Endura MTR Shell jacket


This is the lightest jacket on test, thanks to its minimal design and lightweight fabric. Don’t be fooled by the slim fit – well-placed stretch inserts plus a good cut through the shoulders mean there’s plenty of room to move and the MTR doesn’t feel restrictive in any way. ‘Minimal’ means no pockets, but if you’re wearing a pack that won’t worry you (plus there are silicone wear/grip patches on the shoulders for that) and the advantage is a no-fuss style that just works. The hood can be removed but won’t fit over all helmets. There’s an elastic loop at the back of the collar that allows the jacket to be rolled small and secured fast (it even fits into a jersey pocket). This is a waterproof to take with you on every ride, but it’s much better than just an emergency shell. The price isn’t bad too.
