Product Information

Full details

The Albion All Road Pertex Shield Rain Jacket is designed for female cyclists who require high-performance, packable weather protection during long rides or unpredictable conditions. It provides a significant advantage by balancing a 20,000mm water column rating with exceptional breathability, ensuring you remain dry from both external rain and internal moisture. While it offers premium technical specs, users should be aware that the performance fit is engineered specifically for an on-bike posture, which may feel restrictive when worn casually off the bike.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, use a gentle cycle with a mild, technical-specific detergent. Avoid softeners and bleach.

Will this fit over a thick winter jacket?

The jacket is designed with an engineered, close-to-body cycling fit. It is best suited for layering over jerseys or thin base layers rather than bulky winter gear.

What does C0 DWR mean?

C0 refers to a Durable Water Repellency finish that is free from perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), making it a more environmentally friendly option.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, with a 20,000mm water column and fully taped seams, it is designed to withstand heavy, sustained rain.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Hang it in a cool, dry place using the internal neck loop. Avoid compressing it in a pocket for long-term storage at home.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat or wash it with a specialized technical DWR re-proofer.

Feeling damp inside during high-intensity exercise

Ensure the cuffs are adjusted to allow ventilation and check that the front zip is managed correctly to assist with moisture vapor transmission.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High breathability rating prevents overheating during hard efforts
  • Extremely lightweight and easy to stow in a jersey pocket
  • Versatile cuff design provides additional ventilation options
  • Reflective branding enhances safety in low-light conditions

Cons

  • Slim on-bike fit is not ideal for casual or off-bike wear
  • Technical fabric requires specific care to maintain water repellency
  • Premium feature set reflects a higher technical tier

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adhere to these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical garment detergent. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane pores.
  2. Re-treating DWR: If water stops beading on the surface, tumble dry on low heat or iron on a cool setting (with a cloth between the iron and jacket) to reactivate the C0 water-repellent finish.
  3. Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding and storing for long periods to prevent moisture buildup.
  4. Compatibility: This jacket is sized for a slim, performance fit. If you intend to wear heavy winter layers underneath, consider how this affects your standard size preference.
