What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE2 Hooded Jacket is the first waterproof cycling jacket I have owned where I genuinely look forward to rainy days on the bike. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane manages moisture from both directions so effectively that I stay comfortable even on long climbs in heavy rain, and the black-and-gold colorway is sharp enough that it feels like a piece worth wearing rather than a piece worth tolerating. The reinforced hood grips my helmet without any fussing, which matters more than I expected once I was descending in a crosswind."A rainy ride does not have to mean a miserable one, and the Gorewear Lupra GORE-TEX LE2 Hooded Jacket makes that case convincingly. Built on the platform of Gorewear's best-selling Endure jacket and upgraded with next-generation GORE-TEX ePE fabric, this limited-edition shell arrives in a black-and-gold colorway that brings a level of visual intention to wet-weather kit that the category rarely sees. The 3-layer construction anchored by the GORE-TEX ePE membrane blocks rain from the outside while moving perspiration outward continuously, keeping you dry from both directions regardless of how hard you are working. The 100% recycled polyamide construction is lightweight and packable enough that the jacket stows into its own pocket and disappears into a rear jersey pocket when the sun returns. Pre-shaped elbows and shoulders follow the cycling position without restriction, the reinforced hood with silicone rim grip holds steady on fast descents, and reflective details at the elbows and lower back keep visibility high when the sky is at its darkest. A soft neck lining and two zippered front pockets round out a jacket that is as considered in the details as it is in the colorway.
