Troy Lee Designs DESCENT Jacket

I fell in a CX/gravel race on some pretty sharp gravel. I slid on it and got caught by a sharp rock face coming from the backslope of the trail.The jacket prevented rips and showed much less wear than I expected. It appears to have been designed with a robust rip-stop fabric on the exterior and a somewhat elastic waterproof lining on the interior. The ripstop fabric will soak, causing gravity to pull the saturated water towards your waist.If you're riding in cold rain, definitely order a larger size and wear an insulated lining beneath. I ride in Boulder, CO so our summers can prompt cold rain showers sometimes. Rode through one and I was fine.

Good fit, The hood works great, only two pockets but I think that helps with making it so waterproof. A little pricey for a rain jacket? But I would buy it again!

This jacket fits light and is cut for MTB. I am happy I bought it rather than using much bulkier rain jackets that I use for skiing. TLD never disappoints with their top quality gear!

The material on this jacket is good quality, but the sizing is off. I am large and it feels tight when I zip it. I recommend to order a size bigger you will not regret it.

Love it!!!

The sizing chart provided for this product is way off! First of all, the measurements provided are cut in half. For example, if you have a 42 inch chest you’re suppose to choose the size range listed that includes 21, which according to the chart they provided is a medium. (You have to go to Back County’s website to get that info. It’s not included in their Amazon listing.) So, I followed their chart and ordered a medium. But when it arrived it was so small I couldn’t even put it on. Seriously. Is posting an accurate size chart really that hard? Had to return it and order a new one. Now I’m waiting another week and a half for the larger size one to arrive. I’ll never order from Back Country again.

I wanted a windbreaker for my pants and this was exactly expected. Good price.
