Gore Countdown Paclite Cycling Jacket

Gore Countdown Cycling Jacket

Check Out the Gore Countdown Cycling Jacket at Wiggle

I’ve been using one of these Gore Countdown Paclite Cycling Jackets since late summer.

The Gore Countdown Paclite Cycling Jacket is lightweight, breathable and completely waterproof. It is simple, light and will fit easily in a pocket.

Goretex Paclite fabric is a very thin breathable laminate. This makes the jacket lighter and easier to stow than more normal 2 or 3 layer breathable garments, making the Gore Countdown perfect for the lightweight cyclist.

There are stretch Gore-Tex panels on the sides and arms for a snug fit and maximum comfort.

As the Paclite material is very thin, the Gore Countdown makes a great summer waterproof jacket.

In winter, you’ll need a base-layer and something like a long-sleeved winter cycling jersey underneath.

WhatMTB gave the Gore Countdown Paclite Cycling Jacket 9/10 although it seems perfectly suitable as a road cycling jacket to me.

Gore Countdown Paclite Cycling Jacket Features

  • Breathable and windproof/waterproof Goretex Paclite fabric
  • Adjustable Collar
  • Velcro wrist fasteners
  • Stretch Gore-Tex panels
  • Zip tags for easy adjustment when wearing gloves
  • Reflective piping details
  • Extra long tail
  • Rear cargo pocket
  • Velcro attachment for hood
