ENDURA FS260-PRO ADRENALINE RACE CAPE

Available in white, pink or the turquoise option shown here, the race cape from Endura is super floaty-light at a mere 98g and comes with its own stuff sack to keep it compact when not in use. In fact, it ends up so small and light you’d better make a note of where you left it, if you want to make sure you don’t misplace it! There are plenty of other good features, too. The transparency means your race number will still be visible through it when worn underneath, which makes it perfect for an autumn/winter duathlon attempt without having to faff about taking race belts on and off mid-race, while a soft collar and zip garage keep it comfy. Cuffs are elasticated, while the breathable fabric also has a touch of stretch which helped the fit. Our size small was a good fit, with room to move but without being flappy. In showers this jacket did a good job of keeping the rain off, although in a deluge we did see some water ingress – mainly around the back of the neck – and the arms got very clammy. Still a useful product to have in your kit bag, though.
