Product Information

Full details

This Madison Flux jacket is designed for adult male cyclists seeking reliable protection from adverse weather without sacrificing mobility or packability. Its key benefit is offering robust waterproofing and wind resistance in an ultra-lightweight, easily storable package, perfect for unexpected downpours. A minor caveat is that while highly breathable, intense, prolonged high-output activities might still lead to some internal moisture buildup.

FAQs

How packable is this jacket?

The jacket is designed to be ultra-packable and can be compressed to fit neatly into a standard cycling jersey pocket when not in use.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, it features a resistant coating that repels road spray and heavy showers, providing effective protection against rain.

Can I wear this in warm weather?

While breathable, it is primarily designed for protection against weather. In very warm conditions, it may be too warm due to its protective coatings. It's best suited for cool or changeable weather.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

What does the '2-Layer' refer to?

The 2-layer construction typically refers to a waterproof and breathable membrane bonded between the outer fabric and an inner protective layer. This construction balances protection with comfort.

Will this jacket keep me warm?

The jacket provides wind resistance, which helps retain body heat and prevents chill. However, it is not an insulated jacket and is intended for protection against the elements, not for warmth in freezing temperatures.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The reflective inserts are designed to enhance visibility. Care should be taken during washing and drying to maintain their effectiveness. Avoid high heat.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside.

This can occur during high-intensity activity. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed but not strained. If the issue persists during moderate activity, the DWR coating may need reapplication.

Water is not beading off the surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then reapply a suitable DWR treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then rinse and dry. A silicone-based lubricant can also be applied sparingly.

Reflective elements are peeling or damaged.

Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to repair. Continued use with damaged reflective elements will reduce visibility.
