LS2 Zirconium Evo Jacket
LS2 Zirconium Evo Jacket - A fully waterproof urban commuter jacket with a rain-tunnel flap and detachable hood, waterproof to 8000mm with removable CE Level 2 armour. CE certified Class A.
The LS2 Zirconium Evo is built for daily commuting in a more urban silhouette than the Sepang or Narvik, without giving up real weatherproofing. It's the jacket in this range built specifically around a rain-tunnel flap and internal drainage, useful if your commute doesn't wait for good weather.
The outer shell is stretch softshell combined with ripstop fabric, waterproofed to 8000mm H2O with a breathability rating of 5000g/m2/24h, and a removable thermal liner for cooler months. Wind-stop cuffs keep cold air from working up the sleeve.
Protection is removable CE SAFE TECH certified shoulder (434) and elbow (535) armour, both EN1621-1:2012 Level 2, with dual-function inner pockets that also take LS2's optional CE chest protector, plus compatibility with the LS2 851 back protector. External shoulder protectors add further impact resistance. The jacket is CE certified Class A (EN17092-4:2020).
Commuter-specific details: a large rain-tunnel flap with internal water-outlet drainage, a titanium semi-automatic front zip lock, a detachable hood with zip and button-lock fasteners, an inner belt-connection loop for riding pants, two hand pockets, two chest vents and sleeve vents, a neoprene comfort collar, and an adjustable bottom hem for a tailored fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does the rain-tunnel flap actually do?
A1: It's a flap over the front zip with internal drainage built in, so water running down the jacket in heavy rain gets channelled away from the zip line instead of pooling at the closure, a detail most jackets in this price range skip.
Q2: Is the hood removable, or is it permanent?
A2: It's fully detachable, held on with a zip and button-lock fastener system, so you can run the jacket without it when you don't need it.
Q3: How does this compare to the Zoom, the other urban jacket in the range?
A3: Both are waterproof to 8000mm with removable thermal liners and Class A certification. The Zirconium Evo adds the rain-tunnel flap and detachable hood, the Zoom instead uses external TPU shoulder sliders and a sportier collar closure. Pick based on which extras you'd actually use.
Q4: How do I read the size chart?
A4: Match your height, chest and waist in centimetres against the table on this page rather than a generic clothing size.
Q5: Does this come in a women's fit?
A5: Not currently, the Zirconium Evo is available in a men's fit only. For a women's touring or all-season jacket, look at the Sepang Lady or Narvik Lady instead.
