We are absolutely thrilled to announce Pinkbike has chosen Endura’s MT500 Waterproof Jacket II as 2015 Best Gear or Accessory. This new award category was intended to showcase standout products that play an important supporting role in the mountain bike riding experience. The wet West Coast winter swept in shortly after Pinkbike announced their nominations, most likely contributing to their almost unanimous vote for the MT500 Waterproof Jacket II.
Pinkbike’s winter gear reporter said: “I wore this in some fairly nasty weather, and it’s safe to say that this is the kind of jacket one could almost comfortably venture out into a hurricane with. The breathability was unbelievable. On extended climbs, both the pocket vents and the pit zips allowed for core cooling without sacrificing too much defense against whatever Mother Nature was throwing at me. The inner cuff with the thumb loops also helped keep the elements away from me, and all the zippers could easily be used with gloves on. Additionally, the jacket (despite the inner cuffs) could be put on or taken off relatively easily with gloves on”
Being the jacket of choice of living-legend Danny MacAskill and Pinkbike Gear Editors – what more is there to say in terms of its credentials?
The MT500 Waterproof Jacket received a makeover last year with a refreshed design and uses our latest, high tech fabric, ExoShell60™. This offers a colossal breathability rating of 60,000g/m²/hr and an impressive waterproof rating of 18,000mm. The ultrafine, flourine free membrane is up to 50% thinner than standard and is protected by a super-thin denier tricot laminate and results in a garment that boasts an incredible durability to weight ratio and results in a mimimal pack size. ExoShell60™ is Bluesign approved and the DWR treatments are PFC-free.
