5. PJ-1 Packable Expedition Jacket by Search and State
Versatile and essential, the PJ-1 Hooded Packable Expedition Jacket was designed for and inspired by Search and State’s Search Brigade rides. This year’s 3,000-mile voyage will begin in New York, wind through the heart of America, and end at the coast of California. The jacket’s hood is smartly designed to fit under a helmet and cinch around your face to protect your mug from whipping winds and torrential downpours. The body is lined with a breathable, reactive climate membrane to cool your body down when things get hot and trap heat when temperatures dip, while the exterior fabric is wind- and water-proof with good stretch and a soft-to-the-touch feel. The design is sleek enough for an off-bike venture—French dip and IPAs, anyone?—and the fit is relaxed, so you get more length all around, and looser arms for easy layering.
