Two Jackets, Two Kinds of Riders
PEARL iZUMi’s women’s windbreaker lineup keeps it simple: one jacket built around adaptability on the road, one built around readiness on the trail. Find yours below.
Women’s Quest Barrier Convertible Jacket
Built for road and gravel riders who can’t predict what the day is going to do. Lightweight ripstop fabric with a 5-CFM wind rating handles windchill and light rain, while snap-off sleeves let you convert from jacket to vest on the fly. No stopping, no fussing. A rear upper mesh panel vents heat when the pace picks up, and a YKK® two-way zipper provides on-the-fly ventilation and access to jersey pockets underneath. BioViz® reflective elements extend visibility to 100 meters for early starts and late finishes.
Women’s Summit Wind Jackets
These jackets are made for trail riders who move fast and pack light. Lightweight ripstop fabric with PI Dry® DWR blocks wind and sudden showers, and the whole jacket stows into its own interior pocket when conditions improve. A built-in bungy clip lets you secure it to your bike’s top tube for quick access mid-ride, two zippered hand pockets hold essentials, and a YKK® two-way zipper vents from the bottom without requiring a full stop. BioViz® reflective elements round out the visibility story.
Women’s Windbreakers With a Hood
The Women’s Summit Wind Jacket has you covered. Its low-profile hood is designed to fit over a cycling helmet, adding real warmth on cold descents and post-ride without getting in your way while you’re pedaling. It’s a detail that’s easy to overlook until you’re halfway up a ridge and a cold front rolls in.
