New: Endura Hummvee Convertible Jacket
Endura presents a lightweight 2.5-layer jacket suitable for the transition period that can be converted into a gilet in a few simple steps.

The Scots have experience with changeable weather. And the Endura Hummvee jacket can also change with the weather. In cold and wet conditions, the loosely cut 2.5-layer material protects against the elements. When it gets drier, the partially open zips on the sleeves allow fresh air to flow in. When it gets warmer, zip the sleeves and back off completely and wear the Hummvee as an airy gilet.

The sleeves and back are made in one piece. The sleeves are attached to the waistcoat with a zip. The back section, which covers the area over the shoulder blades, is fastened with press studs. There is a mesh insert underneath that allows excess heat and moisture to escape. The connecting zips and press studs do not get in the way even when wearing a rucksack.

  The waterproof zips hold the sleeves in place. Behind them are the press studs used to fasten the back section.Photo: Hersteller The waterproof zips hold the sleeves in place. Behind them are the press studs used to fasten the back section.

Sebastian Brust was born in 1979 and was originally socialised on his grandmother's folding bike, but has mainly been riding studded tyres since his fifth birthday. Loves all kinds of bikes - and merging with nature. Believes that disc brakes are much safer today than they were 15 years ago and thinks he has helped with his brake and pad tests. However, the trained vehicle technology engineer very much regrets that the bicycle industry is orientating itself on what he considers to be the wrong ideals of the car industry. At BIKE, he corrects, produces and organises digital content on the website.
