Telling yourself "I think that storm will go around us" is a surefire way to get the clouds to open up as soon as you hit the road, and while Gore Bike Wear's Oxygen 2. 0 Gore-Tex Active Shell Men's Jacket won't convince the weather to change, it will protect you from its angriest outbursts. Active Shell is Gore-Tex's most breathable membrane, so you won't become sweat-soaked in an attempt to ward off rain, and Gore engineered the Oxygen with zippered vents at the forearms and sides to help you stay cool when the drizzle takes a brief break. The side vents also provide easy access to jersey pockets, so you can stuff gloves and ear warmers in when you don't need them. Cut slim, the Oxygen will slide comfortably over a jersey but won't flap in the breeze when you get low during a wet and extra-exciting descent. A partially elastic hem keeps your lower back covered up when you're in the drops and the high collar sits comfortably against your neck. The collar is also reinforced, which makes working the front zipper with one hand a simple task. Gore finishes the Oxygen with a full complement of reflective details so you don't find yourself being ridden off the road by sleepy commuters when you're out for a misty, early-morning training ride.
