Freewheel MTB Stretch Rain Jacket

Waterproof Protection and Recycled Materials for Cold, Wet Weather Riding

The Outdoor Research Freewheel MTB Stretch Rain Jacket is built for shoulder season riding and cool, wet days on the bike, featuring the perfect amount of stretch and a bike-specific fit and feature list.

Crafted from bluesign® approved 2.5L 100% recycled polyester with mechanical stretch, the Freewheel MTB Stretch Rain Jacket offers movement mirroring stretch for unrestricted mobility. This technical bike outerwear features Ventia™ waterproof technology that breathes as it shields wind, rain, and whatever mother nature has in store. It features an adjustable hood that fits over a bike helmet, adjustable wrist cuffs, and a drawcord adjustable hem to seal out the cold. The back pocket doubles as a stuff sack for easy packing, while the back vent adds vital breathability during long climbs and rowdy downhills. YKK® Aquaguard® zippers ensure secure storage and protection from moisture.

Featuring a trim fit, technical fabrics, and an intuitive, functional design, the Freewheel MTB Stretch Rain Jacket is the perfect choice for riders seeking high-performance, bike-specific outerwear for riding in inclement weather.

Freewheel MTB Lite Ride Shorts

Technical Fabrics, Bike-Specific Fi,t and Minimalist Feature Set for High-Tempo Riding

The Freewheel MTB Lite Ride Shorts are built with durable, technical fabrics, a bike-specific fit, and a minimalist feature set for a clean, stealth silhouette for high-paced riding on the trail and at the bike park.

Crafted from lightweight, bluesign® approved materials; these shorts feature a durable nylon blend fabric that delivers movement-mirroring 2-way stretch. The abrasion-resistant fabric is treated with a DWR finish, making it water and wind-resistant while remaining breathable and quick-drying. The contoured waistband with a higher back ensures coverage in a seated position, and the bonded stretch waistband with Low-Pro™ adjustment tabs delivers a fine-tuned fit. Articulated leg openings fit over the knees and kneepads, a gusseted crotch enhances mobility, and the right zipped pocket keeps keys and phones safe and secure. These shorts also layer perfectly over a bike chamois or liner short.

The Freewheel MTB Lite Ride Shorts should be in every dedicated mountain biker’s closet, built with high-performance materials and only the essential design elements.

The hip pack accommodates most bladder sizes for those who prefer to carry a water bladder. The breathable mesh panel ensures comfort on long climbs, and the tuck-away mesh stow-net is perfect for storing knee pads or a jacket. Compression straps secure loads of all sizes, keeping gear secure and tight to the body.

For mountain bike rides of all lengths, the Freewheel 5L Hip Pack is the perfect bag to carry everything needed for the next day’s outing on the trail.
