"Thanks to durable technical fabrics, a comfortable fit, and incredible packability, this jacket is a great option for anyone who doesn't typically enjoy the bulk of rainshells while mountain biking. Full disclosure: I'm not someone who loves a waterproof jacket on the mountain bike. Sure, they are great for some road and gravel rides, but for the most part, they are personal saunas that trap the heat and sweat, making riding uncomfortable, noisy, and less enjoyable than feeling the elements."
"Strafe Outerwear is a recognizable name in snow sports, and that is certainly the brand's bread and butter, but they also offer a selection of summer gear for mountain biking and trail running - something I was previously unaware of. I've been testing the Strafe Ridgeline Shorts and Skyline tee for a few months now, which have been a solid kit. However, what I've really been impressed with is the Scout Jacket, so let's talk about it."
The Scout Jacket from Strafe Outerwear is a lightweight, highly packable waterproof jacket designed for shoulder-season mountain biking. It uses Pertex Shield 2.5L 100% nylon mini ripstop with C6 DWR, offers a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm and MVTR of 20,000g/m2/24hrs. The jacket weighs 105 g, has no insulation or lining, and packs down to about the size of a soda can. Strafe Outerwear is primarily known for snow sports but also produces summer gear for mountain biking and trail running. The Scout prioritizes minimal bulk, weather protection, and comfortable fit for active use.
