"Gore-Tex"—a name everyone trusts without hesitation.
Gore Bike Wear, released by the German company behind "Gore-Tex," is now officially available for sale in Japan.
Since the materials used are primarily from Gore-Tex itself, the quality is guaranteed.
Moreover, because they can use their own materials directly, the products are slightly more affordable than items of the same level released by other brands.
In other words, the cost-performance is excellent.

Since the jacket is designed for cycling, it features a sleeker silhouette than standard outdoor wear.
Gore Bike Wear

Also, Gore Bike Wear's accessories are definitely worth noting.

The road model features a thin inner lining, making it an excellent product that provides windproofing, waterproofing, and warmth.
And as the name suggests, the other one, "UNIVERSAL CITY Overshoes," is a type designed for city riding or MTB use.
These kinds of shoe covers are very popular because they keep your feet warm during winter commutes.
Furthermore, these "UNIVERSAL CITY Overshoes" are multi-purpose items that can also be used on rainy days.
I've even thought about wearing these over regular shoe covers when it gets truly cold, but that might be asking a bit too much.
And one thing you can't forget as we head into the season is gloves.
Their lineup is also quite extensive.

I suspect that Gore Bike Wear—especially their accessories—will be in high demand once the season is in full swing.
