Specialized Women’s Element 2.0 Hybrid Cycling Jacket Dark Carbon

The jacket is made from one of the most venerable materials in the business, Element Soft Shell, and as the 2.0 iteration of this jacket, it’s placed to provide full coverage and protection. As its name suggests, this material is extremely wind- and water-resistant. It’s also highly efficient at wicking moisture away from the skin, while also remaining soft against the skin and quite breathable. This fabric also possesses the perfect amount of stretch, which complements the articulated cycling cut of the jacket. Essentially, this all adds up to a complete freedom of movement throughout the motions of cycling, which equates to the elimination of any rubbing, pinching, or chafing.

The sleeves are made to be completely removable. This way, you’re able to wear it as a jacket when it’s pouring, and then zip off the sleeves and stow them away after you catch a break in the weather.

The Element 2.0 also includes other weather-fighting properties, like a full front zipper that prevents drafts and keeps the zipper off of your chin. There are also wrist seals that prevent air and water from infiltrating the jacket via the sleeve openings, and a pop collar that performs similar duties at the neck opening.
