TRAIL WINTER JACKET

TRAIL WINTER SOFTSHELL JACKET

Warmth, protection, and breathability. The old standard would say pick two. We say have all three. The new TRAIL Winter Softshell is a step up from our rider-favorite Spring/Fall Hoodie—cranking up the heat and boosting protection levels—to become your complete all-mountain winter ally.

The main textile used for the jacket is our proven NEOS Medium. This 3-layer softshell is equipped with a PU bonded membrane, which translates to a highly breathable, water-resistant, insulating, and 100% windproof fabric that ensures you stay fully shielded from icy winter air, rain, and even snow. We paired this winterproof barrier with body-mapped panels of our new RX EVO+, added to the upper arms, side panels, back, and helmet-compatible hood, to manage moisture and keep the breathability levels high. This combination creates armor from the elements and exhaust ports throughout, yielding a warm, dry ride in challenging conditions and with varying levels of physical output.

Materials sorted, we honed the details from the top down. We took cues from our Spring/Fall platform here, notably with the scuba-style hood that features built-in neck protection when fully zipped. The hood itself smoothly integrates with your helmet, with an under-the-helmet design and proprietary klikThru strap slot, ensuring unobstructed vision and frictionless comfort. The elbows are wrapped our abrasion-battling dyneRope material, and you’ll notice the cargoZip along the left side, which offers access to the contents of your rear pockets underneath. We also added a single stash side pocket for small items on the jacket’s front right.

Cut in our trailFit, the jacket is trim and fitted for the trail bike, but still jumps into off-bike duty without issue. The double-slider zipper means you’re able to open the jacket cape-style for the grind to summit, or ventilate the traditional way from the top.
