Northwave Rainskin JacketIf you're seeking protection from the rain when cycling but don't want to sacrifice aerodynamics then the Northwave Rainskin Jacket is just what you need. Fast and dry performance on the bike.Rain jackets have traditionally been good at keeping the rain out but when it comes to the fit and hence aerodynamics they've left a lot to be desired, with poor fitting, flappy jackets a common sight. The Rainskin Jacket, however, has excellent waterproof performance while also offering a close and aerodynamic fit, saving energy and optimising your speed - ideal for racing and fast training sessions in the wet. The 2.5-ply construction features Northwave's H2O Flex membrane giving you 10,000 mm waterproof protection and a four-way stretch for exceptional freedom of movement. Fully taped seams and DWR water repellent treatment ramp up the wet weather protection still further.Award-winning P4Dry™ printing process combined with S.Café® technology also sees the Rainskin dry rapidly, increasing comfort in showery conditions and it also feels great against the skin when compared to standard hardshell rain jackets. Breathability is also excellent and is enhanced by rear vents, letting warm damp air escape and evaporate away before it can cause a chill. Thanks to its packability it's also a cycling jacket you'll be able to take on every ride.

Northwave Enduro Hardshell Cycling JacketFending off rain and mud, the waterproof and windproof Northwave Enduro Hardshell Cycling Jacket brings extra comfort to all your fun days of mountain bike riding. Even if it's pouring with rain. Why let the rain stop your mountain biking fun. The Enduro Hardshell Cycling Jacket uses Northwave's H20 membrane to keep rain from getting in. Rated to 10,000 mm of waterproof protection, this keeps you drier for longer when storm clouds burst. Fully taped seams also prevent water seepage while the outer also features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, preventing wetting out of the jacket surface and fending of muddy splashes too. A waterproof front zipper also provides a secure seal against the elements. When it comes to mountain biking you can soon build up some body heat. But with the underarm vents, you can easily keep in control of airflow. Zip them open to dump heat and boost breathability on a climb. Zip them closed when you're facing into the rain or need extra protection on the downhills. Should conditions really take a turn for the worse, the adjustable hood is helmet compatible so adds extra protection when needed. Lastly, a waterproof chest pocket makes space to stash some essentials within easy reach.

Air-prene palm with silicone grip prints for a firmer grip on the barsFully taped insideWater- and wind-resistant neoprene backs for optimum insulation and warmthFor extreme weather conditions
Northwave lab R&D department and Polartec® have developed the Fast Polar gloves in order to keep the most exposed ends of the body warm and isolated. The inner padding of the glove is made of recycled Polartec® Alpha Direct, to ensure superior warmth and breathability and continuous transfer of excessive heat and moisture to the outside, guaranteeing major comfort during inclement weather rides. This effect is made possible by the exclusive technology of the insulating fabric where lofted fibres are connected to a solid mesh core. Polartec® Alpha Direct is also inherently hydrophobic so it resists humidity and dries incredibly quickly. Extra protection is given by the external windproof membrane while the reflective details increase visability. Key Features:Polartec® Alpha Direct Fabric,Touchscreen Friendly,Reflective Detail .

Northwave breaks into the flat shoes market, changing the game with an innovative flat-specific sole system made in collaboration with Michelin.More Than a Sole: The First Flat-Specific Sole SystemKeeping the rider’s feet anchored to the pedals with no clips is easier said than done. When developing a flat shoe, there are three boxes to tick: grip, traction and durability. The reality is, a single element sole will never do all three. To achieve this requires multiple elements that work together to provide total control whilst on pedals.Two years of research and testing were needed to come up with the Gecko+ system that Northwave uses in the Clan and Tribe. It’s the stickiest compound on the market and was co-developed by Northwave and Michelin Technical Soles. In addition to the unrivalled grip it has an integrated rubber arch support which ensures enhanced stability on the pedals and increased impact protection.The real difference is inside the sole, where an adaptive TPU shank with calibrated stiffness ensures greater control, support, and stress response. The lengthwise openings along the medial zone and heel contain flexion and control torsion for perfect connectivity with the pedals. The horizontal wedge openings on the toe enable the flexion of the foot to be controlled on and off the bike.Northwave Clan, Grip on Your RideNorthwave’s Flat Specific Sole System makes its debut on the Clan, the best performing flat model launched by the Italian company. Thanks to its innovation, the Clan provides an unprecedented level of control when on the pedals, in spite of the lack of clips.The Clan was built to perform, and to be enjoyed flat out. Northwave’s abrasion-resistant welded upper, with large breathable mesh inserts are perfect on even the hottest days and placed welded TPU reinforcements on the toe and heel provide excellent impact protection. The mesh tongue with customized padding combines protection and breathability, whilst the closure can be adjusted through non-stretch laces, easily stowed in the elasticated keeper whilst riding.The Gravity FPS outsole, co-developed by Northwave and Michelin Technical Soles, is equipped with the exclusive Gecko+ compound for extreme stickiness and grip, keeping your foot planted even on wet and slippery surfaces while still ensuring good durability. The tread design - which was inspired by Michelin’s Jet XCR tire - succeeds in providing maximum grip on pedals too. With its precisely designed tread pattern the sole provides excellent control on different terrains, thanks to the strong sculptures on the tip – for progressive traction – and heel area – for braking and durability.Key Features:The sole features the exclusive Northwave flat system that’s specially developed to deliver total control. The co-developed MICHELIN-NW compound tread ensures unprecedented grip on the pedals,A one of a kind, the adaptive TPU shank with openings and calibrated stiffness ensures greater control and support,The EVA midsole provides efficient shock absorption,Abrasion-resistant welded upper with large breathable mesh inserts,Welded TPU reinforcements on the toe and heel for impact protection,Mesh tongue with customized padding combines protection and breathability,Non-stretch laces are easily stowed in the elasticated keeper.
Key Features:Excellent thermoregulation of the foot thanks to the use of a 3D mesh with hexagonal cells,Reticular structure that guarantees resistance and lightness,Light and ventilated upper structure combining comfort and mechanical strength,Sole with carbon toe insert with stiffness index 12,Perforated sole to ensure the passage of air from the tip to the heel,Lace closure.
Key Features:Hyperlight XC sole made of 100% unidirectional carbon with a stiffness index of 14.0 for top power transfer,28% more abrasion resistant than TPU, the Michelin rubber inserts with dual-layer compound technology provide excellent grip with minimum weight,Made with the patented XFrame 2 ® construction, the upper transfers every watt of power while providing the snuggest, even fit with no pressure points.,The double SLW2 dial differentiates the pressure between the top of the instep and the toe for even better adaptability,Highly abrasion-resistant ultrathin reinforcements ensure 360° protection along the entire upper,Integrated heel system containing directional fibre prevents any slipping,Pro Regular Fit footbed with a stiffened dual density design increases the power transfer.
