FUSION Jacket wins test in MountainBiking UK
Learn why MountainBiking UK named the GORE BIKE WEARTM FUSION Jacket the "WINNER" in their December 2009 issue.
"What happens when you make a jacket designed with the highest performance at its core, money no object? You get the Gore Fusion GTX that`s what, with guaranteed waterproof performance, fully articulated cycling cut, long length pit vents, waterproof zips, extending drop-down tails, foldaway hood, two zipped rear and one chest pocket, zip garage and comfort fleecy bits.
But it`s when you look inside that you see where the money goes. Gore's Comfort Mapping mixes fabrics to provide warmth where you need it, and ventilation where you don`t. It makes for a complex map of seam taping and immaculate construction quality. The shape makes it effortles to wear and that Comfort Mapping business really is the business. It`s a big investment but for commmitted riders, it`s worth it.
"Let`s pitch right in and say that we rarely love anything enough to give it a 10, so you have to know that the Gore Fusion GTX is exceptional.
MBUK VERDICT
FIT: 9/10
PERFORMANCE: 10/10
BUILD: 10/10

A top dollar jacket with top-notch performance to match."*
