Excellent comfort from a superb waterproof with real breathability and good environmental credentials
Gorewear Spinshift Gore-Tex Jacket is a more environmentally responsible replacement for the brand's highly-regarded Shakedry jacket – and it proves to be a brilliantly waterproof and breathable heir to the throne.There's been no shortage of opportunities to put the Spinshift through its paces during the wettest few months in living memory. During almost every ride this jacket has proved just how capable it is of keeping its wearer dry and comfortable in the saddle.
Gorewear says it has: 'strategically cut and positioned each Gore-Tex fabric panel based on the body in motion'. This is to reduce seams and weight across the garment and to allow the jacket to flex with the body's position on the bike. Most importantly it outperforms all other jackets I have used in terms of its ability to keep rain out and to deal with moisture that you generate inside, in the form of sweat. One test was to wear it with just a merino-wool base layer underneath that often leaves me with very visible sweat patches when I get back from a ride. These proved to be minimal when used in conjunction with this jacket and riding in warm weather with just light showers.
There's a single zipped rear pocket that will take a phone, small wallet and energy gels . You can also turn this inside out and use it to pack the entire jacket away, but I wouldn't use this feature. When I did experiment with it, I didn't find it at all easy to open again and I was worried about snagging the material on the zip. And I've always been told to be careful not to scrunch Gore jackets up when storing them.On the road it ticks all the boxes.
The online sizing chart recommended a size Large that proved a good fit and it left enough room for a few extra layers underneath when needed. I even managed to get an insulated down gilet on for the coldest sections of a chilly overnight 400km ride to York.I was ready to give this full marks until I took it for one more ride. It was a 300km day that started with heavy rain and then alternated between drizzle and deluge.
Of course there are plenty of alternatives. If you are looking for something very race-orientated then you might like to wait for a review for the Castelli Gabba Jacket due out this summer that should emerge with an RRP of £215.scored full marks when Mike reviewed it in 2020. This is pitched as an extreme weather jacket at it comes with high collar, low scooped back and multiple venting options.
