The new GORE-TEX® Active Jacket features an outer surface that permanently repels water. It really needs to be seen to be believed - water beads on the surface - but you can shake and dispel the water immediately - no wetting out just total protection. It is also the lightest and most breathable GORE-TEX® cycling jacket available. Work as intensely as possible and still excess vapour will escape leaving you completely dry inside. The tight race fit prevents excess flapping at speed, maximising your performance in wet weather.
The new jacket is fully waterproof, windproof, very packable and maintains the wearing comfort in a broad range of weather conditions by working to reduce sweat accumulation in high aerobic activities. Uniquely designed, the technology eliminates the face fabric, preventing absorption of water in order to maintain comfort during high aerobic activities allowing the wearer to leave the garment on – rain or shine.
With protection backed by the GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™ promise, GORE-TEX® Active Products with a new water beading surface provide advanced comfort and performance.
Revolutionary Construction Uniquely designed, the technology eliminates the face fabric, preventing absorption of water. Cyclists will not experience the chilling effect that can result from a wetted out face fabric and the garment weight does not increase from rain.
The Most Breathable Extremely breathable construction reduces sweat accumulation and speeds vapour transport.
Exceptionally Lightweight and Great Packability The lightest waterproof, windproof, breathable GORE-TEX® product available. The materials being used and the garment design ensures low pack volume.
Shake Dry Surface Water beads on the surface so a few quick shakes of the garment renders the surface dry.
Advanced Matte Black Look The unique material and matte black design gives the jacket a new and unexpected look.
Waterproof cycle jackets can improve your comfort levels on the bike considerably when the weather turns nasty. Factors such as wind resistance and high breathability are important if you will be riding at a high pace over a fair distance, along with wearing a good quality base or mid layer to help with wicking moisture away from your skin. Waterproof cycle jackets with hi tech fabrics such as GoreTex and eVent are well worth paying a little extra for, if you require high levels of breathability, this will improve protection, dryness and comfort on longer rides in poor conditions.

I used the One jacket in cold but dry conditions to test its breathability. There are no mechanical vents on the jacket save the main chest zipper, but in sub-freezing temps, I found the jacket seemed to move perspiration more quickly than a conventional waterproof-breathable would, if not quite as well as does a softshell.
The One jacket is most clearly meant for wet weather. I tested the jacket on numerous wet rides.The permanent beading surface is impressive; give your arm a shake, for example, and the water simply falls right off, leaving a mostly dry surface.
If you're a committed roadie it's an exceptional jacket that will keep you dry in the wettest of weather.
Good things come in small packages. The Gore's unique fabric creates permanent beading so water simple rolls off. This durable outer surface is the membrane so there's no need for a DWR-treated external layer, which keeps weight to a minimum. It feels good against bare skin but isn't stretchy. Breathability is the best in test and Gore claims the One will remain 100 percent waterproof for its entire life. It has a slim cut, tall soft collar, zip pocket and drop tail. Being picking, the tail could be longer and the cuffs tighter, but it delivers on high-end performance.
Made from Gore’s new Active Gore-Tex fabric, which uses a “Permanent Beading Surface” on the outside of the jacket, it eliminates the need for a DWR coating — meaning the fabric can be reduced from three to two layers. This results in a completely waterproof garment that retains the breathability that Gore-Tex clothing is famous for. Other features include a full-length waterproof zip, a high neck, long cuffs and zipped valuables pocket. It is hard to fault, but if I were to nitpick, I would like a slightly longer tail to protect my bum from road spray and some more reflective/visibility features. There are technological hurdles to overcome with regards to printing hi-visibility features on the Gore One fabric. The most technologically advanced jacket on test is also the best performing, and crucially, it retains its waterproofing. Other jackets lose their DWR, becoming less waterproof over time. Add to that low weight and superb packability, and this jacket wins hands down.
Here it is then, Gore-Tex's brand new One Active waterproof jacket, its latest weapon in the battle against the rain...One Active is its latest fabric. It has completely redesigned its previous Active waterproof fabric with a new manufacturing process that creates a lighter, more breathable and packable waterproof jacket...Fundamental to the new fabric is what the company calls a "Permanent Beading Surface", which replaces the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment that was previously used. It has allowed Gore to reduce the fabric construction down from three to two layers, so it's lighter and more packable while retaining the required waterproof levels...The new development ensures the jacket is waterproof and windproof, like the previous Active fabric, but because it's now just two layers, it's a much lighter jacket - it weighs just 130g. That compares to 208g for a Gore Active jacket we tested a little while ago...It's not bristling with details, but there are the essentials. These include a zipped chest pocket which doubles as a stowaway pouch, a dropped tail, elasticated waistband and cuffs, and a full-length zipper with a small zip garage to prevent irritation of the neck. There are a some reflective details as well...All those advances don't come cheap, mind...Another limitation is that it's currently only available in this one colour. That's due to the manufacturing process of the fabric...My first experience using the new jacket came during a ride home from the club chain gang. The weather had been horrid, strong winds and the threat of rain and hail. I had been wearing a long sleeve base layer and softshell jacket throughout the chain gang. I was a perfect temperature. For the ride home, the heavens opened and a rather cold rain/slush was now falling heavily. Wearing the jacket for the ride home, it kept me completely dry and protected from the wind... But what really struck me was how breathable it was. Despite the three layers I was now wearing, and the brisk pace I was riding at, I didn't immediately overheat...nd then there is the lack of bulk. It feels like wearing a jacket made of cling film, it's that light...The fit is similarly excellent. I'm wearing a size small and it fits like it has been tailored for me...And yes it packs down very small. You can easily roll it up very tightly, and it takes up half a jacket pocket. There's no excuse not to carry it with you any on a ride when the weather is looking a bit dodgy.
Lightweight, packable and very breathable, the latest Gore-Tex makes a good first impression
Unlike conventional Gore-Tex jackets where the waterproof/breathable membrane is sandwiched between other layers of fabric, the One Gore-Tex Active membrane is the shell... effectively removing one-third of a jacket's material makes the remainder extremely light...Moreover, it packs down incredibly small, easily fitting into a jersey pocket with room to spare...Gore says the new jacket is also the most breathable it's ever created by a fair margin
We now have samples on two continents for long-term testing and with plenty of precipitation on the immediate horizon, we should have ample opportunity to see how this thing holds up. Stay tuned.
