The POC Guardian Air Jacket is a lightweight, highly breathable riding jacket for trail and enduro use. It suits riders who want wind and shower protection plus abrasion resistance, without the sauna effect of a hardshell.

The main fabric is a ripstop weave chosen for durability against branches and dirt, with a water-repellent finish that handles light rain and mud spray. Ventilation is the point of the Air version: mesh panels and a loose cut through the body let heat out on climbs. The cut is long enough in the sleeves and back for a riding position, with elasticated cuffs to keep debris out.
