Riding during wet weather is a fun challenge. The slippery, muddy and wet trails adding an extra challenge. But you need the right kit to keep riding comfortably. Enter the Women's Ranger 2.5L Water Jacket. Fox have used a 2.5-Layer waterproof fabric, with a waterproof rating of 10,000 millimetres and breathability of 3,000-grams, to keep you dry inside and out. Fox have also added a DWR finish, boosting protection against mud and water flicked up from those rain-soaked trails - rather than soaking in it simply beads on the surface before running off. Mountain biking is tough on your kit too, but the rip-stop fabric is as hardy as they come, brushing off knocks and scrapes from your typical mountain bike adventure. An over helmet hood renders even more protection in the foulest of weather, boosting comfort on the way up as well as all your runs back down. All this wet-weather protection doesn't come with a weight penalty though, the lightweight construction lets you pack up the Ranger Water Jacket quickly and easily should the sun break through the clouds. An MTB essential for changeable weather when you still want to get your shred on.
Mountain biking can be a pricey hobby to get into, but when it comes to keeping your head safer in the event of a tumble, you shouldn't have to compromise, even if you don't have the biggest budget. And this is where the Mainframe Helmet (MIPS) comes into play. Packed with the latest head-protecting tech, it offers superb coverage at an accessible price. Trail-Slaying Safety The construction is of Fox's in-moulded EPS design. This sees a shock-absorbing inner EPS foam covered by a tough polycarbonate outer. Should you crash, always a possibility when tackling technical trails, then the EPS foam soaks up and dissipates the damaging forces of a head impact. The tough outer is there to fend off those smaller knocks and bumps you might get when getting a bit too close to tree branches and trail-side overgrowth. Next comes the MIPS brain protection system, a brilliant bit of technology to feature at this entry-level price point. What is MIPS? The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.

Inside the Mainframe, the moisture-wicking padding does a great job of preventing you from being soaked in sweat as you pick up speed. And they're washable too, so you can always get that new-helmet feel back. The MIPS integrated fit is the final touch on this impressive MTB helmet.
