FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. Use a mild technical cleaner and wash on a gentle cycle to preserve the waterproof membrane.

Can I wear this jacket while wearing a backpack?

Absolutely. The jacket features specific shoulder grip panels and underarm vent placement that is optimized for use with mountain biking backpacks.

Does the hood fit over a full-face helmet?

The hood is highly adjustable and designed for compatibility with most mountain bike helmets, though fit may vary depending on the specific profile of a full-face model.

What does the 3-layer construction mean?

3-layer construction sandwiches the waterproof membrane between a durable outer shell and an inner liner, creating a robust, long-lasting barrier against wind and rain.

Does the jacket come in other sizes?

Yes, this product is part of a larger range. While this specific unit is size L, other variants in the Endura MT500 series are available in various sizes and colors.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking through the outer layer

The DWR coating may be worn off. Tumble dry the jacket on a low setting or re-apply a DWR spray to restore water beading properties.

Zippers feel stiff or stuck

Clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush and water to remove dried mud or grit, then lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Breathability feels reduced

Ensure the garment is clean. A buildup of sweat, oils, or trail dirt can clog the pores of the membrane, requiring a thorough wash with technical cleaner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional waterproof rating for extreme weather
  • High breathability prevents overheating on climbs
  • Rugged construction stands up to trail debris and abrasion
  • Excellent ventilation system compatible with backpacks
  • Secure, adjustable fit with helmet-compatible hood

Cons

  • Design is strictly tailored for technical mountain biking
  • Higher price point compared to entry-level rain gear
  • Material has a stiffer feel due to the protective 3-layer construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, regular maintenance is required. Always wash the jacket in cold water using a technical gear cleaner rather than standard detergents, which can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Keep the zippers clean of grit and mud to maintain smooth operation of the water-repellent seals. The jacket is designed with a performance-oriented fit, so consider your layering needs; if you plan to wear thick mid-layers, ensure the fit allows for full range of motion. The helmet-compatible hood should be adjusted while wearing your helmet to ensure peripheral vision remains clear before you head out on the trail.
