PNS Mechanism Men's Pertex Rain Jacket Black

Regular price €280.00

The Pas Normal Studios Men's Mechanism Pertex Rain Jacket is a lightweight, packable cycling shell designed to balance reliable weather protection with high breathability during demanding rides.

Its Pertex® Shield Air 3-Layer construction uses an air-permeable nanofibre membrane that allows heat and moisture to escape while keeping the elements out. Soft and quiet face fabrics improve comfort, while internally taped seams and a waterproof two-way YKK zipper add protection in wet conditions. When the weather clears, the jacket packs down small enough to store in a jersey pocket.

          The Pertex® Rain Jacket

          Protect yourself from the elements

          PNS' new, lightweight and packable rain jacket with Pertex® Shield Air fabric, protects you from whatever you got yourself into. Torrential fall downpours. Spring showers. Warm tropical rain. No matter the season, there's a chance of getting caught in the rain. The updated PNS Mechanism Pertex® Rain Jacket rain jacket offers the perfect balance between protection and breathability.

          A new rain jacket striking the optimal balance of protecting you from the elements and letting you breathe when pushing. The air permeable nanofibre membrane of the Pertex® Shield Air 3-Layer fabric creates a waterproof jacket that maintains a high level of breathability.

          A fabric developed for intense activities in even the most extreme conditions. The Shield Air membrane has a precisely tailored nanofibre structure, with a vast network of nanoscale pores. Allowing air to pass through for exceptional breathability and venting, without the need to build up excess humidity. Combining this durably waterproof membrane with lightweight, soft and quiet face fabrics, Pertex® Shield Air provides 3 layers of unparalleled comfort.

          The Mechanism collection

          Designed with racing in its core

          The PNS Mechanism Collection is race-fit, with carefully selected technical fabrics. Balancing performance and aesthetics for the days that matter the most. Maats proudly stocks the complete Mechanism collection.

          Always evolving

          A year-on-year evolving collection, Mechanism embodies PNS' approach to design. Balancing aesthetics, simplicity, minimalism and functionality. Presenting a selection of items, created to match across the seasons. Shaping and elaborating on a collection evolving, working as a system.

          Updated Deep Winter styles

          The Mechanism Autumn/Winter '23 collection introduces an update to the PNS Deep Winter Bib Shorts and Deep Winter Long Bibs. The articulated knee construction is refined to suit a wider range of body types and the 3-layer main fabric is updated with a more stretchable membrane, creating a highly protective product for the coldest of days.

          Layer up!

          Tough cookies keep on cycling in winter, also when temperatures drop to as low as below zero degrees. What to wear to keep you warm enough? Let's cut straight through to the answer: it's all about layering. With your core kept warm, you unlock the secret to riding comfortably in the harshest of weather. At Maats, we advise to adhere to ''The Three Layer Principle'', consisting of:

          #1: The baselayer

          This is the first and arguably most key component to keeping you warm. Various options of thermal fabrics allow you to make the right choice for the temperature you're defying that day. For instance, pick merino wool for its perfect temperature regulation capacities, or choose Polartec for state-of-the-art heat technology. Wear a snug fit to make sure the top layers won't look wrinkly.

          #2: The longsleeve jersey

          This middle piece may seem excessive, but let us tell you: it isn't. The longsleeve jersey is the ideal inbetween layer to add a level of temperature regulation, combined with the practical function of its pockets (as both layer #1 and #3 typically don't have these). Longsleeve jerseys come in variations from thin textiles to thermal fleece-lined fabrics. Choose what you feel aligns best with the outside temperature.

          #3: The gilet or jacket

          Lastly, wear a gilet or jacket over all of the above. A gilet keeps your core warm yet ventilates through your armpits, whereas a jacket's sleeves not only keep your body warmth, but also cover your arms to cold riding wind. The great thing about this third layer is that you can wear it (partly) unzipped to cool down, or get rid of it altogether during your ride. Lightweight gilets/jackets typically can be stowed easily into a back pocket of your jersey.
          Now don't think this is it: treat yourself to a thermal long bib, and take care of your extremities by adding a beanie, a neck tube, gloves, thermal socks, overshoes and what not. At Maats, we have it all! ;)
