Nukeproof Blackline: All Weather Clothing

The Nukeproof Blackline clothing range has just been expanded upon, with some great items designed for all weather conditions. Nukeproof already had some great looking and performing jerseys and shorts. Now the Nukeproof Blackline range includes waterproof jackets and shorts to protect you from the elements when out on the trails.

Nukeproof Blackline Waterproof Jacket

The Nukeproof Blackline Waterproof Jacket is designed for autumn and winter riding. It is fully waterproof, but also breathable. These are the two main things to consider when buying a jacket for mountain biking.

It is a lightweight jacket, but waterproof to 20,00mm2 and breathable to 20,000gsm. Even though it is very breathable, sometimes you will want some extra air around your armpits. Therefore, Nukeproof have put some zipped vents under the arms.

The fit is specific for mountain biking, so you won’t feel restricted when the terrain gets technical. When the weather turns particularly bad, you can put up the over helmet hood. This is adjustable, so it will fit over whatever helmet you have.
