Canyon 2.5L WXB Rain Jacket - Men's

A membrane is a thin layer of material that makes your jacket waterproof while still allowing moisture, like sweat, to escape. This feature is crucial for staying comfortable during physical activities such as cycling or mountain biking, as it keeps you dry from external water while preventing overheating.

A "3-season" jacket is designed to be versatile enough for use in spring, summer, and fall. It provides adequate protection against varying weather conditions during these seasons, but it may not be warm enough for winter use. This makes it a great choice for those who want a jacket that can adapt to different climates throughout the year.

A drop tail hem features a longer back section of the jacket that extends past the waist. This design helps keep your back covered while you’re in a cycling position, preventing exposure to wind and rain. It ensures that you stay dry and comfortable, especially when leaning forward on your bike.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over your cycling helmet. This feature is essential for maintaining protection from rain and wind while ensuring that you can wear your helmet safely. It allows you to stay safe and dry without compromising your gear.

Synthetic fabrics are man-made materials that are often lightweight, durable, and moisture-wicking. They are engineered to perform well in outdoor conditions, making them ideal for activities like cycling and mountain biking. These fabrics help keep you comfortable by managing sweat and providing protection against the elements.

While a 3-season jacket is designed for spring, summer, and fall, it may not provide enough insulation for winter conditions. If you plan to cycle in colder weather, consider layering with thermal clothing underneath or look for a jacket specifically designed for winter use to ensure you stay warm and protected.
