Product Information
Full details
The Endura MT500 Polartec Jacket is a premium thermal midlayer engineered for mountain bikers who ride through challenging winter conditions. It provides exceptional warmth and temperature regulation thanks to its high-quality Polartec fleece, while strategically placed stretch panels guard against wind and trail spray. While it excels as a high-performance insulating layer, it is not a fully waterproof outer shell and may require an additional rain layer in sustained downpours.

FAQs
Is the Endura MT500 Polartec Jacket waterproof?
No, it is designed for thermal insulation and wind resistance. It provides some water repellency, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated waterproof rain jacket.
Can I wear the hood over my helmet?
The hood is designed to be worn under your helmet for the best fit and insulation.
What is the best way to clean this jacket?
Wash it in a machine at 30°C using a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners to protect the fleece material.
Does it have enough storage for a phone and tools?
Yes, it features large hand pockets and an external chest pocket designed to store small trail essentials safely.
Is this jacket suitable for casual wear?
While intended for mountain biking, its stylish design and comfort make it suitable for casual outdoor activities in cold weather.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside during intense riding
Ensure you are using a technical moisture-wicking base layer underneath. Avoid cotton base layers which trap moisture.
Wind penetrating through the jacket
Confirm that the wind-resistant panels are correctly aligned over high-exposure areas and that all zippers are fully closed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of the Polartec fleece, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool setting (30°C/86°F) using a mild detergent.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners or bleaching agents, as these can clog the technical fibers and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the stretch panels.
- Compatibility: The slim, under-helmet hood is compatible with most standard trail MTB helmets. Ensure the jacket is zipped fully to utilize the protective collar, which keeps the neck insulated during winter rides.
