The Mission Workshop Acre Altosphere Jacket is our masterpiece crafted to be the lightest and most advanced 2 - layer cycling shell. Tailored for high - output activities, this shell is a game - changer. It uses an ultralight stretch textile paired with a waterproof membrane. The un - taped seams are a brilliant touch, allowing you unrestricted movement and better air circulation.
For the main body fabric, we've chosen the outstanding Zero Wind® by Pidigi. With 70 years of continuous research and fabric innovation, Pidigi is a leader in the field, and their Italian - made Zero Wind® fabric is nearly flawless. Weighing in at an incredibly light 53 gm/m2, this two - layer fabric is a strong shield against wind and rain.
The smart membrane of the jacket is both waterproof and hydrophilic. It effectively wicks sweat away from your body while repelling outside water. And here's the cool part: the more intense your physical activity, the more breathable the membrane becomes. To enhance water resistance, the shell is treated with BIO - WR Technology, a non - fluorinated ecological DWR that repels water and soil.
This jacket also comes with a YKK two - way front zip for easy ventilation. The rear pocket has reflective details, making you more visible on the road. The soft interior collar is cut higher to provide extra wind protection. What's more, the jacket can be packed into its own back pocket for convenient storage and can be attached to a bike frame or seat bag using an integrated elastic lash cord.

Using your Mission Workshop Acre Altosphere Jacket is a breeze. First, put it on just like any regular jacket. The two - way front zip makes it easy to adjust ventilation according to your needs. If it's windy, zip it up high to let the soft high collar protect you from the wind.
When you're done cycling, you can pack the jacket into its back pocket. Then, use the elastic lash cord to attach it to your bike frame or seat bag. This way, it's always within reach.
As for care, it's important to follow the washing instructions on the label. Since it has a special waterproof membrane and BIO - WR Technology, use a gentle detergent and avoid using harsh chemicals. Hang it to dry naturally instead of putting it in the dryer. This will help maintain its performance and durability for a long time.
