When the temperature plummets, this is the essential piece of kit that ensures you can push your limits in complete comfort, turning challenging winter rides into epic adventures.At the heart of this high-performance jacket is the soft touch, insulating Polartec Fleece. This industry-leading fabric is renowned for its incredible temperature regulation, creating a warm and comfortable microclimate against your skin. It works by trapping body heat efficiently to provide essential insulation, while simultaneously allowing excess moisture and vapor to escape. This active breathability is crucial for preventing the clammy, overheated feeling during strenuous climbs, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable from the start of the trail to the very end.Understanding the demands of mountain biking, the MT500 Polartec Jacket features a hybrid construction. Strategically placed stretch woven panels on the shoulders, hood, and chest act as your first line of defense against the elements. These durable panels provide critical windproof and spray protection, shielding your core from biting headwinds and water kicked up from your front wheel. This intelligent design keeps you warmer and drier in the areas that matter most, without compromising the overall breathability of the fleece. Reflective accents are thoughtfully integrated to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, adding a crucial layer of safety for those early morning starts or late evening finishes.Engineered specifically for the ride, the MT500 Polartec Jacket boasts a perfect on-bike fit. The drop, stepped rear hem offers extended coverage, protecting your lower back from drafts and trail splatter when you´re in an aggressive riding position.
