Road

Most riders won’t reach for a rain jacket unless it’s really raining because most rain jackets can’t deliver enough breathability to keep up with the aerobic activity of cycling. Not so with the PRO NeoShell. This next-generation rain jacket has the feel, stretch and breathability of a softshell with the weather-blocking force of a traditional rain jacket, so you can wear it comfortably for cool weather riding even when dry. It’s all thanks to Polartec® NeoShell®, the world’s most breathable waterproof membrane. It packs small enough to fit into a jersey pocket when the skies clear. This high-performance jacket underscores the value of great gear.

MTB

Wearing a rain jacket during a high-intensity effort like trail riding is usually a mixed bag. It may keep you from getting soaked, but copious venting is needed to avoid a humid microclimate, which can easily turn clammy. The Summit PRO NeoShell® Jacket changes the game as the first rain jacket to deliver all-day comfort while mountain biking. It’s built using a membrane that can move a basketball-sized volume of air from the jacket every minute; it’s the world’s most breathable waterproof material. This unrivaled level of moisture transfer manages body temps and keeps you dry like never before. But it’s not just about the breathability. Stretch fabric allows for dynamic movement, and the woven fabric improves durability. We designed the hood to fit over your helmet so you can ride through whatever Mother Nature throws your way.

A silicone hemline grip and encased elastic cuffs combine to make for a draft-free ride. Whether you’re rolling out the fat bike or need extra warmth for nights spent bikepacking, the Expedition Alpha provides light, capable protection for the adventure-minded rider. Even better, it’s made with upcycled materials.
