I’ve been in the Endura MT500 for most of the winter, and I did some rides down a negative 15 (with a down jacket underneath), some rides in the wind, some rides in circles where the rain has been at my front, sides and rear and I can safely say this is not a bad jacket.
I can get the zips up and down with thick gloves on, the only thing I would like would be bigger wrist closure flaps so I can grab the tabs easier when I’m doing the ‘pit vents.
The hood is slow to roll up so I tuck it inside the jacket and leave it unrolled.
Oh, it also breathes as well as my last couple of eVent jackets!
