Description
For riders who prioritize protection, functionality, and a clean design, the John Doe XTM Hoodie V3 Softshell Rip-Stop is the ideal choice. It combines proven XTM® protective construction with a lightweight, high-performance Softshell Rip-Stop outer fabric — made for changing weather conditions.
This softshell is lightweight and flexible to wear, delivering reliable performance thanks to its Waterstop function and a tested 10,000 mm water column. On the bike, that means solid protection against drizzle and light to moderate rain — especially when paired with YKK AquaGuard zips, which further enhance wind and rain protection.
On the bike or in the city, this hoodie keeps you dry, protected, and looking sharp — for maximum performance in any weather.
Details that make the difference: a slightly longer back for more comfort in the riding position, an adjustable hood with One-Hand Stopper and anti-flap Button-Down system, plus the Bund-Eingriff function to keep the sleeves perfectly in place.
