Somewhat surprisingly for a brand famous for pioneering waterproof and windproof membranes, Gorewear’s Spinshift Thermo Jacket doesn’t feature any kind of multilayer barrier technology whatsoever. Instead, it relies on a tightly-woven, smooth-faced fleece fabric to insulate the wearer from the harsh realities of cycling outdoors in the kind of weather that finds most prudent people staying indoors.
This is a jacket that behaves more like a versatile winter jersey. One that can handle temperatures down to about 2°C/35.6°F, spirited gusts of wind and a sprinkling of rain - all while remaining immensely breathable.
