Berghaus Cadence Windstopper jacket


OUT OF THE box this jacket struck us as looking like a (very well specified) tracksuit top. The cut, which dips marginally longer at the back when off the bike but not enough to make a difference when riding, has a relaxed look that would be at home in almost any sport.

It’s got two zipped hand warmer pockets and a drawcord hem but is otherwise sleekly minimal. It’s the fabric that makes the difference here. GoreWindstopper keeps the wind and rain off while ensuring you never get sweaty.

The Cadence is a great jacket for high-energy use but the styling doesn’t quite work on the bike, with sleeves that ride up short. That said, if you want one jacket for a mix of sports then the quality of the fabric for the price could work for you.

Price 150$
