First, one must even say that it all over the world are not the jacket makes mountain biking in the rain for that one stays dry underneath! No jacket can sweat as much somewhere that you do not carry in its own juice stands - done! There are still large differences in raincoats. Previously had the Spray II which was not sealed and not good breathing has. The Alp-X is very well laid out, there is still a certain amount of airflow to the lower heat - provides and wetness. The Atmungaaktivität is top! Absolutely great is also the two-way zipper, which provides for a moderate rain for additional ventilation. The jacket material makes a robust impression, and does not feel uncomfortable on the skin. The hood is likely to need while cycling but not because the jacket is not too much to cut cycling jacket is you can also put on hiking. I can recommend the jacket fully and that's saying something because I usually find something what could be better! The price, however, is fierce !!!
