Ultimate jacket for high aerobic exercise in cold and wet conditions

The combination of GORE-TEX® SHAKEDRY™ Technology and Polartec® Alpha® Insulation creates the ultimate breathable, durably waterproof jacket for high aerobic exercise in cold and wet conditions.

GORE-TEX Active jackets with SHAKEDRY™

The revolutionary development of GORE-TEX Active jackets with SHAKEDRY™ product Technology has brought increased protection and breathability to road cyclists. GORE® Wear has continued to innovate with the development of the GORE®C5 1985 GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™ Insulated Jacket. Using Polartec® Alpha® insulation in combination with SHAKEDRY™ has produced a jacket almost as breathable and waterproof as existing SHAKEDRY™ jackets, but with the added warmth of the highly technical insulation layer. GORE® Wear carefully selected the Polartec® Alpha®fabric because of its packability and fast drying time, creating warmth without weight. It has exceptional breathability and compressibility due high loft fibers in a low-density knit.

Designed for high aerobic sports, the goal of the jacket was to provide manageable warmth during strenuous exercise. During an activity, continuous movement of sweat away from the skin is needed to keep an athlete warm and comfortable. Polartec® Alpha® and GORE-TEX® SHAKEDRY™ work together to accomplish this wicking. Due to the persistent beading surface of SHAKEDRY™, the jacket never wets-out and therefore never compromises breathability. This consistency in all weather conditions makes the jacket more reliable for the athlete, meaning you can wear it for longer periods of time, and in a wider range of weather. Cycling in cold and rainy weather will be more efficient and more comfortable when using the GORE® C5 1985 GORE-TEX SHAKEDRY™ Insulated Jacket.

GORE-TEX®

GORE-TEX® products are durably waterproof and windproof combined with optimized breathability.
At the heart of the GORE-TEX® fabric is an extremely thin membrane that's durably waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It has over 9 billion pores per square inch. The microscopic pores on the membrane are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, which means water droplets can’t pass through. The pores are 700 times larger than a water vapour molecule which means perspiration passes right through. This is what makes the membrane breathable. The volume of air that passes through one square meter of fabric in one second (l/m²sec) is 5.0 or less, creating a truly windproof membrane.

GORE-TEX® Active products with SHAKEDRY™

The new GORE-TEX® Active products with SHAKEDRY™ product technology feature an outer surface that repels water. They are the lightest and most breathable GORE-TEX® products available. The new product is also durable waterproof, windproof, exceptionally lightweight and maintains the wearer’s comfort in a broad range of weather conditions.

Polartec® Alpha®

Polartec® Alpha® is the latest evolution of synthetic insulation offering a rare combination of lightweight warmth and true breathability in a “puffy” style garment. Because Polartec® Alpha® insulation is highly durable and more stable than other synthetic insulation products, more open-construction woven face and back fabrics can be selected to create an air permeable package. This small amount of airflow rapidly draws moisture away from the body and allows Polartec® Alpha® to be worn in a wider range of activities compared to classic “vapor barrier” style insulation.
