Alé R-EV1 Defence 2.0 jacket

In unpredictable shoulder-season riding conditions, breathability is the secret to staying comfortable

The perfect riding kit manages moisture like a pro, keeping sweat off the skin and eliminating the risk of catching a chill. Defence 2.0 is the ultimate go-to for transitional conditions. Lightweight, highly breathable and exceptionally stretchy, it allows unrestricted movement while maintaining the optimal body temperature with its fast-wicking design. The front, sleeves, and shoulders feature Polartec® Power Shield—a state-of-the-art fabric that’s both waterproof and breathable, with a plant-based, PFAS-free membrane and durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. On the back, this piece is constructed with a brushed, ultra-stretch polyamide, which provides unmatched comfort while keeping the overall weight minimal.

Polartec® Power Shield™
Award-winning Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro is both waterproof and breathable! It provides 20/20 breathable waterproof protection, ensuring that rain and snow stay out, and that moisture vapor escapes to prevent overheating. Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro features a monolithic membrane construction that allows it to block wind effectively, thus making it ideal for harsh outdoor conditions. Polartec® Power Shield™ Pro is free from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), offering a safer, more responsible answer to weather protection. Furthermore, the non-PFAS DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the Power Shield™ Pro membrane keeps you dry and comfortable without sacrificing resiliency or high stretch performance.
