Gear Up for Foul-Weather Riding

Endura’s Scottish homeland gets every kind of weather, even sunshine. Far more common, though, are the seemingly infinite combinations of blustery, bracing, and wet that give the Scots language its uncommonly rich collection of weather words. 

We should expect nothing less of a country ribbed with ancient hills reminiscent of Appalachia, flowing into rugged seascapes worthy of Coastal California, and bathed in the light-sucking drizzle of Southeast Alaska. Cyclists, of course, will recognize all those places for their world-class roads, gravel and singletrack. Which brings us to the quandary that gave us Endura’s lineup of foul-weather kit: When the trail is braw, but the weather is dreich, what is a cyclist to do? 

Suit up and ride, of course*. With the proper Endura kit you’ll finish your trail day well and fully chuffed, and nae the least bit oorlich.

*Assuming the trails aren’t closed; always follow the direction of your local trail Org.

AllTrack Race Cape

The AllTrack Race Cape packs serious rain protection into an ultralight shell built for road and gravel duty. How serious? The cape sports a 20,000mm waterproof rating, which is how scientists say it can hold back a 65-foot column of water. That plus fully taped seams means this compact and packable bit of foul weather kit goes anywhere and is ready for anything. 

SingleTrack Windproof Glove 

The SingleTrack Windproof Glove blocks the chill with a softshell backhand and lightly brushed lining for knuckle protection without bulky insulation. A zero-padding synthetic-leather palm and silicone grip preserve bar feel, while the Velcro cuff locks down the fit.

Endura AllTrack Rout Pant

Built for riders who don’t need their trail pants painted on, the AllTrack Rout Pant uses four-way stretch fabric and a relaxed fit with room for knee pads. Articulated, tapered legs keep things pedal-friendly, while a DWR finish, adjustable waist, and zipped pockets handle everyday trail duty.

Endura AllTrack Roam WP Jacket

The AllTrack Roam WP Jacket adds a bombproof outer layer to Endura’s AllTrack line of relaxed ride-anything-anytime gear. Stretch construction gives you room to move on technical trails, keeping the rain and smirr at bay without the restrictive feel of a race shell. 

Endura MT500 Burner Fleece 

More technical midlayer than bulky winter top, the MT500 Burner Fleece warms your upper body and sleeves with Polartec Alpha insulation. Pit zips dump excess heat, while the four-way stretch and relaxed Roam fit give you freedom to move when the trails get touzie.

Endura MT500 Roam Insulated Jacket

For those pure Baltic trail days, the MT500 Roam Insulated Jacket backs up a two-layer, water-repellent DWR outer with breathable Polartec Alpha insulation. Underarm vents allow excess heat to escape, while articulated sleeves, roomy front pockets, and an adjustable hood make this a versatile layer for those unforgettable winter rips.

AllTrack Roam Fleece

Constructed of breathable fabric and a soft fleece interior, the AllTrack Roam Fleece wraps you in a warm embrace without smothering hard efforts, while articulated sleeves maintain riding mobility. A relaxed Roam fit and zippered valuables pocket provide the sort of style and practicality that will make this midlayer a favorite on and off the bike. 

Endura AllTrack Ride L/S Jersey 

Part jersey, part adventure shirt, the AllTrack Ride L/S blends a lightweight merino-knit body with stretchy ripstop sleeves for added trail durability. Articulated sleeves improve riding fit, while three rear drop-in pockets and a zippered security pocket provide road-jersey utility without the road-racer aesthetic.
