Full details
The Endura Hummvee Windproof Shell Jacket is designed for adult adventurers seeking versatile protection against the elements, whether on or off the bike. Its key benefit is providing windproof and element protection in an ultra-lightweight, packable design with enhanced visibility.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which helps shed light rain and splashes. It is windproof and offers protection from light precipitation, but it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy downpours.
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for protection against wind and light rain or drizzle. It's best suited for cool to mild conditions where wind is a factor, or as an outer shell over insulating layers.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The jacket is available in sizes S, M, L, XL, and XXL. Consider your typical fit preferences and whether you plan to wear it over thicker layers.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is designed to be concealed and has an adjustment for a secure fit, but it is not removable.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Re-apply DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.
What does 'Guidance weight: 130g' mean?
This refers to the approximate weight of the jacket in a specific size (likely medium). The actual weight will vary slightly depending on the size you choose. It highlights the jacket's very lightweight construction.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed for durability during normal use. To preserve them, avoid excessive rubbing, harsh detergents, and direct high heat during washing or drying.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses water repellency
Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical wash to remove any dirt or residue that may be hindering the DWR. If repellency does not return, re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to ensure smooth operation.
Reflective trims are peeling or damaged
Avoid harsh scrubbing or ironing directly on the reflective trims. If minor peeling occurs, a fabric glue may offer a temporary fix, but significant damage may compromise visibility.
