Fresh Good Sunday - Gore Bike Wear Countdown 3.0 Thermo Jersey

I bought this jersey probably about a year ago in the sales and has been in the cupboard for along time as I have been wearing my thicker thermal wind stopper jacket over winter months. I have since then cut the labels off and have worn it several times over the last few months as the weather has been very mixed. As you probably know I like Gore Bike Wear tops and this one is no different. The feel, cut and build of the jersey is fantastic but a little on the large side so mainly use it for off road (even though Gore claim Slim Fit design) as its not fitted enough for the road and flaps around alittle unless I have a gillet on. There is a zipped pocket in the middle to the rear and one large pocket either side of that. Some reflective piping and logos. The rrp was £80 but many shops are selling them off now.

Glossary:

Thermoregulation

Body temperature plays an important role in athletic performance. If the body cools down, the muscles do not receive a sufficient blood supply. As a result, accidents and deterioration in performance can occur. The materials used for temperature control are highly wicking on the inside, offer ideal insulation and are extremely soft to the touch. Rapid escape of perspiration prevents the body from cooling down due to evaporation and the fabric from sticking to the skin. In this way, you can keep your body warmer and drier.
