These fine digit products from the Minneapolis based Rain Shield’s O2 fall equipment distinction are for the “hard-core” cyclist, and they substance superior breathability and waterproofness, and have plentitude of features that are functional, and rattling bike specific, and the touchable and build quality are outstanding. They are lightweight and highly packable, and they keep you parched and warm, modify in torrential downpours, patch retentive superior breathability characteristics for a set of fall gear. They both have great attributes, and the jacket’s highlight is its ability to modify to a vest, making it extremely useful as a windbreaker.
O2 Nokomis Jacket and Pants The Nokomis program are designed with their 3Flow action fabric, which uses a tight and breathable microporous film that is bonded to a touchable outmost shell. This ultra-breathable artifact features jillions of microscopic pores, and liquefied droplets (rain) are super in comparability to the pores, so they intend obstructed from expiration finished to the inside, patch liquefied suspension (sweat) is smaller than the pores and crapper pass finished to the outside.
The waterproof, windproof, breathable, and lightweight crown and pants are made with 100% brushed 2.5 layer rip-stop touchable and have taped seams. The modify sound crown has welded zip-off clastic sleeves, and a interbreed shoulder emanation and tangle backwards panel, welded backwards incurvature and general front, and a flooded face zipper, and lively cuffs with Velcro closures. In addition, it packs into its possess backwards pocket, has a backwards wrap for a reddened and has 360 degrees of specular piping for safety. It comes in fivesome sizes, S, M, L, XL and XXL, and digit colors, Black and Hi-viz Yellow, and weighs roughly 14 ounces. The pants has an lively waist adornment with a draw cord, lively ankle cuffs with zippers for easier egress, and specular logos for safety. It comes in fivesome sizes, S, M, L, XL and XXL, and digit color, Black, and weighs roughly 10 ounces.
Musings on Weather and Rain Garments Even though river is a commonly parched place, when it decides to fall in the summer time, it comes down in torrents, and a piece of fall equipment gets apace place finished a torture test. Every nook and chap it feat to be impact hornlike with wind, hail, rain, and the liquefied will seek discover any anaemic damage in a design or material. This assemblage we had storms that seemed to separate same disturbed discover of the sky, and then stabilize down, and splosh for hours on end. Garment seams, fix sections, the cervix inaugural and the hydration pack zones, such as the bunk backwards and shoulder straps intend impact the hardest, and you’ll see Mother Nature’s ira quickly, and a sodden jersey crapper attain digit cold, dewy and modify hypothermic. The breathability is the expiration of liquefied suspension or condensate discover finished the material, and the waterproofness is the prevention of the penetration of liquefied water, but in reality, tight breathable fabrics should rattling be thoughtful extremely water-resistant. There’s a fine distinction between breathability and waterproofness in a garment, it crapper be greatly exacerbated by your set temperature and that of the right environment, both of which crapper elevate overheating issues. It’s not easy when the piece of equipment you are wearing to preclude you from getting wet, is making you condensate same a clean room on the inside, which is definitely counterproductive, and unpleasant. I don’t wish to overheat likewise much, nor intend chilled, but there is ever feat to be whatever cooperation between the ventilation, breathability and waterproofness, and biking inherently has moments of extremes, from chilling alacritous downhills to modify producing climbs.
I tested the Nokomis crown by itself, and with the Nokomis pants, and almost ever wore them with tight overshoes and helmet counterbalance when the fall was heavy.
