The Hyde XT Drystar®XF textile jacket is engineered for heavy off-road and/or dual sport side of the adventure touring category. Featuring an extremely lightweight four-way stretch, single layer waterproof outer shell main construction, the Hyde XT Drystar®XF is reinforced with ripstop nylon on the external arms & shoulders for high levels of durability. As its name would suggest, the Hyde XT has a laminated Drystar®XF (XF for extra flow) waterproof & highly breathable membrane for excellent wet weather performance. The laminated breathable & waterproof Drystar®XF membrane is of critical benefit to motorcyclists riding in the wet because it makes the jacket super compact & keeps it very lightweight. The advantage of Drystar®XF is that it doesn’t allow any water to penetrate or soak into or through the shell, as the membrane keep the jacket from getting waterlogged & heavy & protects the rider from the elements as well as prevents windchill, all while simultaneously allowing the fabric to breathe. The Hyde XT is adaptable to the climate, with its long direct ventilation ports on each side at the front & back, zippered air scoops on the forearms, & the Super-airflow panel on the front zipper opening which provides lots of ventilation & breathability when the weather gets warm. Internally, the Hyde XT has a detachable armored inner mesh jacket which is zippered in with Nucleon Flex Plus Level 1 rated armor. Since the Hyde XT has a heavier focus & potential for off-road riding, the inner mesh jacket is designed to keep the armor close to the rider’s body for ultimate comfort & protection, eliminating any movement restriction linked to the outer shell & armor interaction when muscling a bike off-road. The inner armored mesh jacket is also completely upgradeable to level 2 Nucleon Flex Pro armor & is Tech-Air® ready to accommodate the Tech-Air® 5 or in the future, the Tech-Air® Off-Road System (when the product becomes available) for the ultimate in rider protection. Extremely versatile allowing the Hyde XT to function as a casual garment when off the bike, or also as the perfect daily commuter jacket.
