FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, it is constructed from 3-layer Pertex Shield fabric, which is designed to be fully waterproof and windproof.
Can I wear this for activities other than mountain biking?
While optimized for MTB, its technical features make it an excellent choice for hiking and general outdoor use where weather protection is required.
How do I wash the MT500 ADV jacket?
Follow the care label instructions: use a technical detergent, wash on a gentle cycle, and ensure it is rinsed thoroughly before air drying.
Does the hood interfere with visibility?
The hood is designed with multiple adjustment points to ensure it moves with your head, maintaining clear peripheral vision even when worn over a helmet.
What is the benefit of the popper system on the front zip?
The popper system allows you to keep the jacket securely closed while the zip is partially open, providing controlled airflow without the jacket flapping in the wind.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore performance.
Interior feels damp after a long ride
While the jacket is breathable, extreme exertion can exceed the membrane's output. Utilize the hand pocket vents and ensure your mid-layers are moisture-wicking synthetic materials rather than cotton.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior waterproof rating for extreme weather
- Excellent breathability through clever venting design

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Pertex Shield membrane, keep the jacket clean to prevent dirt and oils from clogging the pores. Use a technical fabric wash specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid using standard fabric softeners as these will degrade the water-repellent coating. When storing, ensure the garment is completely dry, and occasionally re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior fabric if water stops beading on the surface. The hood can be adjusted using the integrated drawstrings to fit over various MTB helmet profiles.
