Full details
The Fox Ranger 2.5L Water MTB Jacket is a versatile, high-performance outerwear piece designed for mountain bikers who refuse to let wet weather cancel their ride. Featuring a 5K/5K waterproof and breathable membrane, this jacket offers an excellent balance of weather protection and airflow for high-intensity activity. While it excels at shedding mud and rain, riders should note that its lightweight 2.5-layer construction is optimized for packability, meaning it prioritizes agility over heavy-duty insulation in extreme sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the 2.5-layer construction acts as a highly effective windbreaker during cool, blustery rides.
Can I wear this jacket for non-cycling activities?
While designed for MTB, its sleek look and functional features make it excellent for hiking and casual outdoor use.
How should I clean the jacket after a muddy ride?
Rinse off large clumps of mud, then machine wash on a delicate cycle with a mild, technical detergent.
Does it have a chest pocket?
No, it features two secure front hand pockets for storage.
Will the hood fit over a full-face helmet?
It is designed to fit most standard trail helmets; it may be too tight for bulky full-face mountain bike helmets.
What does 5K/5K mean?
It is a technical rating indicating the fabric can withstand 5,000mm of water pressure and allow 5,000g of water vapor to escape per square meter.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside during high-exertion rides
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers to assist with the jacket's breathability process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains effective, follow these care guidelines:
- Compatibility: This jacket is tailored for mountain biking. The cut accommodates riding positions (longer back, sleeves) and fits over most standard mountain bike helmets.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a technical gear wash to protect the membrane.
- Re-treating DWR: If water stops beading on the surface, use a spray-on DWR treatment to restore the water-shedding performance.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a dry area. Avoid folding it tightly for long periods to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
