Endura is famed for tough, practical, simplistic performance clothing. Hailing from Scotland, a place and a climate where good function and longevity of outdoor clothing is essential, the brand is certainly well placed to meet customer needs. Happily we're pleased to report that the Women's SingleTrack Jacket is a great-fitting product that comfortably outperforms its price.
Good first impressions
Unpacking the SingleTrack waterproof jacket in the office I was greeted with “Well, if you don’t want that I know someone who does!” It’s fair to say there was a great deal of admiration for the colourful, slim cut waterproof. The bold purple and contrasting teal coloured zips make the jacket immediately stand out without being garish.
At first glance, the SingleTrack appears as if it might be one of the dreaded 'boil in the bag' varieties of waterproof, but on this score I couldn’t have been more wrong. After enduring one of the wettest rides of 2015, the fully sealed 2.5 layer waterproof fabric breathed well and kept me dry, other than the small amount of inevitable clamminess indicative of waterproofs.

It balanced temperatures well, meaning I stayed warm when stopped because of other riders' mechanical issues but didn't overheat when pedalling. The material of the jacket feels slightly rubbery and plastic against bare skin when things do hot up, which can become distracting, but as the fabric breathes moisture is quickly dissipated.
The SingleTrack jacket features a hood that can be rolled up and stowed in the collar, though we preferred to let it out
Well vented but not 100% waterproof
