7mesh Oro Jacket Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
7mesh's Oro is a cycling-specific Gore-Tex rain jacket designed by former Arc'teryx engineers. The articulated pattern eliminates bunching in the riding position, and the drop-tail hem provides rear wheel spray coverage. Premium waterproof protection built specifically for the bike.
Who Is the 7mesh Oro Jacket Best For?
Serious cyclists who demand a proper-fitting waterproof jacket designed for the riding position. If that describes your riding style, the Oro Jacket should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Clothing & Apparel category alongside 13other products we've reviewed.
