As a jacket or with the sleeves zipped off as a vest, Pearl Izumi's Elite Barrier Convertible Jacket delivers the ultimate in portable weather protection. It boasts Pearl's Elite Barrier fabric that breathes while keeping the elements at bay so you stay dry. To prevent overheating, you've got Direct-Vent panels for extra ventilation. And, this trick shell has two zippered hand-warmer pockets, a back pocket and reflective accents for safety!

A jacket doesn’t have to be waterproof to keep a rider comfortable in occasional rain. And if you can avoid a jacket with a full waterproof membrane it will allow extra breathability to keep it from feeling like a sauna on the inside. With our PI Dry® technology, this jacket sheds all but the worst of the rain, which makes it perfect for anyone who wants a weatherproof jacket with enough stretch to fit like the rest of their kit. Thanks to its minimal bulk, it fits easily in a jersey pocket when the sun emerges, making it a great everyday long-ride companion.
