Hello everyone I'm about to pull the trigger on a MTB jacket but stuck in a mental hurdle need help.
Now, my options are down to 2 jackets: Leatt 5.0 HydraDri and Endura MT500 Waterproof II.
I have recently ordered the Least jacket size M but it didn't fit so sent it back. Really liked the construction And overall quality but I'm very interested in the Endura also. What I need most is breathability and ventilation waterproofing isn't that big of deal for me.
Let me know your feelings about the 2 jackets. Cheers!

Regularly sharing a washing machine with riding buddies on trips away, I’ve concluded that it doesn’t matter which is better, the most important thing is picking your brand and sticking to it because it makes sorting the laundry much easier

I have Endura GV500:Endura UK best "waterproof" jacket I have owned. It'sd not 100% waterproof, at least anymore after many washes (should meaybe DWR coat it...) and it could be couple of centimeter longer from front but the otherwise the cut is perfect for me, it's light and breathable enough because I mainly use it in colder rainy weathers anyway. For not so rainy but colder days I just bought Gore Lupra, this one have perfect cut, just adding those missing cm's on front :) Ps. Both bought from discount, I think around 130€-140€ is max to pay for mtb jacket :p

Was considering the Lupra too.. thanks for the input 👌🏻
Agree on the pricing $$$. I Want to take advantage of the " black Friday" sales.

So I pulled the trigger! Purchased the MT500 on sale for €130. Got the dark forest green color cuz it was super discounted and the last one in a Large. (The black one was 254€) I hope I don't crash and knock myself unconscious, they'll never find me in the woods 🤣🤣🤣 (camo helmet,gloves and dark green jacket!!) gonna put some Recco reflectors😅
As soon as I get the jacket I'll post my first impressions of fit since I'm between sizes maybe it could help someone else. Cheers.
