Fresh Goods Sunday - Gore C5 Optiline Short Sleeve Jersey

If you are a follower of this blog you know I do like Gore Bikewear. I have several Gore tops and the quality is always excellent. I found this model in the sale at the back end of last year but has been too cold to wear it over the winter & spring months. Well I finally managed to cut the tags off and get it on my back in the last month. Again the quality is very good. It is a thin top so I wear a sleeveless base layer underneath and gilet if there is a cool wind. The main reason for purchasing the top was due to the length of the sleeves. The longer length covers my skin graph on my upper arm a treat and keeps it out of the sun light. There are three back pockets and a smaller zipped pocket. There are a couple of small reflective strips at the sides of the rear pockets. The full zip on the front is smooth in operation and had no problems so far. The top washes well and due to the thin material dries very quick. As for the rrp well that is high but shop around like I did and you will grab a bargain.
RRP £79.99 and I paid £42.87
