GORE-TEX® PACLITE® Shell

Most outdoor activities these days require so much gear that by the time you’ve finished gathering it all together, there’s little room for anything else. Often times a jacket or pair of pants get left behind because it just won’t fit. For example, cyclists only have a small bag behind the seat to fit necessities like a spare tube and a hand pump and backpackers must fit as much food as possible into their packs for long trips, so extra space is scarce and must be wisely used. Our women’s GORE-TEX® PACLITE® Shell is ideal for situations like these where weight and space are critical. The GORE-TEX® PACLITE® Shell combines extreme breathability and durable wind- and waterproofness, with minimum weight and pack volume. With GORE-TEX® PACLITE® Shell, there’s no need to sacrifice because there’s not enough room—you can travel light and still be protected from wind, rain and the cold.

The key to our women’s GORE-TEX® PACLITE® Shell is the special GORE-TEX® membrane that is covered by a protective layer of an oleophobic (oil-hating) substance and carbon, which makes a separate lining unnecessary. With this intelligent design, we achieved a shell that is not only waterproof and breathable, but lightweight, packable and versatile as well.

The PACLITE® Shell line of women’s GORE-TEX® jackets and other garments also includes the following features:

GORE™ Comfort Mapping® Technology: Intelligent garment design maps the body into different climatic zones and then combines GORE-TEX® fabrics to increase breathability, comfort, warmth, and/or fit, precisely where needed most.

Extreme Wet Weather Construction: Constructed to deliver unmatched protection against extended vertical and horizontal wind-driven rain conditions.

With breathability, waterproof and windproof protection, plus lightweight packability, women’s GORE-TEX® PACLITE® Shells prove once again that good things really do come in small packages.
