Description

The new Showers Pass Elite III continues to be the premium cycling jacket for riding in all weather conditions, after more than twenty five years of development. It offers the perfect blend of comfort, breathability and dryness ensure that every day in the saddle is a joy.

The first thing you’ll notice is how beautifully made it is, then as you pick it up you’ll wonder how it can be so light. The cut is designed to compliment your riding position and prevent drafts, whilst the pockets are where they can be reached. Delve deeper and there are vents to maximise breathability, with seals to ensure you remain dry.

History:

The legendary Showers Pass, is a route through Humboldt County, California in the rainy Pacific Northwest, known for its glorious flowing trails and wet weather riding in equal measure! Honed in Portland and enjoyed here in the UK.

Having first offered the Rogue back in 2012, we are very excited by the new Elite III in 2024, which began with the original Elite I in 1997.

Follow the weather/Weather report:

Shower Pass is tested in Portland, which gets hotter, colder and wetter than in London. Here’s how the annual rainfall compares:
• London: 23 inches/585mm per year

Pair your new Elite III with a fitted base layer to regulate your temperature throughout the year, staying dry and comfortable throughout: one jacket, multiple seasons. See the fitting guide inline.
