I wonder how it will deal with daily abuse, because it looks very fragile

Interesting that you say that because to me it looks stronger than a zipper with teeth - I'm always having problems with zippers coming apart!

Q: Does it also hold heat in for winter riding?

[wbwvids]

Good question, I imagine that the Gore Lockout will "hold heat" better than any zipper.

The zipper or closure isn't really what blocks the wind; it's the placket underneath the zipper or closure that does the blocking.

But since the Gore closure is water- and wind-proof, I'd guess it has to do a much better job of keeping out the cold air and keeping the warmth inside.

The manufacturer of the jacket would still have to ensure that a proper placket and liner is in place also.

Thanks for a quick and informative answer! =^D I'll check this jacket out!

Just to clarify, it's not a jacket, it is a new technology for a closure system for a jacket, air vent or pocket that some manufacturers will incorporate into their products in 2010.

I think it is great that Gore are working on technology that will help us bikers, lets hope other manufacturers follow suit.

Ahhhh, I see!  Thanks for the clarification!
