Total Weather Immunity and Exceptional Breathability

Experience complete confidence in the face of driving rain and piercing wind. The Squall Shell is built around an advanced, fully Waterproof and Windproof technical fabric that acts as an impenetrable barrier to the elements. Every seam is meticulously sealed to ensure no moisture can find its way in, while the premium waterproof front zipper provides a final, crucial line of defense. Unlike lesser shells that can leave you feeling clammy, the Squall Shell boasts exceptional breathability. This allows perspiration and excess heat to escape efficiently, keeping you dry from the inside out, even during high-intensity intervals and tough climbs.

Engineered for a Flawless On-Bike Fit

Designed specifically for the aggressive cycling position, this Men´s jacket features an anatomical, close-to-body fit that eliminates flapping fabric and minimizes aerodynamic drag. The integration of Stretch panels and fabric properties ensures you have complete freedom of movement, whether you´re climbing out of the saddle or descending in the drops. The high collar seals out drafts, while the extended tail provides crucial protection from road spray, keeping your back and shorts cleaner and drier.

Practicality for Every Ride

Weighing remarkably little, the Squall Shell is exceptionally Compressible. It packs down to a minimal size, easily fitting into a jersey pocket, making it the perfect "insurance policy" to carry on any ride where the weather is uncertain. When conditions turn, you can deploy it in seconds. For enhanced safety in low-light conditions, strategically placed Reflective accents are integrated into the design, increasing your visibility to others on the road. This jacket is the epitome of performance-driven practicality, ensuring you´re always prepared.
