Gore-Tex PacLite is the most breathable and lightest of the Gore-Tex waterproof fabrics and as it's name suggests it packs away small and light. The Alpine is superb, the fit is fantastic, it is neat and body skimming but not at all restrictive, giving good freedom of movement, whatever your cycling style. Order to fit, if you are a size 8, go for XS, this will allow a good warm layer underneath, you do not need size up. Size 10 is small, size 12 is a medium etc. A top seller at the London Tri show. Voted Highly Recommended in What Mountain Bike, Cycling Plus and Cycling Weekly, a versatile investment piece that will last for years. This seasons Bluebell and Navy is a good bright blue, not too pale or washed out, will stand up to mud and be seen quite easily.
