The hardest part about riding in challenging, changing conditions in spring and fall is choosing the right kit. The GT Wind Jacket S11 solves that problem with the new Breaker textile, a breathable, windproof, and water-repellent woven material that covers the jacket’s front, back, and forward-facing panel of the sleeves. It also compresses to a smaller volume than previous model’s textile, so it can be stowed in a jersey pocket, only deploying when needed. Highly elastic, highly breathable inserts on the body’s sides and the sleeves’ inner arms improve fit, and the double-slider zipper lets you vent from top or bottom while easily accessing jersey pockets underneath.
The finer details
The front panel, back panel, and outwards facing surface of the sleeves feature Buster textile, a close-knit woven material reinforced with water repellency to block wind and light precipitation or road spray. The sides and inner sleeves are made of Sens Air, which adds additional elasticity and breathability in less-exposed areas.
