Built with innovative Pertex Shield Air fabric, this jacket keeps you dry in heavy rain while allowing body moisture to escape, though its technical design is optimized primarily for active movement rather than casual, static wear.

FAQs
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than cycling?
Yes, while it is optimized for cycling, its breathable waterproof construction makes it suitable for running, hiking, or any high-output outdoor activity.
Does the hood fit over a cycling helmet?
Yes, the hood is fully adjustable and designed to be worn over or under a standard cycling helmet.
How should I wash my Zoa Rain Shell?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner. Do not use fabric softener, as it can clog the breathable membrane.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, the Zoa Rain Shell uses high-performance Pertex Shield Air fabric to provide comprehensive waterproof protection while remaining breathable.
Why does the jacket have two-way zips on the pockets?
The two-way zips allow the pockets to function as adjustable vents, letting you control airflow without compromising the protection of your items.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash the garment and apply a technical reproofing spray to restore beading.
Feeling damp inside despite no rain leaks
Ensure you are using the side pocket vents during high-intensity efforts to allow internal moisture vapor to escape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Pertex Shield Air membrane, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners. We recommend washing the jacket on a gentle cycle with a technical gear cleaner to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Ensure all zips are closed before washing. When fitting the jacket, the 'L' size is designed to fit a standard adult build; test the hood adjustability before your first ride to ensure the drawcord is set to your preferred tension with or without your helmet. The two-way zips should be operated smoothly to maintain the integrity of the aquaguard seal.
