The Etxeondo Dena Gore-Tex Windstopper Jacket featured here at Escapa is a cycling jacket designed to provide consistent protection against the wind, maintain body temperature, and effectively wick away excess heat during exercise.
Its construction combines Windstopper technology by Gore-Tex Labs with a Gore-Tex ePE membrane, creating an effective barrier against cold air and offering protection from light moisture. Its high level of breathability helps maintain comfort when the intensity increases or conditions change during your ride.
With a recommended temperature range of 4 to 18 °C, it’s a versatile garment for training and long rides during fall, mild winters, and early spring.
Gore-Tex Windstopper with ePE membrane
Windstopper technology by Gore-Tex Labs blocks the wind to reduce body heat loss during descents, on exposed sections, and on days with low temperatures.
The Gore-Tex ePE membrane combines wind protection, moisture resistance, and high breathability. This construction allows moisture generated during exercise to escape to the outside, helping to keep you drier and more comfortable.
The jacket offers the following technical ratings as stated by Etxeondo:
- Wind resistance: 5/5
- Breathability: 4.5/5
- Thermal insulation: 4.5/5
- Water resistance: 3.5/5
- Lightweight: 5/5
- Fit: 5/5
*Water resistance is designed for moisture, splashes, and light precipitation. For heavy or prolonged rain, we recommend using a dedicated waterproof jacket.
Thermal Regulation During Exercise
The technical fabric acts as an insulator to maintain a stable temperature when the intensity drops, while retaining the necessary breathability during climbs and demanding workouts.
This balance between insulation and moisture wicking allows you to wear the Dena on rides with frequent changes in pace, temperature, or wind exposure.
Full-length zipper with dual sliders
The double-slider front zipper allows you to open the jacket from the top or bottom. This design makes it easy to adjust ventilation while riding and access the pockets of an inner layer without having to completely remove the jacket.
On climbs or during intense efforts, the bottom opening helps quickly release excess heat. When starting a descent, the jacket can be fully zipped up to restore maximum wind protection.
Ergonomic Fit for Cycling
The anatomical cut is designed to adapt to the cyclist’s position on the bike. Its design provides a snug and stable fit, minimizing the amount of fabric exposed to the wind without restricting mobility in the arms, shoulders, and back.
The garment’s stretch allows you to maintain an athletic position and follows your movements while pedaling, whether on the shift levers or the lower part of the handlebars.
Three rear pockets
The jacket features three back pockets to organize the gear you need during your ride. Their capacity allows you to carry nutrition, tools, and accessories while keeping them accessible as you ride.
You can use them to carry:
- Energy bars and gels
- Cell phone
- Spare camera
- Multi-tool, gloves, or neck warmer
- Vest or compact garment
Reflective details
Reflective elements on the back increase visibility when illuminated by other vehicles. They provide an added safety feature during rides at dawn, dusk, or on days with low light.
SPF 50+ sun protection
The fabric offers SPF 50+ sun protection against UVA rays, a useful feature during long rides and on sunny days, even in the colder months.
