Built with 3-layer Pertex Shield fabric, it offers a superior balance of waterproof durability and breathability, though its technical build means it requires diligent care to maintain its weather-repelling properties over time.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, but always use a technical waterproof-specific cleaner and follow the care label instructions. Do not use fabric softeners.
Does the hood fit over a full-face helmet?
The hood is designed to be helmet-compatible, but fit can vary depending on the bulk of your specific helmet model.
Can I wear this jacket for hiking?
While optimized for mountain biking, its breathable and waterproof construction makes it an excellent choice for any high-intensity outdoor activity.
What does 3-layer fabric mean?
It means the waterproof membrane is bonded between an outer protective layer and an inner lining for maximum durability and comfort.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are mesh-lined for ventilation purposes; while they are protected by the outer shell, they are not sealed dry-bags, so avoid storing sensitive electronics.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof material
Ensure you are using the venting features during high-exertion climbs; the moisture inside is likely condensation from sweat, not rain penetration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, always follow the manufacturer's care labels. It is recommended to wash the garment with a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof membranes; avoid standard household detergents, which can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Periodically re-apply a DWR spray treatment once water stops beading on the surface of the fabric.
For storage, keep the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before folding to prevent moisture buildup within the 3-layer membrane. The jacket is designed to be worn over standard cycling jerseys and mid-layers, offering a performance fit that is compatible with most mountain bike gear and body armor.
