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.

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! ;)
