Gore Bike Wear has been doing jackets for longer than most and that experience shows in the Fusion, a windproof and water-resistance three-layer softshell made using Gore's Comfort Mapping Technology for a better fit. It's not short on features either with the bases covered; high fleece lined collar, dropped tail, ventilation ports, pockets aplenty, removable hood reflective details and an ergonomic fit.
