Description
Endura MT500 Advanced Waterproof Jacket
The Endura MT500 Advanced Waterproof Jacket is a high-performance men’s mountain bike jacket designed to provide reliable protection when the weather turns wet and unpredictable. Constructed from lightweight, packable three-layer Pertex Shield fabric, it combines a 20,000mm waterproof rating with 20,000g/m/24hr breathability to help keep rain out while allowing moisture vapour to escape during active riding. Designed for demanding off-road conditions, the MT500 Advanced offers technical weather protection for mountain bikers who want to keep riding when the rain arrives.
Part of Endura’s MT500 mountain bike clothing collection, the Advanced Jacket features an adjustable, helmet-compatible SlideLock hood designed to provide secure coverage in exposed and windy conditions. When the hood is not required, integrated fasteners allow it to be secured to help prevent unwanted flapping while riding. Combined with its lightweight, packable construction, the MT500 Advanced is a practical waterproof outer layer for wet trail rides, exposed mountain routes and changeable British weather.

Pertex Shield Three-Layer Waterproof Fabric
The Endura MT500 Advanced Jacket uses premium three-layer Pertex Shield fabric, designed to combine waterproof protection, breathability and low weight. This technical construction helps prevent rain from penetrating the fabric while allowing moisture vapour generated during riding to escape.
The lightweight, packable design makes the jacket a practical choice for mountain bikers who need dependable weather protection without carrying an unnecessarily bulky outer layer. It can be taken along on rides where the forecast is uncertain and worn when conditions deteriorate.
20,000mm Waterproof Protection
With a waterproof rating of 20,000mm, the Endura MT500 Advanced Jacket is designed to provide a high level of resistance to water penetration. This makes it particularly suitable for mountain biking in heavy rain, exposed terrain and prolonged wet conditions.
The 20,000mm figure refers to the hydrostatic head rating of the waterproof fabric, indicating its resistance to water pressure under standardised testing. For riders, this provides a useful measure when comparing the jacket’s waterproof fabric performance with other cycling jackets.
20,000g Breathability for Active Riding
The MT500 Advanced features a breathability rating of 20,000g/m/24hr, designed to help moisture vapour escape through the fabric during physical activity. This is particularly important when mountain biking, where sustained climbs and technical riding can generate significant body heat even in cold or wet weather.
By combining waterproof protection with breathable Pertex Shield fabric, the jacket is designed to support comfort during demanding rides. As with any waterproof outer layer, the clothing worn underneath and the riding conditions will also influence temperature and moisture management.
Adjustable SlideLock Helmet-Compatible Hood
The Endura MT500 Advanced Jacket features an adjustable SlideLock hood designed to fit over a cycling helmet. This provides additional coverage around the head and neck when riding in heavy rain, strong wind or exposed mountain conditions.
The adjustable design helps maintain a secure fit when the weather deteriorates, reducing unwanted movement of the hood while riding. This is particularly useful on exposed trails where wind can make loose-fitting hoods uncomfortable.
Secure Hood Storage When Not in Use
When the rain stops or additional head coverage is no longer required, integrated fasteners allow the hood to be secured to help prevent it flapping while riding. This practical detail makes the MT500 Advanced more comfortable to wear in changing conditions, allowing riders to adapt without removing the jacket.
Lightweight and Packable for Trail Adventures
The lightweight construction of the MT500 Advanced makes it a useful waterproof layer for mountain bike rides where the weather may change throughout the day. Its packable Pertex Shield fabric allows the jacket to be carried as part of your riding kit when additional weather protection may be needed.
Whether you’re heading out for a short trail session or exploring more exposed off-road routes, having a packable waterproof jacket available provides flexibility when rain arrives unexpectedly.
