R3 GORE-TEX INFINIUM Jacket Partial - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I started reaching for the GOREWEAR R3 GORE-TEX INFINIUM Jacket on early morning rides where the temperature and conditions tend to be at their most unpredictable. The GORE WINDSTOPPER technology is totally windproof without killing breathability at high output, and the stretch insert panels give it a range of motion that holds up even in an aggressive riding position. The seamless shoulder construction is a detail I didn't know I needed until I wore it with a hydration vest and felt zero pressure the entire ride."

Shoulder season riding demands a layer that can handle the full range of what the weather decides to do between the start of a ride and the finish, and the GOREWEAR R3 GORE-TEX INFINIUM Jacket is built precisely for that window. Designed for athletes moving at high output through variable conditions, this jacket delivers targeted weather protection without the breathability compromise or restricted movement that have historically made windproof cycling kit feel like a concession. GOREWEAR engineered it for runners but its construction translates directly and powerfully to the demands of road and gravel cycling.

The protective system at the heart of the jacket is GORE-TEX INFINIUM with GORE WINDSTOPPER product technology, a construction that is totally windproof and extremely breathable across the zones where wind protection matters most. Strategic stretch fabric panels built from an 86% polyester, 14% elastane insert fabric are placed to follow the geometry of an athlete in motion, delivering full range of movement through the shoulders, back, and arms without the jacket pulling or binding at extension. For cyclists, this translates directly to an unrestricted position on the bike across a wide range of riding postures. The face fabric and backer are both 100% polyester, chosen for their durability, packability, and compatibility with the GORE membrane laminate. Durable water resistance at the outer layer sheds light precipitation and road spray without relying on a fully waterproof construction, keeping weight and packed size minimal.

The seamless shoulder construction eliminates the pressure ridge that traditional seamed jackets create when worn beneath a hydration vest or cycling pack, a detail that matters enormously on longer efforts where cumulative pressure becomes genuine discomfort. Stretchable cuff inserts lock the sleeves in place through the full pedal stroke and arm extension without obstructing GPS watch access, and a full length zip with underflap and zipper port at the neck allows precise ventilation management as effort and temperature shift. An adjustable hem drawcord seals the base of the jacket against wind intrusion, and front zippered pockets provide secure storage for essentials on the move. Reflective details extend visibility in the low contrast conditions that often accompany the wet and overcast days this jacket is built for. For cyclists who ride through the full shoulder season or regularly face unpredictable morning conditions, the R3 GORE-TEX INFINIUM Jacket is a disciplined, high-performing addition to any serious kit.
