Full details
The Endura Windchill Jacket II is a versatile, high-performance outer layer designed for cyclists who require thermal protection and wind resistance during blustery, cold-weather rides. It features a grid-backed thermal fabric that balances heat retention with moisture management, making it an excellent choice for road, gravel, or trail riders. While its windproof construction is highly effective at preventing heat loss, users should note that the integrated ventilation system is necessary for high-intensity efforts to prevent overheating.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is primarily designed for windproofing and warmth; while it may resist light drizzle, it is not a dedicated rain jacket.
Can I wear this for winter mountain biking?
Yes, the versatile design and stretch fabric make it well-suited for mountain biking in cold, dry conditions.
What should I wear underneath?
A cycling-specific base layer is recommended to assist with the jacket's moisture-wicking functionality.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the rear pockets are designed for cycling essentials, and the zipped security pocket is ideal for securing a phone or keys.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The jacket is cut for a cycling position; try it on while leaning forward to ensure there is no restrictive bunching at the shoulders.
Does it have any reflective elements?
Yes, it includes reflective trim to help increase visibility during low-light riding sessions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too hot during exertion
Fully unzip the underarm vents to increase airflow and allow moisture to escape.
Jacket riding up during the ride
Ensure the silicone gripper at the hem is in direct contact with your jersey or shorts to maximize grip.
Moisture buildup inside the jacket
Ensure you are using a technical base layer underneath rather than a cotton shirt to aid sweat transport.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's windproof capabilities, always wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the grid backing. For drying, air drying in a shaded, well-ventilated area is recommended to preserve the integrity of the silicone hem gripper and reflective materials. When checking compatibility, ensure the size L fits your frame by layering appropriately underneath; the jacket is designed for cycling-specific movement, so it should be slightly snug but not restrictive.
