Hey everyone!
So, I finally got my hands on the Endura MT500 Waterproof Jacket, and I’ve got to share my thoughts. First off, if you’ve ever found yourself caught in an unexpected downpour while cruising along a trail, you’re gonna appreciate what this jacket brings to the table. Let me tell you, it’s like wearing a superhero cape that just hates water.
Performance: This jacket does a stellar job at keeping you dry. I took it out for a little bikepacking adventure last weekend, where the weather was about as unpredictable as my 3-year-old niece’s mood swings. The MT500 held up impressively—no soggy mess to report!
Venting: Let’s talk about venting for a sec. Because, let’s face it, no one likes feeling like a boiled potato in their own sweat. The underarm zippers are a lifesaver, granting you all the airflow you could hope for during those uphill battles. No more peeling off the jacket halfway to avoid melting!
Fit & Comfort: The fit is quite spot on. I’m average size, and it fits great without making me look like I’m auditioning for a Michelin Man commercial. It’s got just the right amount of space to layer up without feeling bulky. Plus, the breathable material means I’m not ripping it off the moment I stop pedaling.
- Pockets Galore: A personal favorite for stashing snacks on the go. I might have smuggled a banana and an energy bar in there.
- Style Factor: It’s sleek and doesn’t scream “Look at me, I’m a raincoat!”
- Durability: So far, it’s taken a couple of close encounters with thorny branches and bounced back like a champ.
On the downside, if we’re being nitpicky, it *is* a bit of an investment price-wise. But considering I’m the type who’d rather spend on reliable gear than suffer a soaked misery, I see it as money well spent.
“Feel like I’ve danced in the rain and come out a victor.”
Anyway, that’s my spiel. How about you guys? Has anyone else taken the MT500 out for a spin? Would love to hear other experiences, or if there’s a different jacket you swear by when the skies turn grey! Let’s get the jacket gossip going!
