What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This jacket is my go-to for wet rides. The Ventia™ 2.5L fabric keeps rain out while staying breathable, and the mechanical stretch ensures full mobility. The helmet-compatible hood and back vent make it perfect for long rides in unpredictable weather, and I love that the back pocket doubles as a stuff sack for easy storage."
