Showers Pass launched new versions of its best-selling Crosspoint Softshell and Wind Gloves, along with a new waterproof/breathable Beanie, and the yet to be released Ranger waterproof hip pack. Updates include a revamped construction on the Softshell for better waterproofness and a new MapReflect Wind Glove. All three styles also feature touchscreen compatibility and a new, lower-profile design that maximizes comfort and dexterity.
Crosspoint Waterproof Beanie
The Crosspoint Waterproof Beanie features unique 3-layer construction, in which a seamless waterproof-breathable membrane is paired with acrylic knit to keep heads warm and dry without sacrificing style and comfort. The Crosspoint Technology allows for fully windproof and waterproof hats, gloves, and socks that look and feel just like any other hats, gloves, and socks. “Comfortable protection from winter precipitation is worth its weight in gold,” says Jeremy Rider, PR Director at Showers Pass, “and the Crosspoint collection is becoming the gold standard.” Trail running, hiking, fishing, camping, or playing outside in the rain, sleet, snow, and wind? “Bring it on,” says Rider, “our new Crosspoint Beanie is ready for adventure.”
- MSRP: $39 – Colors: Black, Sea Blue, Moab
Crosspoint Softshell TS & Wind TS Gloves
The Crosspoint Softshell TS Gloves now keep hands dry and warm with a seamless waterproof-breathable Artex membrane bonded to the outer shell. “This means no more rain trapped between the outer and inner layers of the glove,” says George Dolack, Product Developer at Showers Pass. “Reflective accents keep cyclists visible while signaling in traffic, and strategically placed padding keeps hands feeling good enough to go extra miles, even in nasty weather.” And the TS? That stands for Touch Screen. No more frozen fingers while texting on the trail.
The new-and-improved Crosspoint Wind TS Gloves feature 3-layer Artex fabric that is windproof, waterproof, and breathable: ideal for 3-season protection. “It’s the perfect glove for shorter outings in the rain or longer days in cool weather, for those looking to protect their hands from windchill,” says Dolack. The new MapReflect colorway offers a unique aesthetic as well as an added element of safety on the street.

Ranger Hip Pack
The Ranger is the larger of Showers Pass hip-pack line up and will be introduced at Sea Otter show in April. It will retail for $130. The Ranger is fully waterproof, except for the flip pocket to house access to quick tools, tubes, etc. with a 7L capacity.
RainSlinger Waterproof Hip Pack
When the weather is stormy, but you want to pack light, the Rainslinger Waterproof Hip-Pack provides reliable wet weather protection for your gear and keeps you visible with 360 degrees of reflective trim and a red LED Beacon Light.
The Rainslinger, which has 3.5-liters of capacity, provides a wet-weather option for riders seeking an alternative to a traditional hydration pack or backpack. Lowering the center of gravity for a heavy pack and reducing the sweat buildup down the center back makes for a more comfortable ride. Suitable for mountain biking and gravel rides, but also perfect for those city bike commuters looking to keep what they need to carry dry, the Rainslinger offers the ability to protect items like your phone, wallet, keys, and snacks in case the weather turns. At the same time, you are enjoying your time on or off two wheels.
- MSRP: $69.00, Colors: Lime/Grey, Ochre/Grey
