Battledress for toughing it out when the weather turns to custard. The Storm Trooper shields you from the torrent with waterproof-breathable 3 layer HydroFoil™ Plus fabric, fully tape-sealed seams and WhaleTail back. Its zip-away skullcap hood doubles as a prop for Buzz Aldrin impersonations.
After many years of use/abuse needed to replace my old stormtrooper jacket for the Sounds to Sounds brevet as it had lost its waterproofing (still great as a windbreaker though) turned up at Picton with another 90 or so riders and noticed it seemed to be 'the jacket of choice' with about 50 percent wearing the Stormtrooper. Great jacket in the rain, wind and even when things warmed up a bit. I glad I stuck with a product I was pleased with.
My third Storm Trooper. Ware proof, hardwearing and hi vis. Would have like one of those other colours but orange sticks out...
The Storm Trooper is a great all round jacket for commuting or bikepacking. The hood fits over typical helmets for added head warmth. The colour is great for visibility on the road. It's comfortable and a good fit with room for additional layers on underneath. Very highly recommended.
Nice safe orange colour, fantastically waterproof, lightweight, and packs away into a compact bundle. Love it!
