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 quickly turn clammy. The Summit PRO NeoShell Jacket is the first rain jacket to deliver all-day mountain biking comfort. 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. They designed the hood to fit over your helmet so you can ride through whatever Mother Nature throws your way.
Impressions => When you need a heavier-duty waterproof hooded jacket for mountain biking, look no further than the Summit PRO NeoShell. The Polartec NeoShell fabric offers excellent waterproof characteristics and highly functional breathability, making it perfect for high-output riding. Yet, it keeps you dry and warm when you pedal slowly or hang out for a break. It works nicely over a helmet, and the cut provides enough maneuverability without overt bagginess. It features zippered pockets and is small enough to be packable. The jacket kept me warm and dry this past season in some ugly, wet, and snowy conditions.
- Polartec NeoShell for unrivaled waterproof breathability

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. When the skies clear, it packs small enough to fit into a jersey pocket. This high-performance jacket underscores the value of the great gear.
