Showers Pass places among pedal- and medal-worthy brands as Metro Jacket comes off the line strong. Waterproof and breathable, this 2.5 layer hardshell lands at under 11oz with a non-constrictive fit that’s never sloppy. The two-tone, subtle color blocking feels moto-inspired with upper back vents to channel airflow. Cyclists appreciate angled back pockets while curb hoppers appreciate shoulder abrasion resistance; messenger packs don’t mean premature retirement. Off-bike, testers appreciated the soft collar and front two-way zipper to control temps. Be ready, however, for the “pockets to nowhere;” zips expressly for venting rather than stashing urban essentials.
