Gore’s Windstopper fabric technology gives incredible performance. The breathability is just what’s needed when working hard and is as good as we have experienced with a full shell jacket. Fused seams make this jacket absolutely windproof and the water resistance is excellent; it’s not totally waterproof but the blend of this fabric’s qualities is bang on in the UK’s changeable conditions.

‘On wet but steamy trail centre loops, this Rescue shell has proved invaluable’

The Rescue shell lives up to its name – it gets you out of trouble and keeps you riding. Gore’s attention to detail and many years of experience means they know just what features to include on this minimalist shell. A full front zip gives easy ventilation; a lightweight hood is invaluable when a storm rolls in, and a small chest pocket keeps essentials easily accessible. All you need in packable shell.
