Your Perfect Companion for Fall Gravel Rides
Conquering the Chill with the Quest AmFIB® Jacket
Embracing the cooler temperatures and gusty winds of autumn doesn't mean sacrificing comfort on your gravel rides. The PEARL iZUMi Men's Quest AmFIB® Jacket stands as a testament to the fusion of warmth and functionality. Touting our PRO 3-layer, fleece-backed AmFIB softshell fabric, this jacket emerges as the armor you need against the insidious bite of cold winds and the capriciousness of fall weather with its impressive windproof and water-resistant qualities.
With versatility at its core, the jacket’s relaxed fit accommodates a diverse range of layering, giving you the freedom to adjust to the day's demands. Imagine heading out on a brisk morning; your torso cocooned in the warm embrace of the Quest AmFIB® Jacket, unfazed by the inverted thermometer readings. When the sun capitulates to grey clouds and errant raindrops patter on the softshell exterior, you remain unperturbed, knowing that your jacket's water resistance maintains your comfort. Safety need not be a concern as the fading light of dusk approaches; the jacket includes reflective elements to ensure visibility during your post-sunset pedal.
Moreover, the jacket's thoughtful design eliminates the chill's desperate reach with dual waist adjusters and features a rear zippered pocket to secure your smartphone or energy snacks. This is more than a jacket; it's a statement that your riding season is far from over—it's simply entering a new, thrilling chapter.
