The Baja S4 jacket is a proper, off-road jacket for the rider who rides in hot weather and who generates even more heat when they’re riding. As you would expect, it doesn’t come with a waterproof membrane. You could wear any waterproof over the jacket. The Scott would be brilliant, although would prefer you to use their extraordinarily expensive Enduro S4 waterproof jacket. The Baja is made up from large areas of Schoeller Dynatec mesh, which is super strong and flows huge volumes of air. For comfort, there are also areas of stretch Cordura whilst, for abrasion resistance, the most vulnerable zones are covered in SuperFabric.The detail beggars belief, with D3O armour throughout, extra vents, adjusters and more pockets than you’ll ever need. The full spec. appears below, but if you’re interested you should also watch our video review.
