I’ve recently lost a sleeve from my Gore Alp-X 2.0 jacket (they zip off) and Gore don’t sell spare sleeves. 😥
I bloody love that jacket, it seems to keep me the right temperature all the time and fits me closely without being too tight. Wasn’t too thick or sweaty (I run fairly warm) and did me right down to winter temps with just a merino underneath, reasonably water resistant and quick drying too. Crashed in it a few times and it still looked new.
Sadly, Gore don’t make it anymore and the replacement MTB stuff doesn’t have zip-off sleeves (which I ended up using a lot).
Which softshells does everyone else swear by? Give me some recommendations! The Gore Phantom looks good, but it’s a road jacket and sounds like it’s thinker/warmer than the Alp-X, so I’m worried it’ll be too warm and not as hard wearing (which, if I’m spending up to £150 on a jacket, it needs to be right!).
Any info greatly appreciated,
