I bought this jacket after looking at a few of the new Gore Tec Active shell range of jackets that are out there at the moment. This one was on sale at the store and I immediately could feel the quality of materials and engineering.
It is incredibly breathable and cut in a way to make highly active movements really easy.
Mountain biking, even trail running would be great in this jacket.
I'll be seeing how long it takes for the Gore tec to wear out over the higher used areas but so far, so good.
The zip is solid to the point of being a little fiddly, but much more secure and water tight that any of the other jackets I looked at.
Essentially this is super light-weight, minimalist and great looking/feeling hard shell for anyone looking for fast and light cover.
