Product Information
Full details
The Albion All Road Rain Jacket is designed for dedicated cyclists who require reliable, lightweight protection during unpredictable weather. Built with a 3-layer Pertex Shield fabric, it offers professional-grade waterproofing and breathability, making it an ideal companion for long-distance rides or commuting in heavy rain. While it excels in performance, users should note that its specialized 'Triple Zip' system requires a brief learning curve compared to standard single-zipper rain gear.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it is constructed with a 3-layer Pertex Shield fabric with a 20,000mm water column rating, which is considered fully waterproof.
How do I use the Triple Zip system?
The Triple Zip features two side-by-side zippers. Use the main puller for standard closure and the second zipper to open the jacket from the bottom for ventilation.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, tumble drying on a low heat setting is actually recommended to help reactivate the DWR coating.
Is the jacket breathable enough for summer rain?
With a moisture vapour transmission rate of 20,000g/m2/day, it is highly breathable and suitable for various temperatures, especially when using the bottom-venting feature.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the jacket is manufactured without harmful perfluorinated chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly.
Is the fit true to size for cycling?
The jacket is engineered specifically for an on-bike position. If you prefer a looser fit for layering, consider checking the size chart against your measurements while in a cycling posture.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR water-repellency spray.
Triple Zip feels stuck or difficult to engage
Check for debris or grit caught in the zipper track. Clean with a soft brush and ensure both zippers are aligned before sliding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the jacket, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the C0 Durable Water Repellency (DWR) coating. It is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle and use a tumble dry on low heat, or re-apply a DWR spray treatment after washing to maintain its water-shedding properties. Because the fit is engineered for an on-bike position, try the jacket on while in a riding crouch to ensure the cuffs and hem sit correctly against your wrists and waist.
