FAQs

What temperature range is this jacket suitable for?

It is best suited for cold-weather rides, typically between 0°C and 12°C depending on your personal heat tolerance and base layer.

Is this jacket completely waterproof?

The jacket is water-resistant with taped seams and DWR treatment, meaning it will protect against road spray and light rain, but it is not a fully waterproof rain shell.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash on a cool setting (30°C) with technical laundry detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.

Does it have back pockets?

Yes, it is designed with standard cycling rear pockets for essential storage during long training rides.

Is the fit true to size?

It follows a strict race-fit design. If you prefer a more relaxed fit or intend to wear multiple layers, consider sizing up.

Troubleshooting

Water beading is no longer effective on the surface

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Wash the jacket thoroughly and apply a technical garment re-proofing spray to restore water repellency.

Feeling damp inside during high-intensity rides

Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool. Cotton base layers will hold sweat and prevent the jacket's fleece backer from performing its job.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent windproofing for frigid conditions
  • High-breathability grid fleece keeps sweat away from the body
  • Streamlined, professional race-fit profile
  • Effective water resistance against road spray and light rain
  • Minimalist aesthetic with premium construction

Cons

  • Tight race-fit may feel restrictive for some riders
  • Requires specific care to maintain DWR properties
  • Not intended for torrential downpours or extreme storms
  • Limited space for thick mid-layer garments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the technical fabrics, avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating and clog the membrane's breathability pores. Always wash the jacket in cold water using a mild, technical-specific detergent. Hang dry the garment away from direct sunlight or heat sources to protect the integrity of the taped seams. Regarding compatibility, the jacket is designed to integrate seamlessly with other items in the Pas Normal Studios Mechanism collection, ensuring a consistent fit across your cycling kit. When choosing your size, remember this is a race-fit garment; if you are between sizes or intend to wear a thick jersey underneath, opting for the larger size is recommended.
