Spotlight: Fox Racing Fluid Rain Jacket

Fox Racing Fluid Rain Jacket

Wet and muddy rides are a fun affair but it helps to have gear like this Fox jacket for when the weather turns dismal. Check inside for more details.

This polyurethane jacket has came in quite handy in more than one occasion.  It repels any mud or water quite well and keeps you and your clothes dry.  At the end of the muddy or wet day, you’ll be glad if you’ve got one of these on.

Features include:

• Lycra binding at collar, cuffs, and hem
• Reflective tape at edge of back cape vent for better road visibility
• Center front two-way zipper with storm flap and Velcro closures
• More length in the rear of the jacket provides added coverage
• (available in clear or Charcoal)  S-XXL

The jacket itself is not too special but does have some nice features to it.  It’s pretty breathable and has mesh along the sides of the jacket to help your body breathe and facilitate airflow without too much condensation buildup on the inside of the jacket during heavy activity.

The back of the jacket is caped slightly so it can breathe out the back as well.

Overall this jacket has been a great little asset on messy rides and keeps you and your other clothes clean, dry, and ready for the next day.

They’re also quite easy to clean.  I’ve used a hose and the washing machine a few times to clean it off after a messy ride and it keeps coming back asking for more.

There are plenty of other jackets like this available (and probably without the huge FOX branding logo on the back to boot) but this one has served me quite well.  You can find this jacket on closeout at most places,   Greenfish Adventure Sports currently has it on sale at $14.
