GORE BIKE WEAR™ PHANTOM Jacket - awarded 2nd place in the "GEAR OF THE YEAR" list of WHAT MOUTAIN BIKE
Praise for the PHANTOM Jacket from the WHAT MOUNTAIN BIKE magazine UK:
"Flick through any issue of WMB and you`ll probably see a Gore softshell gracing the backs of one or more of our test team. Gore's Windstopper fabric is highly breathable, resists all but the worst downpours and keeps out chilly north-westerlies. It also has that all-important snuggle factor to keep you feeling warm and safe when you are miles from home.
The PHANTOM Jacket is our favourite of Gore`s softshells and it`s versatile as riding top can get, with zip-off sleeves and an excellent cut: close enough to maximise wicking and with enough stretch to accommodate even the worst pro-ellbows on our weekly photo missions. We`d be happy to trim our riding wardrobe down to a base layer, a shell and one of these to see us through almost the entire year.*"
More Information on the PHANTOM Jacket
The multifunctional GORE BIKE WEAR™ classic has been awarded many prizes and has proved itself over the years. The PHANTOM Jacket has been further developed and optimized by a softer, more elastic WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shell. The jacket’s breathability is very high, it is elastic and water-repellent. It provides ideal moisture management and is therefore suited to many weather situations. With its stretch thermal material at the back, the special cut and pre-shaped elbows, the PHANTOM Jacket offers optimum comfort for the biking posture. The jacket has been further optimized with reflective piping on the sleeves, the front and the back, a reduced weight front zip and an improved splash guard. With removable sleeves, which can be tucked away in a back pocket, it is a jacket and windproof jersey in one. The flexible PHANTOM Jacket therefore covers a wide temperature range.
