When performance, protection, and packability matter most, the Men's PRO Barrier Jacket delivers. Designed for race-day conditions and hard training efforts, this ultralight shell offers wind-blocking coverage and breathable weather protection without slowing you down.
At its core is a protective two-layer membrane that provides windproof, water-resistant performance while maintaining excellent breathability to prevent overheating. The high-stretch knit fabric allows for a compressive, race-fit silhouette that layers seamlessly over your jersey, minimizing drag and movement at high speed. To enhance wet-weather performance, the jacket is finished with PI Dry® C0 technology, a PFAS-free durable water-repellent treatment that sheds light rain and road spray.
A two-way YKK® front zipper allows for ventilation from the bottom and easy access to rear jersey pockets mid-ride. Elastic cuffs and a silicone rear gripper keep the jacket in place when you're deep in the drops.
This is your go-to shell for descents, tempo rides, and days when the weather refuses to cooperate, but your ride can't wait.
Pair it with our Men's PRO Thermal Jersey for a fast, insulated layering system, or explore more men's cycling jackets to complete your high-performance wardrobe.

Reviews
Best cycling shell / jacket I have ridden in...
"Best cycling shell / jacket I have ridden in. Great wind breaker qualities. Love how its stretchy material form fits over base layers. And breathability is impressive."
Game Changer!
"This jacket is awesome. Haven't used it in steady rain yet, but for cool mornings and windy conditions it works great! Around 50 F I would probably switch to a gilet, but for anything colder this is the go-to. Layer a thermal jersey underneath and you're good to go down to freezing temps. I'm 5'8" and purchased a medium - the fit is a little loose with a short sleeve jersey underneath, but leaves room for a long sleeve/layers. Because when the weather sucks I'd rather be comfortable than aero!"
Nice jacket
"Have tried on a cool, windy day, and its tight fit was nice. No extra wind noise from a jacket slapping around."
Great Jacket!
"Love the feel, breathability and look of this jacket. Highly recommend."
Almost perfect
"Great fabric, but the fit needs some work. Although I wear a medium in almost everything PI makes, while the fit in the torso is perfect, the sleeves are loose and baggy. I doubt I will wear this as much as I had hoped to."
Wrong style and material
"The style and material is not what I was loooking for. I could not determine if I would like the style and material from the description. I returned the item."
PRO Barrier Jacket
"Love the material, color and Pearl Izumi quality. Sadly, it lacks the form fit I was expecting and it flaps as speed increases, very annoying. I purchased size medium and wonder if a size small would be a more form fitting jacket without being too restrictive. I am 6 feet tall, 156 pounds, 40 inch chest, 33 inch waist. I'm not a big person but I'm not a "stick-man"."
jacket too short
"it fits too snuggly and too short on my abdomen can you guys make a jacket that fits l large size riders with longer-torsos"
Perfection
"Love the quality and fit. I'm a cyclist with big shoulders and arms, and these babies ALWAYS fit!:)"
The best lightweight jacket
"Unquestionably the finest lightweight jacket I’ve ever owned. Great fit with stretchy fabric. Robust non-snag zipper that allows one hand operation. Compresses well to fit in jersey pocket. Perfect wind resistance with good rain protection. A truly brilliant piece!"
