Howies’ top-end waterproof jacket is cut from Schoeller’s C-Change material, which has a membrane that opens when you heat up and sweat increases.
This allows heat and moisture to escape to the outside air keeping you dry. Fully taped seams help to keep out the wet stuff when you’re riding for long periods, and the soft collar keeps your neck irritation-free.
Although this looks black by day, it becomes reflective when a car light hits it, by using C-Change reflex fabric around the collar and front arm panels.
Add to this collar adjusters, waist draw cord and waterproof zip pockets, and you have the makings of a great jacket – but you do pay top dollar for this.
