Gore Fabrics is discontinuing its popular Gore-Tex Shakedry fabric due to ongoing supply challenges.

Gore is set to discontinue production and manufacturing of its highly popular Gore-Tex Shakedry material, according to reports. .

Unfortunately, the Gore-Tex Shakedry technology is no longer offered by Gore Fabrics due to ongoing supply challenges, but we are excited about the Gore-Tex Shakedry technology and therefore did invest into our inventory position last year to ensure we can offer it until the current inventory runs out.”.

💦 Rapha Shakedry Jacket (opens in new tab): 25% off (with Black Friday code) - UK & USA in limited sizes.

💦 Gore Wear C5 Shakedry Jacket (opens in new tab): 13% off in a decent range of sizes - USA.

Our understanding of the above statement is that once stocks of Shakedry products are gone, they will be gone for good, but that GoreWear - the brand's in-house consumer-facing brand of cycling clothing - has stockpiled the fabric to ensure it is able to continue serving its customers. .

The result of this is that competitor brands' Shakedry products will almost certainly be phased out of production.

"We’ve always had supply issues with the fabric," explained a representative of 7 Mesh - makers of the Oro Shakedry jacket.

Meanwhile, Castelli's UK distributor Saddleback explained that "From AW22, Castelli aren’t using Shakedry as the material is no longer available to 3rd parties." With that said, Castelli looks to already have a similar alternative available; the 'Slicker Pro' jacket is made using a material it describes as "two-layer ultralight 50 g/m2 waterproof breathable fabric with PFC-free external microporous polyurethane membrane.".

If you have been considering investing in a Gore-Tex Shakedry jacket, you may want to secure one before stocks run out.

If your hunt has already begun for a Shakedry jacket we do have a Rapha one included in our Rapha Black Friday deals hub.
