FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the 15k/15k fabric provides excellent wind protection, serving as a reliable barrier against windchill.

Can I wear this for mountain biking?

The jacket's durable construction and relaxed fit make it suitable for off-road riding, though the reflective panels are best utilized on road-based commutes.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the breathability.

Does it have enough room for layers?

The relaxed fit is specifically designed to accommodate thermal base layers or jerseys underneath.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is fully removable if you prefer a streamlined fit around the collar.

What is the benefit of 15k/15k fabric?

The first number indicates the water resistance pressure, and the second indicates breathability; 15k/15k is considered a high-performance standard for active sports.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR treatment has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a technical fabric reproofing spray.

Build-up of sweat inside the jacket during mild weather

Ensure the underarm and back vents are fully open to maximize airflow.

Hood feels unstable in high winds

Adjust the drawstring closures for a tighter fit or remove the hood if visibility is clear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent 360-degree visibility for increased safety
  • High waterproof and breathability rating
  • Well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup inside
  • Practical storage options for long rides
  • Comfortable relaxed fit

Cons

  • Relaxed fit is less aerodynamic for speed-focused riders
  • Can be bulky when packed into a jersey pocket
  • Reflective panels require specific care to maintain integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof coating, avoid washing the jacket with harsh biological detergents or fabric softeners. It is recommended to wash the jacket in cool water and hang it to dry naturally. Periodically reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray will help maintain the fabric's ability to bead water. When riding, use the removable hood only when necessary, as the stiffened peak can catch the wind at higher speeds. The relaxed fit is compatible with most standard cycling bibs and jerseys, providing ample freedom of movement while in a drop-bar or flat-bar riding position.
