The WASSERSCHNAUZE’s main textile, Lightning, is a permanently waterproof barrier with more insulation than the Schloss Tex 3L textile on our RS Rain Jacket Targa. Native elasticity enables four-season layering over equipment ranging from summer-weight jerseys to heavier winter jackets. Bonded and taped hems paired with a flap-shielded, glove-friendly zipper eliminate any gaps in waterproofing, and NACA Tec underarm construction shields against road spray and precipitation while increasing breathability. Reflective tape on the back keeps you visible in overcast, low-light conditions, and the internal chest pocket is large enough to stash gloves for when the weather requires additional hand protection.
