Staying dry on the bike is pretty essential, and for that you’re going to need a good waterproof motorcycle jacket. The best possible waterproof material on the market is the GORE-TEX membrane, guaranteed to keep you dry while retaining the breathability. These 5 waterproof GORE-TEX coats are my picks for the best bike jackets currently available from FortaMoto.
Whether you’re looking for a casual urban jacket such as the Rev’it! Trench, or an ultimate touring jacket such as the Rukka Realer (also know as the Nivala) – we have it all. All of the jackets presented in this video are guaranteed to be waterproof thanks to the GORE-TEX membranes.
GORE-TEX is a popular name in the world of motorcycle gear, and there’s a good reason for that. The advanced GORETEX (and GORE-TEX Pro) membranes are used in jackets, trousers, gloves, boots.. and actually in lots of other high performance garments – even outside the motorcycling world.
So what does GORETEX do? Basically it’s a fabric that repels waters, while still allowing water vapor to pass through. Rain can’t get in, but sweat can get out. It’s guaranteed to keep you dry, and that’s why we love it so much.
