The Altura Nightvision Zephyr Stretch Jacket is designed for adult commuters and urban cyclists who need a versatile garment that performs on the bike while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic for casual wear. Its key benefits include a 10K/5K waterproof and breathable rating combined with strategic ventilation, ensuring comfort during active rides in changing weather. Please note that while the fabric is highly functional and provides stretch, its relaxed fit may feel slightly loose if you prefer a traditional aerodynamic cycling silhouette.

Yes, it features a 10K waterproof rating and taped seams, providing a high level of protection against rain.
While intended for commuting, the stretch fabric and ventilation make it suitable for various types of cycling, including mountain biking.
Use a technical wash specifically designed for outdoor gear on a gentle cycle, and avoid fabric softeners.
The jacket features two convenient hand pockets for storage, but it does not have specific internal organizational pockets.
The jacket is designed with a relaxed fit. If you prefer a very slim, athletic profile, you may want to consult the size guide carefully.
The tonal reflective print is subtle in daylight but highly effective when hit by headlights or streetlights in low-light conditions.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the garment with a technical laundry cleaner and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray.
Ensure the underarm and rear ventilation zones are unobstructed and adjust your base layers to better manage thermal regulation.
Wipe the reflective areas with a soft, damp cloth to remove road grime and debris that can accumulate during wet weather riding.
To ensure the longevity of your Altura Nightvision Zephyr, proper care is essential. Always follow the garment's wash tag instructions, typically suggesting a cool wash with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics; avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. To maintain its waterproof properties, you may need to re-apply a DWR spray treatment after several heavy washes or extended seasons of use. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a confined space to prevent mold or fabric degradation. The jacket is compatible with standard backpacks and messenger bags, though frequent friction from heavy straps on the shoulders may require more frequent re-treatment of the waterproofing in those specific areas.
