First Look - Endura Humvee Convertible Jacket
Endura have come up for with a perfect solution for days when the weather is so unpredictable you just don't know what to wear, the convertible Humvee jacket.
Here in bonny Scotland we are used to experiencing three seasons in one day. It's not unusual to leave the pretty town of Peebles in mild sunny conditions, but end up in a snow storm at the high points of Glentress forest, and the general rule for the highlands is "always expect the unexpected". Livingston too has its very own rapidly changing micro climate as the Endura lunchbreak CX team can confirm.
Since most of the people who work for Scottish bikewear company Endura ride bikes, they like versatile cycling kit that you can use all year round in a range of conditions, like the brand new Hummvee Convertible Jacket. This clever jacket-come-gilet is bound to become a go-to item thanks to its versatility, great style, and neat details. Once you've tried this jacket, you will wonder how you ever managed to ride without it! Designed to excel on the trails, the Hummvee Convertible Jacket is also in it's element in an urban environment, making your commute to work more pleasant.
Made from a 2.5-layer waterproof, breathable fabric, this adaptable jacket protects you effectively from the elements and ensures a comfortable body climate at the same time. Once you've warmed up or the rain stops, either open the zips to vent or simply remove the sleeves and rear panel, quickly changing the garment into a gilet. The sleeves are attached to the gilet with waterproof zips with snap-down pullers, while the rear panel attaches or detaches via discreet poppers. Sleeves and rear panel can then be stashed into the large zipped back pocket.
In addition there are two spacious front zipped pockets where you can keep all your riding essentials. The left pocket is equipped with a clever internal organiser, featuring a Velcro® mesh pocket and a key lanyard. The big mesh panel on the back of the gilet allows for optimal air flow, while aiding breathability when the rear panel and sleeves are in place. The front zip has a full inner storm flap to keep wind and water out. The fit of the Hummvee Convertible Jacket is relaxed; collar, cuffs and waistband are adjustable. Reflective details enhance visibility, plus there's an LED light loop on the back pocket designed to take the Endura Luminite LED Snap Pack.
The Hummvee Convertible Jackets comes in sizes S-XXL in black, red or Kelly green and retails at £84.99.
