resistent jackets
eVent is extremely much like GoreTex. Wind stopper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], waterproof, breathable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my rain pants are made with eVent. I love my clothes and gloves created using WindStopper, a little cheaper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but not waterproof. Initially when i first started commuting by bicycle, I got a Nylon jacket, created using coated nylon and taped seams. It proved helpful until the coating wore off. I actually do believe it is worthwhile to spend the extra money and obtain something that works from the beginning.
I have not seen many fully waterproof jackets that are lined for warmth, you may want to obtain the best shell and layer underneath. I've found the wind blocking aspects keep me warm having a nice thermal first layer.
Very similar for rain pants too. I have fleece lined bicycle pants (WindStopper material about the front) for when no rain (or very light). If it's raining, I wear leggings underneath my fully waterproof pants, which don't offer as much warmth, but they do keep the rain/wind out.
This can be a great question,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and something which i found myself asking only a few weeks ago. The aforementioned posts are wonderful if you think like restricting yourself to "Goretex" as the main construction fabric from the jacket you are looking for.
You can find lots of technical information about Goretex online,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but probably the most basic information about the material is its 3,000mm rating. Marmot released their ZION jacket using NeoShell, that is with a rating of 10,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000mm (100% waterproof by all industrial standards) and has received awards from Polartec for best use of their fabric. And thus, after a heavy amount of research (really the only reason I know any of this), I decided to buy one from a Third party retailer for a great deal less than they're found on the site. Oh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one more thing, NeoShell works like a passive membrane look at this -
Goretex is definitely an active permeable fabric, this means that you will need to start sweating and building pressure within the jacket before you decide to notice any dissipation of heat with the fabric, relieving you of excess heat (but at this time it's type of past too far). SUCKS!
NeoShell is really a passive permeable fabric, what this means is that the second you begin to develop heat pressure in the jacket it is basically forced out. Pretty cool huh? It gets better.
I have been itching to write this review somewhere and a friend of mine JUST referred this site like a great resource for biking gear. And so i got the jacket last Sunday and have been riding, running, and pushing myself harder than I ever could with my old riding jackets (that have been all pearlIzumi, etc). I've got a similar commute to take care of every day in 19F (-7C) degree weather and also the first time I got on Monday and began to feel the heat in my jacket, it was as if it had been being sucked out, leaving me by having an even warmth which was comfortable and inspired me to ride even harder. The jacket has a great articulated hood, loooooong sleeves with asymmetrical cuffs which cover the tops of your hands in the wind,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], draw cords on the waist, and pockets that double as vents. It features a fleece lining to wick moisture. And because the fabric is so breathable, I've never needed to unzip to manage heat. Literally. the very best riding jacket that was never intended to be a riding jacket. 100% wind and waterproof. It is a little pricey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however for something which can perform what all others cannot And become used for running, skiing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hiking, and climbing. it really does not get much better. I have yet to brave snow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I've never been this excited to overcome terrible weather in my life.
I would recommend a baselayer then one warm on those extra cold days. Gore and Associates, Inc. They use various technologies to create breathable, waterproof and windproof fabrics.
The Gore brand is commonly about the expensive side. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I believe that they license out their fabrics to other manufacturers, but I'm not sure about this.
I have used Gore cycling products for quite some time and also have yet to be displeased. Rain, wind,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cold, etc. actually, I found their winter gloves to become too thin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but otherwise.
My favorite,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most versatile cycling jersey is made by Gore. The front panels are made with "windstopper" fabrics and also the long sleeves zip on/off. I possess a 5+ years old gorebikewear jacket which appears to possess a few more years left. I'll no doubt check out other options after i look for a new one in a few years.
An email in line with the question, "This is for wearing at near freezing temperatures (I have decided I don't need a summer rain jacket)" - I currently make use of a gorebikewear wind/rain jacket all year round. This is an unlined jacket. In warm, rainy weather,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's layered with nothing but a short-sleeve jersey. Anyway, the outermost layer (jacket) is primarily for wind/rain protection; and also the layers beneath are for temperature control.
So, for me personally a minimum of (in the rainy and often cold Pacific NW), just one wind/rain jacket gets me through the entire year.
Gore-Tex is really a semi-permeable membrane: a fabric, like a net, although not woven: it's formed by stretching. It's made from expanded PTFE, like a spongy Teflon (and their patent involved how to do the expansion/manufacturing). A microscope shows it is something like bone, or perhaps a net, or holey Swiss cheese. The holes in the fabric layer tend to be larger than air and water vapour molecules (which therefore go through); but smaller than liquid water droplets (which are many water molecules bound together), which therefore don't go through (water about the fabric should stay on it, until it's brushed off or evaporates).
Sometimes (as with my jacket) you don't see Gore-Tex. It is a middle layer, attached to between your jacket's inner lining and outer shell. the inner lining and the outer shell) are, principally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], meant to be durable. They're woven, and have pockets etc. Additionally they (being a water-resistant nylon fabric themselves) help with keeping the sewn-in Gore-Tex from getting soaked: a sheet of water about the Gore-Tex would prevent its 'breathing'. In rain the Gore-Tex middle layer keeps the jacket's wet covering from the inner lining and from my skin. In extremis (when all is soaked in very heavy rain) the Gore-Tex attempts to stay water-repellent albeit no more so 'breathable' (but in very heavy rain, I'm happy enough to be warm: and to have air inside the jacket).
I purchased my jacket 10 or 15 years ago from MEC. Even when it is expensive (and it wasn't, especially - and that i liked it a lot that I bought duplicates as Christmas presents for my family,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and they still wear theirs too), I'd consider be it durable and useful. My jacket does not have cycling-specific tailoring, so I can put it on anywhere/anytime when it is wet out. Also I (among other things) reckon I save $1,500/year in bus fare by commuting by bike: so amortizing that $1,500/year over two or more years can justify spending ('investing') the cash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for purchasing a motorcycle and clothes, but still come out ahead, relatively.
Anyway. So my jacket includes a lining etc., along with the Gore-Tex membrane hidden away like a middle layer. The inner lining of this jacket is mesh/webbing, which helps the jacket to face off from your body. This makes it durable, and the nylon exterior shell causes it to be wind-proof. I regulate my heat (when cycling) by using the front zipper: up round the throat, or down to open the chest, which ventilates the jacket. my jacket was made and labelled and perhaps created by Le Coq Sportif, who make sportswear). Now Gore-Tex appear to make and sell their own complete clothes? But other manfacturers presumably continue to license the fabric and employ it.
There's a Gore-Tex "Paclite" fabric or jacket now, which I don't think I've seen/felt. I guess that's a single-layer jacket. I don't know whether that's pure Gore-Tex or else what it is bonded to the shell (how it performs). I believe it's aimed at cyclists. I'm not sure how good it's for cold-weather riding (mine, because it's lined and wind-proof,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is nice).
Let me find the best choice of jackets but I have no idea where. Most LBS when I request Gore-Tex say "that's expensive" and do not stock it. I don't want to buy sight unseen because every detail matter.
Gore-Tex continues to be a brandname along with a trademark (and a company). Its patent has expired. I'm not sure what competing/similar products/solutions/manufacturers you will find,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
I was out mountain biking yesterday in heavy rain. My eVent jacket (made by Rab) kept me dry. I believe eVent is supposed to be a bit more breathable than gore-tex, so if you're working hard and becoming warm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some of your sweat will distribute.
I would suggest you don't try to acquire one waterproof and warm coat. You're far better off getting a waterproof coat that you can wear on the warm coat/top if it's really cold. Then you need got much more options and may obtain the best established to match the weather and kind of cycling you're doing.
