Rain or sweat—no problem. Since it’s all-weather, it expands your range of activities.
Thanks to the “WEATHER SHIELD” fabric used for the outer layer, you can rest easy even if you get caught in a sudden rain shower while out and about. Since it’s also breathable, it’s perfect for situations where you tend to sweat, such as when commuting by bike. Surprisingly, you often end up soaked more from your own sweat than from the rain, so breathability is key.
The front pocket features a large flap with a Velcro closure to keep rain out. The hem is hip-length so it won't rub against the saddle or tires when you're riding your bike.
The stand-up collar features a built-in hood, making it perfect for cold weather and inclement conditions. The hood can be tightened with a drawstring, so you can feel secure even when riding a bike or in strong winds.
The biggest update this time is the adoption of “WEATHER SHIELD,” a three-layer fabric with water-repellent properties, for the outer layer. This original fabric is used in lines such as “Fresh Tour Service”—which focuses on travel and mobility—within the collection, and its most notable feature is that it is lightweight and breathable while still being water-repellent.
Although it isn't completely waterproof and breathable, it can handle a little rain, so I don't have to carry an umbrella. That means even if the forecast calls for cloudy skies followed by rain, I can head out empty-handed.
Also, since no seam tape is used on the seams, there’s none of the stiffness or crinkly sound often found in rainwear, and it’s great that it feels just as comfortable as everyday clothing.
Another key feature is that, because the outer shell covers the inner pocket, items stored inside are less likely to get wet. The access panel features a water-resistant zipper, so you can rest assured that your gadgets—such as a portable battery—will stay dry.
