When you need a waterproof lightweight jacket that just works, and is designed for on-the-bike comfort and performance, Century CC is just right. It’s reliably strong against wind and rain, but takes it easy on your wallet and is eco-friendly. The cycling-specific fit and features (like reflective trims, riding-accessible pockets, longer sleeves, and tail) make this a great choice for a not-so-basic bike jacket. Featuring Clean Colour dyes and 44% Recycled Nylon this jacket treads lightly on the planet.

Features

  • Artex™ 2.5-layer fabric for waterproof-windproof-breathable performance without bulk
  • Seam taped construction for maximum wind and waterproofness
  • Core vents and back vent for flow-through ventilation
  • Water-resistant zippers on core vents and chest pocket
  • YKK vislon zipper with storm flap
  • 360° of 3M™ reflective trim for maximum visibility
  • Chest pocket and large back pocket
  • Cinch cord at hem
  • Clean Color dyes and 44% Recycled Nylon fabric

Materials & Care

44% Recycled Nylon, 56% Nylon

Care

When washing, use a gentle cycle, with COOL water. If your washing machine does not have a COOL setting, use the COLD setting. Close all zippers and make sure pockets are empty.

We recommend using a free and clear detergent or a detergent specifically designed for technical garments. Traditional detergents, particularly powdered detergents can leave residues that can negatively affect the performance of your garment. Avoid all products with fabric softeners or bleach. Grangers Performance Wash is a great option.

Avoid excessive heat. Seam tape can fall apart in a dryer, and it is not a pretty sight. Excessive heat (even a car dashboard in the summer) can also cause multi-layered waterproof fabrics to delaminate.

I was looking for a bright, breathable jacket to wear over my motorcycle armor. I’ve been looking for almost a month, and nothing seemed just right until I came across this jacket. It fits well over the armor, and is breathable. Really happy that I found this jacket!

It lacks pockets. That is my only real complaint, but I am using because I needed some waterproof as my old jacket is not any longer after several years and of riding commuting with a back pack and wahings.

I would love to showers pass make a jacket with front pockets, underarm vents and better protective shoulders so backpacks do not make the stuff you do use on some bubble up and rip. Which is what be happened to my 400 dollar one.

i am very disappointed no front side pockets internal or external any more. As someone that commutes and uses those for keys and phone such as the backpack prevent access to the back pocket.

I think I should have been wearing a size fall for the last several years. This jacket fits me and has nice design features, all the needed quality zippers and reflective ribbons. And the price was nice.

I liked the jacket but had to return it because it was short in the chest

Good.
Needs two things - Front Zipper should work from Top or Bottom. Being able to lift zipper from bottom hugely important for best fit on bike. Your old jackets had this, Mistake not to have it on my new version.

Second, back zipper does not work well as cloth that overlies the zipper gets easily caught on it when trying to zip or unzip with gloves on the bike

I've worn the Century fairly steadily for about 15 months and am very pleased with the purchase. It does well keeping off rain and wind, and the pit zips are surprisingly effective at letting me vent heat once I've warmed up a bit. The front pocket is great for keys, but the back pocket is difficult to reach. Reflective strips are well placed, though I wish they were wider. I wear a 39 men's suit and the medium fits well, with room for layers underneath.

The jacket is very good on many levels. The pit zips and the chest zipper along with the large sleeve openings allow for excellent temperature regulation. The material is absolutely waterproof and the cuffs and collar are well thought out. On the whole, happy with the jacket. Where improvements could be made: the main zipper, while easily adjusted (critical) should be two way. I would love to be able to open this thing from the bottom. The back pocket is impossible for me to open one handed or while on the bike, and two out of three times the fabric gets caught under the zipper, causing me to remove the jacket completely and wrestle with it on the side of the road. Jacket breathability is okay. A truly waterproof/highly breathable membrane jacket is quite a thing to ask given how much heat and moisture a cyclist can produce under effort. It would be nice to have a second chest pocket— not necessary, but nice. On the whole, happy and would recommend.

Good customer service, nice jacket. Just right over a short sleeve t shirt on cool fall mornings.

It is a great looking jacket and fits well. Unfortunately/fortunately I haven't been caught in the rain since the jacket was delivered.

Good, simple rain jacket. More water proof than most cycling jackets and more breathable due to zipper vents. Venting matters much more than breathable material in rainwear breathability. Strong recommendation. Showers Pass knows rain.
