Built for big rides and bigger weather, the Men's Summit 3L WxB Jacket is built for wet and wild trail conditions. This men's mountain bike rain jacket is powered by Polartec® NeoShell® fabric, delivering the rare balance of waterproof protection and true breathability, so you stay dry from the inside out, even during high-output efforts.
Designed specifically for aggressive riding, the 3-layer construction is fully seam-sealed and cut with a trail-tuned, articulated fit that moves with you whether you're grinding climbs or ripping descents. A helmet-compatible hood adds coverage without restricting vision or mobility, while the eco-conscious durable water-repellent (DWR) finish keeps rain and mud at bay without harmful chemicals.
When the skies clear, the lightweight design packs easily into your trail bag, ready to deploy again when the weather shifts. A drop-tail hem for splash protection rounds out a jacket that's built to perform when the elements won't cooperate.
Pair it with the Summit Pant or a mountain bike jersey for a complete all-conditions trail kit.

Reviews
Pretty perfect
"Jacket is great. Comfortable and has a good cylinder rating! Only thing I’d say is the jacket is a little short in the torso. With the hood up and hands on the handlebars the lower part of the jacket rides up on the back. Other than making some readjustments when riding it does the job and is great! One last thing, the hood cinch is perfect!"
Summit 3L WxB jacket lichen color
"Great fit of the jacket, material is soft for a 3L garment, love the color. I wanted the jacket to have room to layer under it. I’m 6’3” with long arms, this size fit my arm length perfectly. I haven’t had the chance to try it in the cold or rain weather yet, but I think it will keep me dry and block the wind."
I love this jacket!
"The jacket is 100% waterproof, and I'm super impressed with that, as well as the comfortable fit. The hood fits perfectly over my helmet. The first time I wore this jacket was a commute home in a steady rain with warm temps. I stayed 100% dry. I didn't overheat. I was so comfortable. Thanks, Pearl Izumi. I love this jacket."
Seems great
"Well, it hasn’t rained since I bought the jacket, but PI can’t wait for a review so…. It looks and fits great and I have a great track record with PI products, so I’m sure this will workout fine."
"Nice and room for more movement. I feel comfortable while riding my bike."
Questionable Material?
"The website has this jacket listed as made with Polartec Neoshell material. However, nowhere on the jacket does it have the Polartec name or logo. I reached out to customer service twice with no response."
False Advertising??
"This is advertised as being made with Polartec Neoshell material. However, the Polartec name and logo are nowhere to be found on the jacket. I reached out to Pearl Izumi (twice) regarding this and they did not respond. The material used is questionable."
Great looking jacket with great features. Fits just a hair slim
"I'm 5'11 and 168lbs. Ordered this in a Med and I'm hoping underlayers don't cause a fit issue because it's a great jacket, both in function and style! Not typically a fan of green either, but this shades plays nice with others and is more stylish than I anticipated which means I can wear it off the bike."
Form fitted , well made jscket
"Beautiful jacket and seems very well made. I have not had the chance to test in rain weather. It's a snug fit . . . so it's best of riding but not as comfortable for daily use . . but i still like the jacket , fit and look."
