Santini Cycling and Polartec have teamed up to create a unique waterproof jacket with a highly breathable monolithic membrane and durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
Fully heat-sealed and abrasion-resistant, the Santini Magic rain jacket includes:
Extended back to keep you completely dry even in the rain. Very lightweight, 155 grams in size medium. The compact pack size makes it easy to store the jacket in the side zipper pocket on the back of the jacket.
Polartec Power Shield RPM fabric, made from 100% recycled polyester, is waterproof, non-PFAS, lightweight, and extremely stretchy, supporting the outdoor industry’s well-documented transition to new materials with reduced environmental impact. This represents an important advance. In addition to manufacturing, we also strive to reduce the total carbon footprint of our final products.
Polartec Power Shield RPM is one such fabric, featuring “a durable non-PFAS coating to repel precipitation and a 10,000 mm hydrostatic head to prevent external moisture.”
In addition to material innovation, the fabric also delivers what the brand notes is an “industry-leading breathability spec of 30,000g/m2/24hrs.”
Perhaps just as importantly, Power Shield RPM addresses one of the biggest problems for competitive cyclists, performance loss due to overheating, and the launch announcement states that it has “up to 50% lower,” reads the performance headline.
The stretch of the membrane fabric provides full range of movement on the bike, just as users of high-end performance fabrics have come to expect and expect. Designers work to minimize looseness in the fabric, which can cause flapping in the wind. drag.
The Magic Jacket has a double front zipper that can be opened from both the bottom and top, a high collar for maximum protection from wind and rain, and a reflective Santini logo on the back to ensure visibility and safety even in low-light conditions. I will.
At launch, the Magic Jacket will be available exclusively in black at all Santini stores and VIA stores in London and online at santinicycling.com, with an RRP of £190.
The release of the Spring/Summer 2025 collection will introduce additional color variations and will also include a sleeveless version.
