MTB jackets - protection against the elements off-road
From featherweight windbreakers and soft-shell jackets to tough hard-shell rain jackets, mountain bikers have a huge selection of functional and fashionable options available to them. Mountain bike jackets, like all sports jackets, have to strike a balance between protection from the elements and sufficient breathability and ventilation. Rapid changes in weather in the mountains, physical exertion and splashing water and mud on wet trails present mountain bike jackets with further challenges. They're therefore usually more robust than road bike jackets and have a slightly wider cut, as wind resistance plays less of a role when riding off-road.
