FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed from 3-layer, fully seam-sealed ExoShell40DR fabric, which is designed to keep you dry in heavy, persistent rain.

Can I wear this for road cycling?

While technically a mountain bike jacket, it can be used for road cycling, though it has a looser, more ergonomic cut designed for the specific body positions of mountain biking.

Does it include a warranty?

Endura offers a standard manufacturing warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

How should I clean my MT500 jacket?

Machine wash in warm water using a specialized technical cleaner. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is integrated into the jacket to maintain the integrity of the waterproof seal, but it is highly adjustable to stay out of the way when not in use.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are designed for weather resistance, but they also serve as ventilation, so it is recommended to keep sensitive electronics in the internal hidden pocket.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

Ensure you are using the underarm vents during high-exertion efforts to manage internal heat and moisture buildup.

Zipper feels stiff

Clean dirt and grit from the zipper teeth using a soft brush and water to ensure smooth operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional breathability during high-intensity climbing
  • Highly durable material withstands trail abrasion and heavy gear
  • Smart ventilation design compatible with backpacks
  • Environmentally friendly fabric construction
  • Comprehensive protection from rain and wind

Cons

  • Higher price point reflecting premium technical materials
  • More substantial weight compared to packable emergency shells
  • Tailored specifically for MTB geometry rather than casual commuting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, ensure the 3D hood is adjusted while wearing your helmet to prevent the brim from drooping. When layering, the jacket is cut to accommodate mid-layers for colder weather, so choose your standard sizing for a comfortable fit.

To maintain the waterproofing, it is critical to wash the jacket using a technical garment cleaner designed for waterproof shells. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the breathability pores of the membrane. After washing, tumble dry on a low setting or air dry, and consider reapplying a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment if water no longer beads off the surface of the fabric.
