Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Jackets – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Gore Wear C5 SHAKEDRY 1985 Insulated Viz Jacket.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Gore Wear C5 SHAKEDRY 1985 Insulated Viz Jacket is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Jackets – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Jackets – Cycle. Brands like Gore Wear are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Jackets – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

- Description: Gore Wear C5 SHAKEDRY 1985 Insulated Viz JacketAn updated version of a retro classic, the C5 Shakedry 1985 Insulated Jacket from Gore Wear is stuffed to the brim with highly effective Polartec® Alpha® insulation, giving you all the winter warmth you could ever need. At the same time, it works brilliantly with the Shakedry™ tech on the surface to stop rain in its tracks to bead at the surface, all while maintaining lightweight performance and unbelievable breathability thanks to reduced fabric in all the right places.Practicality comes high on the 1985 jacket too. The two-way front zip works hard to keep water out in a key area, and in the rear you’ll find a zipped stow pocket, large enough to keep your valuables secure and free from water. Reflective logos help to keep your visibility high in lower light, and a great fit is provided by the elasticity of the hems and collars.The Tech DetailsRevolutionary Construction: The new Shakedry fabric technology eliminates the usual face fabric of standard waterproof garments, preventing absorption of water. You’ll not experience the chilling effect that can result from a wetted out face fabric and the garment weight does not increase when riding in incessant rain.Incredible Breathability: An extremely breathable construction reduces sweat accumulation and speeds vapour transport so you remain the perfect temperature and comfortably dry inside.Exceptionally Lightweight and Great Packability: One of the lightest waterproof, windproof, breathable GORE-TEX® products available. The revolutionary material being used and the unique garment design ensures a low pack volume – you can take this jacket with you anywhere, anytime for total weather protection.Shake Dry Surface: Water simply beads on the surface without soaking in – a few quick shakes of the garment renders the surface dry and no wetting of the surface is allowed. It has to be seen to be believed! What’s more this water repellency is permanent. No reproofing required for the life of the jacket.Features:Material:Main: 100% PolyamideMaterial: Lining: 100% PolyesterGORE-TEX® Active with SHAKEDRY™ Product TechnologyHigh visibility sleeve panelsPolartec® Alpha® insulation protects against cold, wet conditions whilst offering max breathabilitySHAKEDRY™ surface: Water beads on the surface so a few quick flaps renders the garment dryAdjustable collar with Velcro for optimum fit and protectionBack zipped stow pocketElastic cuffs at sleeve and partially elastic hem2-way front zipReflective logo and printReinforced hem for easier closure of zipperBuy Gore Wear from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
