FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for general road cycling?

While it can be used on a road bike, the cut and features are specifically optimized for the upright-to-aggressive geometry of mountain biking.

Can I wear this with a backpack?

Yes, the jacket includes silicone grip shoulder panels to keep your backpack straps securely in place and prevent material wear.

How do I wash the jacket without damaging the waterproof membrane?

Use a dedicated technical gear cleaner and avoid fabric softeners. Always follow the specific care instructions printed on the garment label.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the front pockets are designed to hold standard trail essentials, including most modern smartphones.

What does 'ExoShell40DR' mean?

ExoShell40DR is Endura's proprietary high-performance 3-layer fabric designed to be both highly waterproof and extremely breathable for intense athletic output.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric surface rather than beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer.

Feeling damp inside despite the jacket being waterproof

This is often due to internal condensation rather than external leaks. Increase airflow by opening the underarm zips or shedding an inner layer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior breathability at 40,000g rating
  • Excellent waterproofing for heavy rain
  • Well-thought-out ventilation system
  • Highly durable construction with reinforced panels
  • Thoughtful rider-specific pocket layout

Cons

  • Requires specialized washing to maintain DWR coating
  • Professional performance comes at a premium price point
  • Fit is optimized for riding position rather than casual wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket performs as intended, always adjust the 3D hood while wearing your helmet to achieve the correct tension. Use the side-cinch cords to refine the fit around your torso to prevent flapping at high speeds.

For care, the MT500 uses a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. To maintain this:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner.
  2. Avoid using traditional laundry detergents or fabric softeners, as these clog the breathable membranes.
  3. Periodically re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment to keep water beading on the surface.
  4. Tumble dry on low heat or follow the internal tag instructions to reactivate the water-repellent properties.
