FOX RANGER 2.5-LAYER WATER JACKET [PTR]

The Fox Ranger 2.5-Layer Water Jacket is a technical cycling jacket made from 2.5-layer fabric with a 10,000 mm hydrostatic head, designed for mountain biking in rain and mud. The stretch fabric and considered fit ensure complete freedom of movement on challenging trail and enduro descents.

Conditions and intended use

This jacket sits in the mid-range of technical jackets for wet-weather riding. It is designed for recreational and more advanced mountain bikers who need reliable protection from rain and wind during transitional seasons or when the weather suddenly turns on a ride. Its mobility-focused construction allows for an aggressive riding position without restriction.

Key features and material

• 2.5-layer fabric: Provides 10,000 mm hydrostatic head waterproofing and breathability of 5,000 g/m², helping prevent excessive overheating on moderate climbs.
• C0 DWR finish: The durable water-repellent treatment on the outer fabric effectively repels moisture, dirt and mud, and contains no harmful fluorocarbons.
• Helmet-compatible hood: The oversized hood is designed to fit directly over a cycling helmet for maximum protection for the head and neck.
• Stretch fabric: A blend of 86% polyamide and 13% elastane allows unrestricted movement and adapts to an active riding position.
• Adjustability: Adjustable drawcords at the waist and hood provide a precise fit and help prevent cold air or water from getting in.

In use

In rainy weather and on muddy trails, the 10k/5k membrane and DWR finish effectively keep water out, while the stretch fabric does not restrict movement when manoeuvring the bike on technical terrain.

On all-day rides in unpredictable weather, the jacket provides quick protection, while two front zip pockets keep your phone, keys and other small items safely protected from moisture.
