SheCycles Advent Calendar: 23rd December

(Click to reveal)

Being lucky enough to own a top end Gore-Tex jacket means that you have no excuse to get out on the bike even in the coldest or wettest of weather! Some may baulk at the price, but as with most things in cycling you get what you pay for, and in the case of the Gore Alpine Lady jacket you'll get years worth of reliable use out of it.

It's totally waterand windproof and is designed specifically for female cyclists so the fit is great too, the articulated arms and low back with drop down bum flap keep out draughts and spray. It packs down into its own rear pocket and wil easily fit into a jersey pocket or back pack, we never ride without it!

  • Price:RRP £149 (check out the SheCycles Shopping Partners for cheaper prices)
  • Sizes: Small, Medium, Large
  • Colours:Red, blue, white, grey
  • Contact:www.gorebikewear.com

    We had to wait until quite recently to test the Alpine properly thanks to the mild autumn but now it's really cold you can expect a full review soon.

    Can anyone advise me: I'm looking to buy a new waterproof for cycling (though it doesn't have to be a cycling specific one necessarily as long as any hood packs away well so it is ok for cycling)

    I'd like it to be quite a good one so that it lasts me a while (I bought a cheap 25 quid one last year, and it's completely lost it's waterpoofness already, hence me having to buy a new one!), and I'd rather that it was lightweight so that it packs down small & I can get warmth by layering underneath it, and obviously as breathable and waterproof as possible!

    Oh and there are not any decent shops near me to try on a good range so I am unfortunatly probably going to have to buy online (though I might try out the local bike shops in case).

    Cheers ...
