I was wearing a \u201cwater-resistant\u201d shell, and so naturally, within a few seconds I was wet to the skin. So I squelched miserably into the first bike shop I could find, where a friendly and knowledgeable sales associate suggested that I buy a Gore-Tex jacket. The Gore company invented waterproof fabrics decades ago. Other people have copied them since then, but they remain the gold standard.<\/p>\n<h3>The <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2jtt591\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell is <strong>Not <\/strong>Cheap<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>When I heard the lightweight Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell cost more than some bikes I have bought in my time (I paid $300, but you can often <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1nG2Bzn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">get it cheaper on Amazon<\/a>).\u00a0 I was reluctant to buy it. I was persuaded by Maggie reminding me that I frequently bike in the rain, and by the sales associate who promised me that the <strong>Gore Bike Wear Paclite<\/strong> would magically keep me dry, due to its advanced waterproof technology. And also by the fact that I was soaked, freezing and shivering.<\/p>\n<p>When I tried on the Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell, it fit like a glove and looked kind of cool (a lot of bike wear <strong>really<\/strong> doesn\u2019t), so I forked over $300. However, I warned the associate that if so much as a drop of rain touched my skin, I would be back by the end of the day to demand my 300 bucks back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>I still have my Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every cyclist needs a perfect waterproof shell in his or her pannier, and that&#8217;s where the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2jtt591\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell is pretty much unrivaled<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t<table class=\"ajc-ad-product-table center\">\n\t\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t\t<tr><td colspan=2><strong>Buy it now!<\/strong> Find the best price for <strong>Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n\t\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t\t<tbody>\n\n\t\t\t<tr><td class=\"ajc-ad-product-merchant\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tt=cl&mi=11465&pw=185386&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.competitivecyclist.com%2Fgore-bike-wear-element-gt-paclite-jacket-mens%3Fskidn%3DGBW004D-NEOYL-XL%26ti%3DU2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM6R29yZSBCaWtlIFdlYXIgUGFjbGl0ZSBTaGVsbDoxOjE6R29yZSBCaWtlIFdlYXIgUGFjbGl0ZSBTaGVsbA%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\">Competitive Cyclist<\/a><\/td><td>$<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"ajc-ad-product-merchant\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tt=cl&mi=10060&pw=185386&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.backcountry.com%2Fgore-bike-wear-element-gt-paclite-jacket-mens%3Fskid%3DGBW004D-NEOYL-XL%26ti%3DU2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM6R29yZSBCaWtlIFdlYXIgUGFjbGl0ZSBTaGVsbDoxOjE6R29yZSBCaWtlIFdlYXIgUGFjbGl0ZSBTaGVsbA%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\">Backcountry.com<\/a><\/td><td>$<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t.ajc-ad-product-table {\n\t\t\t\twidth: 380px;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.ajc-ad-product-table.center {\n\t\t\t\tdisplay: block;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 20px auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.ajc-ad-product-table.left {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 5px 20px 20px 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.ajc-ad-product-table.right {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: right;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 5px 0 20px 20px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\n\t\t\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=ajc58-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B00Z78W23S&amp;asins=B00Z78W23S&amp;linkId=35NTXYVV4EELZ7I4&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>The Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell is 100% WaterPROOF<\/h3>\n<p>Yup, my Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell turned out to be 100% water proof. Although we were out for another four hours in the rain, <strong>not a drop of water touched my skin<\/strong> (not on my upper body, anyway). This is definitely what I LOVE about my Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell \u2013 I am no longer afraid of being caught in the rain. I know I will cycle happily to and from work, never getting soaked and miserable \u2013 at least from the waist up, and that\u2019s the most important part, when it comes to staying warm (and alive, when temperatures plummet and it&#8217;s really not wise to be outdoors while soaking wet).<\/p>\n<h3>Other Things about the Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell: Reflective Stripes, Pockets and Durability<\/h3>\n<p>My <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2jtt591\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell<\/a> is black, with reflective stripes. There is no ventilation \u2013 this Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell is all about keeping you dry. It can get a little too warm at times \u2013 but I can put up with that.\u00a0 It\u2019s so much better than the opposite (freezing to death). The Gore Bike Wear Paclite Shell has the usual handy lower back pocket for keys, phone and snack. It also has a zippered pocket just below the collar bone that I find very useful for an iPhone. The zippers all work well and smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>One more really cool thing: according to the sales associate, the more times I wash my Gore Bike Wear Paclite, the MORE water proof it will be. Awesome!<\/p>\n<p>Note that the beading of water on the jacket is due to the fact that the jacket is treated with a durable water repellant (DWR) that causes water to bead. This is a great thing to see on your sleeves as you are riding \u2013 rain falls on you, but then it beads together into big lumps, which do not penetrate the fabric. You can brush the lumps off. Over time the DWR layer start to wear off, but you can rejuvenate it by running the jacket through your washing machine. If it wears off completely, you can spray on a fresh layer of DWR.
