WINNER - BEST OF GEAR JUNKIE 2024.

What makes this jacket "Magic"? Its breathability. The Polartec® NeoShell® is so breathable that we use it as an everyday cycling jacket. In fact, when we were evaluating this fabric back in 2019 it was so breathable that we questioned whether it was the correct waterproof fabric (it was), and after that, we were sold.

Riding in the rain sucks, and it sucks, even more, when you aren’t prepared. This jacket allows you always to be ready for that unlikely chance of rain. Made right here in California with bonded and taped seams, there is no other jacket like it. The soft, stretchy fabric allows you to wear it with layers or a jersey depending on the temperature. The rear zipper pocket offers enough space for a phone or anything else that needs to be zipped away from the elements. We recommend this jacket for temps from 55-32 degrees.
