Just in time for shoulder-season miles and wintry long runs, GOREWEAR has expanded its award-winning CONCURVE line with a new insulated jacket designed to tackle cold, wet, and unpredictable conditions, without compromising your comfort.
Launched today, the CONCURVE WINDSTOPPER® Insulated Jacket represents the next evolution of GOREWEAR’s performance layering system.
Available in three silhouettes: non-hooded ($260), hooded ($280), and vest ($200), this new line is all about staying warm without overheating, and dry without feeling clammy.
I have been testing out the hooded version this week and will have my review posted very soon; spoiler alert, I’m loving this one so far! Oh and GOREWEAR’s Concurve LE4 Gore-Tex running jacket is my favorite running jacket right now.
Inside-out engineering for real-world runners
At the core of this collection is GOREWEAR’s WINDSTOPPER® ePE membrane, paired with PrimaLoft® Active insulation and a DWR-treated outer face.
This inside-out layering system doesn’t just block wind and resist light rain, it actively works with your pace.
When you’re standing still or starting slow, it traps warmth close to your body. As you build intensity, the air-permeable face fabric allows buffered airflow to circulate, letting heat escape before sweat builds up. Smart!
The result is a consistently regulated body climate, whether you’re jogging easy miles or hitting tempo pace in sub-zero conditions.
That’s not just theory, it’s been tested under real-world conditions, earning the jacket another ISPO Award in GOREWEAR’s growing trophy case.
Built for movement, not bulk
Thoughtful construction ensures this jacket performs like a second skin.
Stretch zones under the arms, GOREWEAR’s Kinetic Garment Design, and body-mapped insulation in high-exposure zones help preserve mobility and range of motion.
The fit is trim without being restrictive, and all versions (including the new CONCURVE Thermo Hybrid Tights) move with your stride, not against it.
The new CONCURVE line is clearly designed by athletes who understand the nuances of layering for real weather.
There’s no crinkly bulk. No overheating on hill climbs. Just consistent, breathable protection from a brand that’s been engineering high-performance apparel for decades.
Also new from GOREWEAR:
- CONCURVE Thermo Hybrid Jacket ($150): A versatile midlayer with wind-resistant core panels, ideal for transition seasons or layering beneath the CONCURVE outer shell.
- CONCURVE Thermo Hybrid Tights (Men’s / Women’s) ($130): GOREWEAR’s warmest tights yet, featuring double-weave wind protection on the front thighs and stretch thermal knit fabric for dynamic movement.
Whether you’re logging winter training blocks or chasing PRs in unpredictable fall weather, the new CONCURVE WINDSTOPPER Insulated Jacket gives runners a breathable barrier against the cold — and a reminder that comfort doesn’t have to be sacrificed in the name of performance.
