Product Information

Full details

This jacket is for male adult cyclists seeking reliable protection from wind and rain without sacrificing packability. Its key benefit is offering a waterproof, wind-resistant barrier that easily stows in a jersey pocket, ensuring comfort during unpredictable weather. A potential caveat is that while highly breathable, intense, prolonged exertion in very warm, humid conditions might still lead to some moisture buildup for some riders.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme downpours?

The jacket has a 10k waterproof rating, making it suitable for heavy showers and road spray. For prolonged exposure to extreme, continuous rainfall, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be considered, but this jacket offers excellent protection for most cycling conditions.

How small does it pack down?

It is designed to be 'ultra packable' and fits neatly into a standard cycling jersey pocket, making it very convenient to carry when not in use.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

Yes, the wind-resistant properties help keep out the cold. It's designed to be worn over a base layer or jersey, and you can add warmer layers underneath for colder conditions.

What is the warranty period?

The jacket is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty from Madison, reflecting their commitment to product quality and aftercare.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?

Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.

What does '2-layer construction' mean?

A 2-layer construction typically involves a waterproof and breathable membrane bonded to an outer fabric. A separate inner lining may be present or absent, offering a balance of protection, breathability, and weight.

Are the reflective inserts durable?

The reflective inserts are designed to be durable for normal use. Regular washing according to care instructions will help preserve their reflectivity over time.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repels water effectively

The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.

Reduced breathability or internal condensation

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Check that all vents and openings are clear. For prolonged high-exertion activities in humid conditions, some internal moisture is normal.

Fit feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch fabric offers mobility, but check that underlayers are not excessively bulky.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. Simply unpack, unfold, and wear. Ensure the cuffs, hem, and collar are adjusted for a snug fit to maximize weather protection.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for cycling, it is compatible with standard cycling apparel. Its unisex design makes it suitable for anyone prioritizing lightweight, packable rain protection. Available in multiple sizes.

Care: To maintain the jacket's performance and water repellency:

Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can damage the DWR coating and waterproof membrane.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
Re-waterproofing: Periodically, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need replenishing. Use a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofer designed for technical outdoor gear, following product instructions. Always clean the garment before re-waterproofing.
