When Jose "Llargo", tester of Gobiktook it out of the box he thought: "I'm going to be cold". But no...
On the temperature thermometer of Gobikthe jacket Unisex “Armour"The jacket would be located in the lowest range, between -5 degrees and +10 degrees, but in the highest in technical evolution and performance.
We are talking about a garment at the crossroads of everything, its fabrics Neoshell® y Alpha® fabrics, both from the leading American brand Polartec®, provide unparalleled insulation and air exchange. In other words: they keep our body warm, without moisture during the entire outing, in addition to protecting us from rain or wind in an optimal way.
As we say, they combine performance against the cold and the feeling of lightness and fit that every cyclist is looking for. Heavy and uncomfortable winter clothing is a long time ago.
We were told by Ivan Basso, Giro d'Italia champion and ambassador of Gobikthat "clothing has a great influence on a cyclist's performance at all levels. Being comfortable and snug, with the right temperature, are important things for cycling" and this is achieved by the "Giro d'Italia".Armour”.
Performance on the move
Juan Antonio FlechaThe great specialist in classics, the great specialist in classics, took it out in a harsh winter in the Penedés, with humidity and more than a little cool, a cold that goes in and doesn't come out, so typical of the Catalan territory.
He put on the "ArmourMaybe I should have added one more layer," he tells us, "one more layer. Pacer would have been nice, but I was brave enough to see the capabilities of the garment, and it was good, very good. The jacket offers very good protection, plus it's flexible and comfortable. You're dry inside.
The Spanish champion Alberto Contador is looking forward to the versatility of the piece as the hours go by: "It allows you to go out at below zero and get as close as ten degrees and not have a major problem during the whole outing. It adapts to the thermometer, but its fit is very aero. We're talking about a pure winter jacket, which is very pleasant to the touch, with different layers for warmth".
Seal guarantee Polartec
“Polartec® is a well-known brand among mountain people, a group whose users know exactly what they need in extreme conditions. In that sense, the American firm gives a level of quality and innovation that is undoubtedly reflected in the jacket" continues Jose "Llargo".
From production of GobikAngel Lencina affirms that "this is one of the best textile suppliers in the world, being innovative and revolutionary. They are always researching and creating new technologies to keep improving".
Going back to the beginning, when you take it out of the box it looks like you're going to be cold, but no: "Once you're on the move, the feeling of protection is brutal, almost magical, because on a morning when you start at four below zero and go through all kinds of circumstances, even forcing a long climb, you put your hand in the jacket and it's always dry", a sensation courtesy of the Alpha® from Polartec®, an inner padding whose efficiency in handling heat and moisture is proven on the move.
Adaptable insulation
All this in addition to the double zipper, which allows us to create, if necessary, a forced ventilation, which flows through the jacket and is expelled through the upper opening of the back.
On the outside, the outer shell in Neoshell® "constitutes a protective shield against rain and wind, with a water column of 10,000 mm, a very serious figure, which ensures waterproofing," says Angel. And there is also the extra rear skirt, to avoid annoying splashes from the wheel in these situations.
All this protection and fit are given in a jacket, as we say, "light and flexible", whose main reason is to put degrees to winter, without penalizing the freedom of movement and breathability with the passage of kilometers.
Add to all this the eye-catcher: "The jacket attracted attention in the group," he concludes. Flecha-. The logo looks good.
