With its Polartec® Alpha insulation, created for the demands of high-intensity exercise, the Defend Fire Alpha Jacket is all about keeping your temperature regulated. Despite its low bulk and low weight, it does a brilliant job of holding onto body heat. However, it’s also superb at preventing overheating and sweat build-up, allowing excess heat to escape as your effort levels rise and fall with the terrain. The result is greater comfort on the bike. The Defend Fire is also made to be tough. The outer is made from a durable stretch Cordura® material, more than a match for the demands of mountain biking. The stretch fit and MTB-specific cut also ensure you’re never held back from throwing your bike around the trails. And then there’s the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, shrugging off mud and water kicked up off damp trails.
Why let the threat of rain keep you from your mountain biking enjoyment? The Women's Flexair Water Jacket features waterproof fabric and fully taped seams to keep the rain firmly shut out. Fox have also added a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, fending off mud and dirt and preventing water from soaking in. While rain is kept out, a high degree of breathability also prevents you from getting too hot and sweaty, just what you need when you’ve got some technical climbs and rowdy descents to take on. Then there are the laser-perforated rear vents, letting out warm, damp air, boosting your comfort still further. Practical MTB-ready features include zipped hand pockets to keep essentials within easy reach. An adjustable hem and a helmet-compatible hood both make it easy to seal out the elements. There are also reflective logos, keeping you visible when enjoying a ride out after dark.
If you’re out and about and weather conditions are cool, damp and changeable, the Ranger Fire Jacket is just what you need.

Meanwhile, a durable outer layer, featuring a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, is tough enough for any MTB trail action. And between the outer and inner sits a highly waterproof and breathable membrane, keeping you dry and sweat-free when the weather is wet, but you’re still determined to ride hard. In terms of the fit, you’ll be pleased to find it’s honed for on-the-bike mobility. There’s plenty of space to move and a drop-tail design adds coverage when you’re getting an aggressive ride-attack position. And with zippered pockets, there's space to stash essentials conveniently close to hand.
The Flexair Neoshell Water Jacket is a jacket that will get you out on your mountain bike even when dark clouds are set to burst and trails are already wet and muddy. When the rain starts the Polartec® Neoshell® will keep you brilliantly dry from the downpour. However, we all know that mountain biking can get you hot and sweaty and it's here, in dealing with sweat, the Flexair pulls ahead of its rivals.

Training in wet and windy weather is as much about keeping sweat-free as it is about keeping the elements out. In both respects, the Chrono Pro Neoshell® Jacket really excels and this is thanks to the remarkable Polartec® Neoshell® fabric. Both windproof and waterproof, this fabric won't let you down when the rain begins to fall but thanks to the air-permeable membrane it lets your skin breathe, leaving you dry and comfortable even during the hardest of cycling efforts. With waterproof zippers and a fully seam-sealed construction water is unable to seep inside either. Tailored with a close to the body fit, the Chrono Pro is also efficient through the air, ensuring no energy is wasted on your long autumn and winter rides. As shorter days and darker mornings and evenings arrive you'll also benefit from the genuine 3M Reflective highlights, enhancing visibility as darkness falls while a chest pocket provides convenient storage.
Cold weather needn't resign you to an indoor training session, with the warmth of the women's Chrono Pro Alpha® Cycling Jacket you can enjoy cold, crisp days on the bike. The warmth is all down to the combination of Polartec® Windbloc® fabric and Polartec® Alpha® Direct Active insulation. Windbloc prevents cold winds penetrating the jacket and robbing body heat while the Alpha® Direct Active insulation is remarkably light but incredibly good at retaining warmth, trapping a layer of air to protect you from the icy tentacles of cold weather. A Durable Water Repellant (DWR) coating provides extra protection on dull and damp days too. Cold days tend to be more demanding on energy levels and so the female-specific form-fitting silhouette prevents excess fabric catching the wind and so saving those energy-stores for the last few miles to home. Speaking of energy, the Expandable Storage Pockets provide ample space for gels and bars to keep you fuelled and for long days that finish in the dark the 3M Reflective highlights add visual pop to enhance visibility when the daylight fades.
