FAQs

What is ExoShell40DR fabric?

ExoShell40DR is Endura's advanced 3-layer fabric technology, offering exceptional breathability (40,000 g/m²/24hr) and waterproofness (up to 20,000) combined with durability, while remaining environmentally friendly.

Is this jacket suitable for winter riding?

Yes, the jacket is waterproof and windproof, providing excellent protection. For very cold conditions, layer appropriate insulating garments underneath.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofing?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical wash or liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. After washing, tumble dry on low or hang dry, and consider re-applying a DWR treatment.

Can I wear a backpack with this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is designed with backpack compatibility in mind. The underarm vents extend slightly onto the back, and the shoulders have silicone grip to help keep a pack in place.

What does 'MadeKind' certified mean?

MadeKind certification indicates that the fabric is produced without toxic PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals), making it safer for both the user and the environment.

Does the jacket have reflective elements?

The jacket typically includes subtle reflective details for low-light visibility, but it is primarily designed for performance and protection.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Endura typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Endura website or contact your retailer for specific warranty terms and duration.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels clammy inside

Ensure underarm vents and front pockets are open during high exertion. Check that the jacket's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is still effective; if not, re-apply.

Water is penetrating seams

Verify that all seams are fully sealed. If damage is suspected, contact customer support. Ensure the outer fabric is clean, as dirt can affect performance.

Hood adjustment is difficult

Familiarize yourself with the 3D hood adjustment system. Pull toggles firmly to tighten and release them to loosen. Ensure the hood is correctly positioned over your helmet.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to dry, then apply a silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax.
