THIS JACKET IS unusual in that it’s a softshell with (waterproof) taped seams. The feature detail matches that high specification, with waterproof zips, two hand warmer pockets and one at the rear, plus pit zips too.
It’s extremely well made and easy to see where your money goes in terms of construction, but the cut is so easy it verges on being oversize. And while the arms are a good shape, the wrist closures left us with room to spare even when pulled in fully.
Once riding in anger the jacket does keep a lot of the weather out (helped by a good high collar) but it also gets very warm.We found ourselves wishing the vents were longer. This is one to keep for colder days on the trails – as long as you like a very casual fit.
