Gore Power Ladies Jacket review

Gore’s Power women’s jacket is made from lightweight Paclite material that’s wonderfully breathable, extremely waterproof and packs dead small – it will even fit into a pocket if necessary.

As we’ve come to expect from Gore, the fit is perfect for a woman’s shape, and the pre-shaped elbows mean the sleeves don’t ride up when you’re on the bike. The slim-fit shape means there’s no excess material waving annoyingly in the wind while you’re riding, or to get caught on trailside nasties either.

The extra long fold-down tail on the droptail rear offers further protection, yet is easily stashed when the clouds clear and the sun comes out. A high collar seals the neck perfectly, while Velcro cuffs take care of wrist duties. 

The front zip is waterproof and the high collar has a zip garage for comfort. Reflective piping on the front, back and sleeves adds some welcome road safety.
