Luminite II Jacket - Women's

Endura knows that year-round bicycle commuting is a way of life for many people, which is why it developed the original, heavy-duty Luminite Jacket. For the Luminite II, Endura built off its original tried-and-tested design, but added new paneling that incorporates more reflective elements than the previous version. It also built in an overhauled LED unit, furthering your visibility to motorists while out on the roads during unfavorable weather conditions.

Endura constructed the Luminite II from its fully seam-sealed waterproof fabric. This is a compact 2.5-layer material that was used for its ability to keep wind and water out. And while most jackets that use the multi-layer, seam taping approach as a means to keep the elements at bay, they usually do so by limiting themselves in the breathability department. Not so with the Luminite II. The lightweight flexible fabric does an excellent job of pulling moisture to the outer layer, keeping you dry and comfortable on the inside. And speaking of keeping the elements out, the Luminite II was built with a bonded and laser-cut double storm flap on the center zipper, assuring that your clothes underneath remain clean, dry, and presentable for the day.

The fit of the Luminite II is fairly close to the body, but not overly tight. Endura designed the jacket to fit over everyday clothing, cutting the panels more generously than traditional, road-specific outerwear. In addition to doing its research on what fit and fabrics works best for commuters, Endura also spent a good deal of time developing a visibility system to go along with the overall design. The Luminite II was built with reflective safety chevrons throughout, providing 360 degrees of visibility. Besides that, Endura beefed up its original integrated, rear-pocket LED light unit. This updated unit now emits eight times more lumens than the original version. It also provides three phases of flash frequency and can operate for up to 50hrs on a single coin cell battery. Additionally, the LED uses a twist stud attachment that allows it to be easily detached for laundering.

Finishing off the Luminite II, Endura added plenty of commuter-friendly features. A single zippered chest pocket and fleece-lined hand-warmer pockets provide safe storage for your bike lock keys and other essentials, while a rear zippered pocket with protective storm flap holds any additional gear. The collar was also given a smooth lining, and reflective hook-and-loop cuff adjusters let you dial in the perfect fit. And for the neck and hem adjustments, cords are concealed within the front pockets.

The Endura Luminite II Jacket is available in sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Black, Hi-Viz Pink, and Hi-Viz Yellow.
