Endura Pro SL Primaloft jacket review

Endura’s lightweight quilted jacket provides effective insulation when the mercury drops

Cycling Weekly Verdict

For a jacket with its degree of warmth, the Endura Pro SL Primaloft jacket is lightweight and compact. The quilted front and rear panels are very effective, as is the windproof fabric used, making it comfortable down to low temperatures. The back does tend to get a bit sweaty though, despite the laser cut ventilation which it incorporates.

The Endura Pro SL Primaloft jacket is a lightweight outer layer with plenty of insulation. This is provided by quilted PrimaLoft insulation in the front and rear panels. The front-facing parts of the arms are padded too. The side panels and the rear of the arms are much thinner, stretchy single layer fabric. All the face fabrics are windproof too.

So you get excellent warmth and insulation in the Endura Pro SL Primaloft jacket; I was comfortable wearing just a sleeveless baselayer underneath in temperatures around 10C. Typically in such conditions, I find my arms get cold, but this wasn’t the case with the Endura Pro SL Primaloft jacket. It was comfortable at lower temperatures too with a thicker, long sleeved baselayer underneath.
