Product Information
Full details
The Endura MT500 Freezing Point Gilet is an essential piece of winter cycling apparel for mountain bikers and trail riders who require core warmth without compromising on range of motion or breathability in sub-zero temperatures. Utilizing premium PrimaLoft Gold insulation, it acts as a highly efficient heat-trapping layer that remains light and packable; however, users should note that the sleeveless design means arms remain exposed to the elements, making it best paired with high-quality long-sleeve jerseys or base layers.

FAQs
Is the gilet waterproof?
It features a PFC-free water-repellent finish that sheds light spray and drizzle, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Can I wear this while wearing a backpack?
Yes, the gilet includes silicone shoulder grips designed to prevent your hydration pack straps from slipping while riding.
How should I wash the MT500 Gilet?
Machine wash in cold water using a mild technical detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Does it have any pockets?
Yes, it features front pockets that are designed to double as ventilation ports to help manage core temperature.
Is this suitable for road cycling?
While designed for mountain biking, its lightweight, insulated nature makes it a great option for road cyclists seeking extra core warmth.
Troubleshooting
Garment losing its water-repellent properties
Wash the garment and apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-beading performance.
Insulation feels compressed or flat
Tumble dry on a very low heat setting with dryer balls to help fluff up the PrimaLoft fibers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio
- Breathable design prevents overheating
- Durable, tear-resistant outer fabric
- Excellent freedom of movement for technical trails
- Sustainable PFC-free water repellent finish
Cons
- Does not provide arm protection from wind or cold
- Requires layering for full-body winter protection
- Not intended for heavy, sustained downpours
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of the insulation and the water-repellent finish, proper care is essential. Always wash the gilet in cool water using a technical garment detergent that is free of fabric softeners, as softeners can degrade the breathability and DWR coating. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the loft of the PrimaLoft insulation.
Regarding compatibility, the gilet is designed to fit under most standard cycling jackets if you need an additional weather-protective shell. The silicone shoulder grips are specifically calibrated to hold the straps of most major mountain biking hydration backpacks securely in place, even on rough, bumpy terrain.
