Engineered with the high-performance ExoShell40DR 3-layer fabric, this jacket offers a superior balance of waterproof capability and breathability for high-intensity riding. While it provides industry-leading durability for technical trails, potential buyers should note that its specialized mountain bike geometry may feel slightly different than a standard commuter or road cycling jacket.

FAQs
Can I wash this jacket in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but use a technical apparel wash rather than standard detergent, and select a gentle cycle with cool water.
Is the hood large enough for a full-face helmet?
The hood is designed to be 3D adjustable and fits most standard MTB helmets. It may be tight over a very large full-face helmet.
How should I re-waterproof this jacket?
Once the DWR coating fades, use a reputable wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatment designed for technical membrane fabrics.
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the 3-layer construction is inherently windproof, providing excellent protection against cold mountain winds.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The front pockets are designed with water-repellent zips, but for sensitive electronics, it is always best to use a waterproof internal dry bag or case.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Feeling overheated despite using the vents.
Ensure that your base layers are moisture-wicking and not cotton. Cotton traps sweat and makes the breathability of the jacket less effective.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the ExoShell40DR fabric, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Always wash the jacket in cool water with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments, avoiding traditional fabric softeners which can clog the breathable pores. When the water-repellent coating starts to lose its effectiveness, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. For storage, keep the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before folding to prevent any degradation of the seam-sealed tape. The jacket is designed for a standard L fit, providing enough room for light layering underneath without restricting your range of motion.
