With a goal of creating the ultimate Autumn/ Winter/ Spring Hardcore Roadie jacket, Endura set out on designing the Pro SL 3 Season Jacket. Not only will this jacket make your kit choice a lot easier, it will also do a brilliant job in an incredibly wide range of temperatures and conditions. The Pro SL is designed to keep you warm on those chilly mornings and fast descents, while its excellent breathability and large ventilation zips prevent you from overheating when you’re working hard on steep climbs.
On shoulder-season rides, we all know that whatever jacket we pick is going to be the wrong choice. Grab the tissue-thin jacket and you’ll be cold at the start, during the coffee stop, or fixing a mechanical when it starts raining. Go for the heavy winter insulation jacket on the other hand though, and you’ll be doing your best impression of a boil-in-the-bag cod, sweating on the inside and generally hating life once you get your engine going.
That’s why the Pro SL is a great choice. Waterproof, warm, yet breathable, and not too heavy. German ex-pro sprinter and powerhouse Marcel Kittel himself was involved in the development of the Pro SL 3-Season, and his vast racing and road cycling experience has trickled into this garment.
The outer shell deploys a mix of high stretch, waterproof membrane fabrics and incorporates a unique venting system, offering adaptable cooling to key areas of the upper body. A separate vest is constructed from PrimaLoft®’s new Evolve fabric in strategically positioned panels, providing lightweight insulation in lower temperatures.
The full-body venting system features two large 2-way zipped chest vents, zipped wrist vents, and a special superpower feature: an exhaust vent at the rear – imagine the cooling system of a powerful engine with heat billowing out of the exhaust.
The jacket is cut in an athletic fit with a high-cut, shaped collar for extra warmth and comfort. The triple rear pocket system with a zipped security pocket and zipped chest pocket provide storage, and subtle reflective details increase visibility in low light conditions. Endura offers a 90-day satisfaction guarantee with the Pro SL; a jacket can be returned or replaced at no cost if it does not meet expectations.
