As every trail runner knows, anyone looking to test their limits needs to be well equipped. With variable weather conditions, terrain and temperatures, trail running can be extremely unpredictable. That’s why it’s imperative runners prepare well and pack the right equipment.

Purpose-built for the requirements of trail running, the GORE® R7 GTX SHAKEDRY™ Trail Hooded Jacket is the most robust SHAKEDRY™ jacket to date. Runners need no longer worry about wearing a light backpack over the top of their jacket or causing tears by brushing past branches and shrubbery. Also new is a seamless shoulder construction and central torso area to create maximum comfort when worn with a light backpack.

In line with all of GORE’s SHAKEDRY™ garments, the jacket is totally waterproof, extremely breathable, lightweight and ultra packable – stowing away into the front chest pocket. Available in two colourways; Pacific Blue and Black Lava Grey, the GORE® R7 GTX SHAKEDRY™

Trail Hooded Jacket includes stretchable inserts at the cuffs to allow easy use of a GPS watch, a full length zipper with tags for easy opening and reflective details on all sides for 360 degree visibility.

Commenting on the new jacket, undefeated OCR World Champion and current Ultra Skyrunning World Champion, Jonathan Albon said: “The GORE® R7 SHAKEDRY™ Trail Hooded Jacket really is the perfect accomplice for any adventure run. Now abrasion and tear resistant, this has to be one of the most functional jackets out there. Being waterproof, lightweight, breathable, packable and visible – it’s become my go-to jacket for any kind of outdoor adventure.”
