersey, this fits just fine. I didn't want it billowing in the wind, but at the same time its no to snug, in a riding position on the hoods this looks to be perfect. The price I got unbeatable at 70% off the retail... wowza!

excellent fit, great looks and it BREATHES, keeping me dry letting moisture out while keeping the wind and rain out

Waiting for the low price, very good Gore-Tex jacket.

Was excited to get the jacket today……. Ordered an XL and was shipped an XXL…… kind of a bummer. The overall quality of the jacket, looks great. The fact that it took a minute to get here and it’s the wrong size, disappointing.

I bought the jacket a few months ago and now wear it for all winter bicycle rides. At 35 degrees and higher, the jacket, plus one layer underneath is all I need to stay warm and dry (I wear a long sleeve bike jersey). I rode in a down pour and 39 degrees yesterday and was completely dry. Below 35 degrees (I've ridden in the low 20s), two layers underneath are required and make sure to pick a size that can accommodate that-they are a tight fit. It also keeps out the windchill. I couldn't do winter rides without it. The only reason I didn't give a fifth star is that this color combination is difficult to keep clean. The yellow requires TLC.

I did not get a chance to evaluate the water-shedding and breathability of this jacket because while the body fits well, the amount of fabric in the elbow area is far too small for anyone with muscles.

I sent this item back. The Large is European large, North American medium. It is now pouring rain out, and Amazon is out of stock.

I love this jacket. I'm pretty sure I can be seen from orbit. Fits very well. Though my sweat does eventually exceed what even Goretex can exhaust, this lets me feel comfortable longer than any other rain jacket I've worn and even when it does start to bottle up the sweat, I remain comfortably sheltered from the warmth-sapping wind.The jacket folds into its rear pocket for storage, but it is a very tight fit and takes some effort.I wear a Euro size L (US size M) in all of my Gore C5 clothing. However, I had to step up to a Euro XL (US L) with this jacket, as it has zero stretch and there was no space in the sleeves or body for even a bit of airflow.Most Gore orders from Amazon Canada ship as Euro sizing, but watch for it. Sometimes a description will say XL while you're selecting an L from the drop-down, which may imply you're getting the more generous US sizing and the description is telling you the Euro sizing (Europeans are apparently smaller than Americans?)

Gisteren zijn vuurdoop gehad.Regenen hier in Waver is niet een bertje druppelen, maar binnen een half uur komt het met bakken naar beneden. Deels droog aangekomen op mijn werk met de fiets, geen zweet. De jas, dus de regenbroek wordt de volgende koop.

Bin von der Jacke begeistert, sitzt bei mir in M sehr gut, Achtung , fällt relativ groß aus, kann diese Jacke in M über einer GOREWEAR C5 GORE-TEX INFINIUM Thermojacke in Größe L tragen ohne dass etwas spannt oder mit in den Bewegungen beeinträchtigt. Material ist nicht dehnbar und erstaunlich dünn, stabil, atmungsaktiv und bei sportlichen Aktivitäten dadurch relativ warm. sehr zufrieden damit

Lo puedes usar para invierno, otoño y primavera. Yo lo he usado desde -5 hasta +16 C. Depende de lo que lleves debajo. Para -5 a +3 suelo llevar una camiseta fina termica + otra.Esta prenda te aisla del viento y te permite conservar tu temperatura. En cambio es un poco transpirable, lo que te permite no sudar. Es impermeable con lluvia fina o leve.No recomiendo lavarla muy a menudo. Es una prenda que no se ensucia o se limpia con un trapo mojado.
