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 Women’s C5 GTX Trail Hooded Jacket.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Gore Wear Women’s C5 GTX Trail Hooded 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 Women’s GTX Trail Hooded JacketIt may be light, packing down to a fist-size package, but the Gore Wear C5 Women’s GTX Trail Hooded Jacket packs a mighty punch when it comes to wet weather mountain biking protection. If you’re caught out on the trails when rain arrives then you’ll be very happy to have the C5 Women’s GTX Trail Hooded Jacket to hand. Made from two waterproof Gore-Tex fabrics, GORE-TEX PACLITE® Plus and GORE-TEX Active, it’s not going to let persistent rain ruin your ride. The GORE-TEX PACLITE® Plus is used across the shoulders and arms and this is because it’s tough and durable. Scrape a tree, get caught by some trailside overgrowth or if you wear a backpack, it will resist cuts and abrasions from them all. The body and hood meanwhile, are made with the GORE-TEX Active. This offers incredible breathability and waterproof performance while remaining incredibly light and packable. Wind and rain is kept out. Comfort is kept up. And pedalling hard sweat won’t leave you a soggy mess inside. If the weather really closes in then the close-fitting hood is easily pulled up – it fits snugly under your helmet for total protection. The dropped tail keeps wheel spray and muddly splashes off your behind and the taped seams prevent water from finding its way in, even when the rain is persistent. The C5 Women’s GTX Trail Hooded Jacket is an absolute must for wet and muddy mountain biking. Easily packed up and popped in a pack, you’ll always have reliable weather protection when the rain begins to fall.Features:Materials: 100% PolyamideGORE-TEX Active fabric on torso and hood for comfort and breathabilityGORE-TEX PACLITE® Plus fabrics on shoulders and arms: ultra-lightweight and packableBackpack compatibleDropped tail for protection from trail sprayFull length zip with under flap and zip port at neckLow profile adjustable under-helmet hood for extra protectionTaped seams all around for total weather protectionWaist hem adjustment with drawcordBuy Gore Wear from Chain Reaction Cycles.
