Pearl Izumi Men's Optik Jacket

It's chilly and foggy out, but you don't want to ride in a stiff, crinkly rain jacket. Stretch side and sleeve panels add flexibility to the Pearl Izumi Men's Optik Jacket. The wind- and water-resistant fabric magically remains highly packable and super lightweight, so it's easy to bring along and deploy the Optik. Pearl Izumi gave this biking jacket elastic along the cuffs and waist so the hems won't bunch up during your ride.

Why pay for something that doesn't exist That s the feeling you get when you receive the Pearl Izumi Optik Jacket in the mail, something that has the heft and feel of a sandwich bag, and looks about as strong as tissue paper. Well, now consider. You wanted a jacket that was ultra-lightweight, packable, wind and water proof, something that would increase your visibility, and keep your core warm. What you wanted is what you just received in the mail. Take it to the kitchen sink, turn the water on and hold the vest under the nozzle. Watch the water bead up on the surface of the vest, and notice that your hand is dry underneath. Water doesn't go through the fabric, and neither does the wind, which automatically increases the warmth of your chest area. It packs to the size of a small apple, has a hidden zipper pocket for essentials and reflective logos front and back. You're set, now enjoy the ride.

Ultra-lightweight and highly packable, this wind and water-resistant jacket is an essential piece for those unpredictable fall rides. Updated to have stretch side and sleeve panels where you need them for optimum performance and fit.
